As the weekend draws to a close, I find solace in the quiet moments of Sunday—a day dedicated to rejuvenation and self-care after a week filled with the various hats I wear, from work and school to nurturing my business and the joys of motherhood.
My self-care ritual begins with the subtle dance of sweet-smelling incense, a personal touch that sets the tone for the day. Lately, I've been enchanted by the invigorating scent of lemongrass and ginger – the Altar incense from CuratedSOUF. Trust me, it's a game-changer and you should get some too – refreshing and revitalizing. I light one as soon as I wake up, allowing the aroma to gently fill the air, creating a calming atmosphere that lingers throughout the morning.
The journey continues with a luxurious hot shower, a moment to cleanse away the week's stresses. My go-to is the Cardamom, Rose & Vanilla body butter, a divine indulgence that leaves my skin feeling pampered and nourished.
In my skincare routine, I've crafted a ritual that is both personal and effective. An herbal face wash, made by yours truly, sets the stage, followed by my favorite serums—hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. The finale is a dose of moisture with a ceramide moisturizer by CosRx, sealed with a light facial oil that I create myself.
While Sundays often come with a touch of academia for my ongoing classes, I make a conscious effort to tackle any homework early in the day. This leaves the rest of my Sunday open for moments of pure relaxation, whether it's getting lost in the pages of a good book or immersing myself in the world of a captivating movie.
I understand that Sundays aren't always synonymous with relaxation for everyone, but I encourage you to find at least one thing that brings you peace. Whether it's a warm cup of tea, a brisk walk, or simply taking a few moments for yourself, prioritize what makes your heart content.
