Besties, it’s SELF-CARE SUMMER!! This summer, we’re letting go of the pressure to be perfect and focusing on having fun and making memories! 

Whether you’re planning the ultimate soft girl summer or just trying to make it through the heat in one piece, here are 10 self-care ideas to try—plus some dreamy World of LLA products to elevate each moment.

1. Upgrade your morning routine

It’s summer—finally—which means we can slow down and enjoy our mornings (no more 6 AM alarms, thank you very much!!). Start your day with a 5-minute gratitude meditation or write down 3 affirmations that make you feel powerful and confident.

Light our Coquette Candle (hello, strawberry-vanilla sugar magic) while you get ready or journal. She’s the perfect scent for your soft girl era.

2. Have a phone-free day

Seriously. Put it down. Log off. Touch grass.

Spending a full day offline can reset your brain in the best way. Try going on a picnic, painting your nails, reading your favoUrite book, or taking a swim. Focus on your life—not what everyone else is posting about theirs.

Bring our Tea Time Candle with you and unwind screen-free. Bonus points if you sip a real cup of tea while you're at it.

3. Try a new journal prompt

Journaling is a summer soul saver. Whether you’re writing about your dream life or just venting about your summer crush, putting pen to paper can be so healing.

Try this prompt: “What does my dream summer look like? How do I want to feel by the end of it?”

Diffuse your fave essential oils and put on a quiet playlist for peak main character energy.

4. Find a creative hobby

Not everything has to be a side hustle, bestie. Hobbies give us permission to just be—to create, play, and enjoy something for no other reason than it feels good.

Try painting, junk journalling, learning to crochet, dancing in your room, or diving into candle-making.

Looking for a fun place to start? Our DIY Candle Kit is the perfect intro to crafting your own signature scent. 

5. Have a summer camp day

Speaking of doing things just because they’re fun, what better way to take care of yourself this summer than letting your inner child run free?! 

Gather your besties for a summer camp day– run through sprinklers, make friendship bracelets, and eat popsicles until your fingers are sticky! It’s self-care, we promise. 

6. Work on body acceptance

It’s swimsuit season, which means the pressure to “look perfect” is everywhere. But your body is not a trend—she’s your home, and she deserves love. Instead of fixating on how you look, focus on how you feel. Move in ways that bring you joy, wear outfits you love, and take time to appreciate everything your body lets you do.

Need a confidence boost? Our Perfume Rollers aren’t just about smelling good—they’re a total confidence boost in your pocket. Find your signature scent and spritz it when you need a little reminder that you’re that girl.

7. Get enough sleep

Summer is full of late nights, spontaneous adventures, and sleepovers with friends—but don’t forget to rest, too. Sleep is your secret weapon for glowing skin, good moods, and staying present. 

Wind down with our Nightmare Room Spray (don’t let the name fool you—it’s a total dream). Spray on your pillow and drift into soft, sweet slumber.

8. Spend time in nature

Fresh air and sunshine are the ultimate mood boosters. Whether you're going on a hot girl walk, playing pickleball, drawing flowers in a park, or simply cloud-watching in your backyard, being in nature helps you reset and recharge.

Tip: print off our new Colouring Pages for an easy activity you can do outside!

9. Romanticize the Little Things

The secret to having the perfect summer? Making the little things feel magical.

Pour your iced coffee into your cutest glass. Put on a sundress just to read a book. Light a candle while you clean your room. Play your favourite playlist while you get ready for no reason.

Set the mood with a candle from our Garden Party collection- romantic lighting and dreamy scents turn every activity into an event.

10. Relax and be present

This is your reminder to stop trying to curate the perfect summer and just live it. Not every moment has to be Instagram-worthy. Soak in the sunshine, laugh too loud, and be here now. Summer is for making memories with your favourite people!
