A gentle reset before spring - for mind, body, and soul.
Winter has a way of slowing everything down. Our energy dips, our skin dries out, routines get heavier, and sometimes our thoughts do too.
And that’s okay - winter is meant for slowing down.
But as the end of the season approaches and the light slowly returns, it’s a good moment to wake ourselves back up. Not with pressure or productivity goals, but with small rituals that make us feel human again.
Think of this as a soft reset before spring. Slow, comforting, and a little witchy.
Brew a Cleansing Tea Ritual
Start simple. Make tea.
Whatever your favorite is works, but this time of year is perfect for something warming and cleansing to help your body shake off winter heaviness.
A simple blend you can try:
-
ginger for warmth and circulation
-
lemon for freshness
-
mint or nettle for a light cleansing effect
-
honey if you need sweetness
Drink it slowly. No scrolling. No rushing. Just sit for a few minutes and let your body catch up with your mind.
Sometimes self-care is just remembering to pause.
Wake Up Winter Skin
Cold months leave skin dry, dull, and tired. A simple kitchen mask can help bring it back to life before spring arrives.
Mix:
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 tablespoon yogurt or aloe gel
-
a pinch of turmeric or cinnamon
Apply for 10–15 minutes, rinse gently, then moisturize. Skin feels softer, warmer, more alive.
It’s less about beauty and more about taking a moment to care for yourself.
A Mask for Witchy, Growing Hair
Winter air is rough on hair - dryness, breakage, dullness. Feed it before the season changes.
Mix:
-
1 tablespoon castor or coconut oil
-
1 egg yolk
-
1 tablespoon honey
Massage into scalp and lengths, leave for 20 minutes, then wash well.
Think of it as feeding the hair you’ll have in spring and summer. A little patience now becomes growth later.
A Small Ritual to Cleanse the Soul
Open a window, even if it’s cold. Light a candle.
Write down things you’re ready to leave behind with winter - exhaustion, doubts, stress, old worries, whatever feels heavy.
Read it once, then safely tear or burn the paper. Wash your hands in warm water and imagine the weight leaving with it.
It doesn’t have to be dramatic. Just intentional.
Waking Up Again
Spring doesn’t ask you to become a new person.
It just asks you to wake up again - gently, slowly, in your own time.
So drink your tea. Take care of your skin and hair. Let some things go. And give yourself permission to move into the next season a little lighter.
That’s self-care. Not beige. Not perfect. Just real.
