As the seasons shift, it’s the perfect time to give our self-care routines a little refresh. In this guide we’ll explore some practical ways to nurture ourselves during this transition, blending cozy comforts with smart wellness strategies.
Up-North Retreat
My favorite way to celebrate the change of seasons is by taking a weekend away to soak up the fresh North Shore air. Of course, I like to take my self-care routine up a notch by packing BLNCD’s CBD Topicals. Some of my favorites include:
- Cleansing Oil rich in papaya enzyme and moringa
- CBG Face Mist for a refreshing boost of moisture
- CBD Face Oil to calm and hydrate the skin
- CBD Salve to calm the muscles
- Relax Aromatherapy Roll On for on-the-go relaxation
The combination of these products allows me to take full advantage of this self-care getaway.
Practices and Tools to Improve Your Wellness Routine
1. Evening Relaxation Ritual
I love to chill-out after a productive day by bundling up in blankets with a good book and sipping a CBD drink (in a cute glass with a splash of tart cherry juice and ice, of course). This combination will always be my go-to sleep remedy. If anyone else struggles to fall asleep at a decent time, I can guarantee you this is worth a shot!
If you’ve heard it before, it’s worth repeating: screen time before bed isn’t ideal for deep sleep. Swapping late-night social media scrolls for a book will always be such a power move in my eyes. Now, in all honesty, is this something I do every night? No, but this is definitely something I thank myself for in the morning after having the best sleep of my life! Therefore, it will always be something I do for myself when I’m needing a little extra self-care.
2. Dry Brushing and CBD Salve
Something I have recently learned is that our lymphatic system loves dry brushing. So, of course, I had to add it to my everyday shower routine. The practice of dry brushing increases blood and lymph flow, which helps the body detox from waste and toxins. The change of season brings all sorts of sickness, so when you dry brush and remove these toxins, it helps to create a stronger immune system.
On top of the immune support, dry brushing will remove dead skin cells, making moisturizers work more effectively. That’s where the CBD Salve from BLNCD comes in. I love to massage in this healing salve right after the shower for a muscle relaxer. It’s the best addition I could’ve ever made to my “Everything Shower.” (If you haven’t found out about the “Everything Shower,” your first task in creating a self-care routine is to look this up and create your own<3)
3. Reflective Journaling
As seasons transition, one of my favorite things to do is to look back on memories from the previous season to reflect on all of the wonderful moments and adventures that took place. I love to document my gratitude for all that has happened and all that’s to come. Journaling has been something that has been in my self-care routine for years now.
To take my journaling experience to the next level, I start by making a tea and apply some BLNCD essential oils to the insides of my wrists and the spot behind my ears. This makes the experience special and something I look forward to doing. Journaling doesn’t always have to be about gratitude; I think writing should be an intuitive experience. Let yourself fill a page with whatever your heart desires.
Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a relaxing evening routine, or a moment of reflection through journaling, find what works best for you and make it a regular part of your life. Here’s to a season of growth, reflection, and self-care!
