Reclaiming Ritual: Your Mother’s Day Slow Beauty Guide
Self-care doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive. It’s about the intention behind the moment. The conscious pause. The breath. The presence.
As Mother's Day approaches, our thoughts naturally drift toward the mothers and nurturers in our lives—the ones who hold it all together with strength, softness, and unshakable love.
But let’s take a moment to shift the spotlight. This year, let Mother’s Day be just as much about you. About carving out your time. About honoring the beauty of stillness, slowness, and self-nourishment. Because you deserve more than just one day. You deserve time to reconnect with yourself, to fill your own cup, and to feel like you again.
Here are some of our favorite ways to make space for you this Mother’s Day:
Take a Long Bath + Watch Your Favorite Netflix Show
Yes, bring the iPad into the bathroom. Light a candle. Add herbs or bath salts. Let the steam rise as your shoulders finally drop. Combine this with a cup of tea—or maybe a glass of wine—and allow yourself to be entertained, soothed, and held all at once.
Soak in the tub with a book or your IPad! Enjoy it!
Curl Up with a Good Book in the Sunshine
Whether it's 10 pages or an hour-long escape, reading in a sunny spot feels like a luxury. Add your favorite blanket, cozy socks, and maybe even a snack, and you've got the perfect midday retreat.
Do Your Full Shower and Skincare Ritual
You know that dreamy, head-to-toe routine you wish you had time for? This is the moment. Exfoliating. A slow face massage. Your seasonal Garden Mask to draw out winter impurities. Finish with your Facial Balm or Night Serum, and feel your skin (and spirit) exhale.
Take that moment in your routine for you.
Take a Slow Walk in Nature
Even if it’s just a loop around your block or a nearby park, time outside can reset your nervous system. Breathe in the scent of blossoms. Let your mind wander. Notice the way spring is slowly unfurling all around you—just like you.
Nap Without Guilt
You are not lazy. You are restoring. A short, cozy nap can be the sweetest form of resistance in a world that constantly asks us to go, do, be, and is currently getting more and more stressful. Apply your Cardamom Lip Balm, take a deep breath and rest.
Apply Your Seasonal Mask
Let your skin receive the nourishment it deserves. Our Garden Mask is packed with spring plants like dandelion, cleavers, and lemon balm to pull out toxins, renew tired cells, and restore clarity to your skin—and your spirit. Even take a moment with your Rose Face Scrub as a mask and let it work its magic, even just for a few minutes.

Dry Brush + Oil Massage
This ancient practice is one of our favorite acts of self-devotion. Dry brushing stimulates circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and leaves you feeling more alive in your body. Follow it with your favorite body oil, massaging from feet to heart in long, intentional strokes.
Let This Day Be Yours
However you choose to spend it, know this: you are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to rest. To be still. To nourish yourself, just as you nourish others. And you don’t need a special occasion to do so—but if there was ever a perfect time, this is it.
Because caring for yourself is a form of mothering.
You don’t have to earn it. You just have to say yes to it.
