Your Self Care Tonic Menu ✨

Written By Jacinta Brown

Week 18: April 28 – May 4

The final week of April is here — and with it, an invitation to clear space, reflect, and reset 🤍
This week’s tonic menu is designed to help you cleanse your energy, honour your growth, and prepare for a new month with intention. Think: soft endings, fresh beginnings, and full-body presence.

As always, choose up to 5 tonics that feel aligned with your energy right now. Each one is a beautiful pause — a reminder that caring for yourself can be simple, sensual, and soul-deep.

🔥 Sage, Palo Santo or Incense Ritual – 10 mins

Clear your space, clear your mind.

How to:

  • Choose your cleansing tool: sage bundle, palo santo, or natural incense.

  • Light it and gently blow out the flame to allow the smoke to rise.

  • Move slowly around your space or your body, setting an intention like:
    “I release what no longer serves me.”

  • Let the smoke drift into corners, around doorways, or over your energy field.

  • Finish in stillness, breathing deeply for 1–2 minutes.

💌 Monthly Reflection + May Intentions – 20 mins

Anchor your energy before you enter the new month.

How to:

  • Open your journal and light a candle.

  • Reflect on April using prompts like:

    • What am I proud of this month?

    • What challenged me, and what did I learn?

  • Then shift into visioning May:

    • What is one thing I want to embody next month?

    • What do I want to feel more of?

  • Close with a few key words or affirmations for May.

🤰 Bloat-Relief Belly Massage with Oil – 10 mins

Support digestion and emotional release through the belly.

How to:

  • Warm a small amount of oil (castor or coconut).

  • Lie down comfortably and apply oil over your abdomen.

  • Using your fingers, massage in slow circular motions:

    • Clockwise direction (following your digestive path)

    • Light but firm pressure, focusing on the lower belly

  • Breathe deeply and imagine softening any tension or stagnation.

💅 Solo Spa Hour (Mask, Nails, Slow Music) – 30 mins

Romanticise your routine and turn it into a self-love session.

How to:

  • Light a candle or incense and put on a calming playlist.

  • Apply a face mask or hair mask.

  • Gently file and paint your nails.

  • Move slowly, like you're treating yourself to luxury.

  • Sip herbal tea or cacao while everything soaks in.

🧺 Fresh Linen & Wardrobe Reset – 30 mins

Elevate your everyday spaces to match the energy you’re stepping into.

How to:

  • Change your sheets, fluff your pillows, spritz with linen spray.

  • Declutter a drawer or rearrange your wardrobe — choose pieces that make you feel elegant, strong, or soft.

  • Donate or store anything that doesn’t align.

  • Add something pretty: a crystal, fresh flowers, or a new scent.

Let this final week of April be the soft landing you deserve.
You’re allowed to feel clear. You’re allowed to move slowly. You’re allowed to honour the version of you that’s growing.

Enjoy,
Jacinta xoxo
