The beginning of a new year is a great time to focus on new ways in which you can prioritise positive habits, wellness and rejuvenation within your own home. Check out what Gillian, the Lymphatic Facialist, has to say about creating a relaxing space within the comfort of your own home.
Self-care doesn’t have to mean expensive spa trips or lavish getaways. Instead, it’s about carving out a little corner of your home dedicated to peace and relaxation.
Finding What Works for You
Your home sanctuary can be anywhere that feels right for you. For me it’s the bath. There’s nothing like sinking into warm water after a long day. I set up my bath with a wooden tray to hold a book or a cup of tea, light a scented candle, and add some bubbles—Laura Thomas products are a favourite! I dim the lights, play calming music, and complete a simple five-step skincare routine. It’s my time to unwind, let go of stress and recharge my energy.
However, ifyou’re not into baths or don’t have one in your home, no problem. I suggest allocating a peaceful nook in your home, which will work just as well. Choose a quiet spot and enhance it with soft lighting, a cosy blanket, and your favourite wellness tools. This can be your space for reading, meditating, or even just enjoying a moment of stillness. Even five minutes here can make a world of difference. These small acts of self-care reflect the holistic approach I’ve embraced throughout my career.
