5 ideas to help you stay calm in the chaos of life.

Unpopular opinion – Self-care goes beyond the allure of alcohol, sweets, or a duvet day. The delicate balance between home life and personal well-being often feels like a relentless juggling act. Amidst the chaos of managing chores, meeting family needs, and squeezing in time for yourself, it's crucial to prioritise self-care without the pressure of extravagant retreats or elaborate cleanses. Embrace these simple yet effective rituals designed to infuse a touch of self-care into your daily life – no need for an Instagram-worthy setup.

Schedule Your Serenity: Contrary to selfishness, scheduling "me time" is essential for maintaining balance. Grab a cup of herbal tea, sit down with a planner (like our undated weekly planner – no paper wasted on skipped weeks), and plan out your week. Whether it's a short walk, a 15-minute yoga session, or meditation, write it down. The act of writing deepens your connection with the information and helps solidify your commitment to self-care.

Make Time for Your Squad: Surround yourself with friends who uplift, inspire, and bring laughter into your life. Organise brunches, walks, or coffee dates to foster genuine connections and positive vibes. Don't forget to carry our French market bag to keep those positive vibes flowing. Remember, you become the average of the people you surround yourself with, so choose your circle wisely.

Detox & Decompress: After a taxing day of adulting, create a personal spa haven at home. Indulge in a warm bath with detoxing magnesium flakes, light a scented candle for calming vibes, and sip on rejuvenating herbal tea. Let your worries melt away in the warmth and fragrance – you've earned this moment of relaxation.

Get Plant-Powered: Nurture your space with greenery, known to boost mood and creativity. Houseplants offer benefits like improved attention, increased productivity, reduced stress, and a happier outlook.
