Your Self Care Tonic Menu ✨

Week 16: April 14 – 20

Hello beautiful, and welcome to a fresh new week 🤍
This week’s self care menu is here to help you reset, clear, and reconnect — in small, manageable ways. Each tonic is a gentle nudge to honour your energy, your body, and your mind with intention.

Pick up to 5 that speak to your current mood and needs. These rituals don’t take much time, but the shift they create is powerful.

🌸 Dry Body Brushing + Cold Shower – 10 mins

Stimulate your lymph, increase circulation, and feel invigorated from head to toe.

How to:

• Before showering, use a dry body brush in long, upward strokes — always brushing toward the heart.

• Start at your feet and work your way up to stimulate blood flow and gentle exfoliation.

• Follow with a cool or cold shower for a natural energy boost and skin tightening effect.

• Optional: Finish with body oil or a gua sha stone on legs for a full-body glow.

📱 Digital Declutter – 30 mins

Clear the digital noise to create more space for clarity and calm.

How to:

• Set a timer for 30 minutes and pick one digital space:

  • Camera roll

  • Email inbox

  • Notes app

  • Follower/following list on social media

• Delete, sort, or unsubscribe.

• Finish by changing your phone wallpaper to something inspiring or calming.

• Your mind will feel just as refreshed as your screen.

💆‍♀️ Hair Oiling Ritual + Scalp Massage – 15 mins

A grounding, beauty-boosting ritual that nourishes your scalp and supports healthy hair growth.

How to:

• In a small bowl, mix:

  • 2 tbsp organic cold-pressed castor oil

  • 2 tbsp coconut or jojoba oil

  • A few drops of rosemary or peppermint essential oil (stimulates scalp)

• Warm slightly and apply directly to the scalp using fingertips or a dropper.

• Massage for 5–10 minutes in slow, circular motions — focus on relaxing the temples and neck.

• Wrap hair in a towel or leave overnight.

• Wash out with shampoo (double cleanse if needed).

🍋 Gut-Loving Morning Tonic – 10 mins

Start the day with hydration, digestion support, and a little inner glow-up.

How to:

• In a glass, combine:

  • Warm water

  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (with the “mother”)

  • Optional: pinch of sea salt, greens powder, chlorophyll, or aloe juice

• Sip slowly first thing in the morning before coffee or breakfast.

• This simple ritual can help support your digestion, skin, and energy.

🧘‍♀️ 5-Minute Morning Reset – 5 mins

Even one mindful pause can set the tone for your entire day.

How to:

• Find a quiet space after waking. Sit or stand tall.

• Close your eyes and breathe deeply.

• Inhale: clarity | Exhale: tension

• Add a few gentle stretches (neck rolls, shoulder circles, cat-cow).

• Set one word or intention for the day: “Present.” “Open.” “Soft.”

✨ You don’t need a full day at a spa — just a few minutes of real intention.
Choose what feels supportive, loving, or refreshing, and make it yours.

Enjoy,
Jacinta xoxo
