Here’s a simple yet revitalizing self-care ritual that women of all ages can fit into their day, no matter how busy they are. This ritual focuses on quick moments of mindfulness, relaxation, and gentle self-care to keep your body and mind rejuvenated.
1. Morning Energy Boost (2 minutes)
Start your day with a quick and mindful stretch.
Stand up tall, take three deep breaths, and stretch your arms toward the sky. Follow up by reaching down to your toes, feeling the gentle release in your back and legs. This short stretch awakens your body and clears your mind, setting a positive tone for the day.
2. Quick Mid-Day Reset (3 minutes)
Refresh your hands and body.
Take a small amount of a whipped body butter or balm and gently massage it into your hands, neck, or shoulders. Focus on the fragrance and sensation—close your eyes and breathe deeply for a few moments, letting the scent calm and refresh you. This quick pause is a mini sensory reset for any time during a busy day.
3. Evening Unwind (5 minutes)
Indulge in an easy, comforting skincare ritual.
Apply a soothing shea butter balm or sugar scrub to your hands, elbows, or feet, gently massaging to nourish your skin and release tension. Follow with a light rinse if using a scrub, then a dab of body butter to keep skin soft.
Light a BRS candle with a relaxing scent and enjoy the soothing glow for a few moments, even if you’re just brushing your teeth or getting ready for bed. This last step helps signal to your body and mind that it's time to wind down.
