Written By Jacinta Brown

This week’s self-care menu is a reset for your skin, breath, energy, and calm. These rituals are gentle, sensory, and completely doable, even in the busiest week. Pick 1–5 that speak to you, and let them be your anchor.

💆‍♀️ FACE MASSAGE WITH OIL

  • Massage in small, slow circles for 1–2 minutes, then repeat on left side

  • Follow with gentle twists or child's pose

Tip: Do this before meals to aid digestion, or anytime you're feeling tight in the chest or belly.
