Life gets busy, bestie. Between school, homework, family, and responsibilities, it’s easy to forget to check in — with others and with yourself. But a simple “Hey, how are you really?” can mean more than you think.
This month, we’re leaning into connection as self-care. Because caring for your mind and your friendships is just as important as cozy baths and candles (though we love those too!).
Start With Yourself
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take five quiet minutes to check in with yourself. You can write these in your journal or just sit quietly and reflect.
- How am I feeling today — really?
- What do I need right now? Rest? Connection? Space?
- What am I holding onto that can let go of?
Light a calming wax melt or candle while you check in. The goal isn’t to fix everything — it’s just to listen to yourself.
Create Space for Heart-to-Hearts 💞
Some nights just call for a heart-to-heart with your bestie. Text that friend who’s been a little quiet lately or the one you’ve been meaning to hang out with forever. Grab your favourite mugs, make some hot chocolate (extra marshmallows, obviously), and light a cozy candle to set the mood. Bonus points if you spritz your room with a little fall-scented room spray—it’s giving main character energy ✨.
You don’t need deep advice or big solutions—just good vibes, real talk, and maybe a few laughs that make your cheeks hurt. Sometimes, being there for each other is the ultimate self-care.
Send a Little Love
Sometimes, connection looks like sending a small surprise: a new candle (maybe one from our fall collection!), a handwritten note, or a funny meme that made you think of them. It’s a tiny way to say, You matter to me.
Final Thoughts
Self-care isn’t always a solo night with face masks and fuzzy socks. Sometimes it’s calling your bestie who always makes you laugh, or talking it out with someone who just gets you. It can even be a quiet conversation with yourself — the kind that reminds you you’re doing your best and you’re not alone. So light your favorite candle, send that “hey, you free?” text, and keep your heart open. 💕
