Practicing self-care is essential for our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. But how can we practice self-care in a sustainable way? Taking care of yourself is important because it helps you feel your best and maintain the energy and focus needed to pursue your eco-lifestyle. Just like keeping your cup full, taking care of yourself ensures you have the resources to give back to the planet and others. We'll share a weekend self-care routine that is both eco-friendly and rejuvenating.
Take a Bath. Taking a bath can be a great addition to your weekend routine, as it can provide a relaxing and rejuvenating experience after a long week. You can use the Good Hippie’s Calm Bath Salts to make it more relaxing. If you don’t have a bath, try using Earth Tu Face’s Sea Salt Body Scrub. You can hang eucalyptus leaves on your shower head to make it prettier, and more relaxing!
Do a complete Skincare Routine. Start with Cleo + Coco’s Charcoal Cleanse Face and Body Bar which comes with less packaging and is more environmentally friendly. Later, treat your skin to a nourishing and rejuvenating face mask with Snow Fox Skincare’s Herbal Youth Facial Mask. Lastly, use Activist Skincare’s Calming Force Clear Skin Serum to feel perfect!
Do Yoga and Meditate. Take some time to center yourself with a yoga or meditation practice. You don't need to go to a studio or invest in expensive equipment. There are plenty of free online resources to help you get started. Not only does yoga and meditation reduce stress and anxiety, but it also promotes physical health. If you want to start doing yoga, check Yoga with Adriene. It is a popular YouTube channel that provides high-quality free yoga videos for people of all levels, genders, and body types. If you want to invest in a yoga mat, we love Tranquil Yogi’s Oasis Natural Rubber Yoga Mat.
Try to Get Some Sun. Spending time outside in nature is a great way to boost your mood and energy levels. Try to get some sun by going for a hike, taking a walk in the park, or simply sitting in your backyard. Just be sure to wear sunscreen and protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Ginger Armor’s 2-in-1 Sunscreen & Moisturizer can be a good option as it is 100% mineral and plant-based.
Try New Types of Teas. Instead of reaching for your usual coffee, try something different. There are many sustainable and organic tea brands that offer a variety of flavors and health benefits. Not only does drinking tea help you relax, but it also supports sustainable agriculture and fair trade practices. Loose tea is considered better than tea bags because it allows for a higher quality and fresher tea experience with more nuanced flavor and aroma, as well as being more environmentally friendly due to the reduction in packaging waste. Saathëa’s Butterfly Tea can be a good start for you!
Eat Some Vegetables. Cooking a healthy meal is a great way to practice self-care. Try incorporating more vegetables into your diet and experiment with new recipes. Not only does eating a plant-based diet support your health, but it also reduces your carbon footprint and supports sustainable agriculture practices.
By incorporating these sustainable self-care practices into your weekend routine, you can prioritize your well-being while also supporting the planet. Remember, small changes can make a big impact. So go ahead, treat yourself to some eco-friendly self-care. You deserve it!
