Hey Friends! 👋
Dagnabbit, enough is enough! February is rough. We’re so close to spring, you can almost smell the freshly cut grass (or maybe that’s just me dreaming!), but winter’s clinging on like a stubborn burr. Anyone else feeling that “I’m so over this” winter fatigue? My brain is officially on low power mode. But fear not ya’ll! We’re in the home stretch! Let’s tackle these last few weeks of winter together with End-of-Winter Blues? 5 Cozy Self-Care Tips (Hazel’s Soapery style)! Ready to shake off those winter blues and embrace a little pre-spring joy? Let’s do this!
1. Cozy Up & Embrace the Hibernation Vibes (One Last Time!)
Okay, winter’s not giving up without a fight, so let’s give in (just a little!). Think warm blankets (the fluffier, the better!), your favorite fuzzy socks (the ones that look like a yeti lives on your feet!), a steaming mug of tea or hot chocolate (with marshmallows, or a splash of something stronger if you’re over 21!), and a good book or movie (or that Netflix series you’ve been meaning to binge). Light some candles (the ones that smell like a warm hug!), put on some chill tunes, and just chill.
2. Nourish Your Body with Warm & Comforting Foods (aka Soul Food)
Winter is definitely comfort food season, but let’s make sure we’re nourishing our bodies and souls. Think warm, hearty meals that make you feel good from the inside out. Soups, stews, roasted root vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips – the local Farmer’s Market stuff!), and maybe even a little mac and cheese (because, well, winter!). And don’t forget to treat yourself to something yummy every now and then. A little indulgence is good for the soul (and the brain-tired!). 🍲
3. Gentle Movement to Shake Off the Winter Stiffies (aka Dance Like a Toddler, But Grown-Up Version)
I know, I know, it’s so tempting to just stay glued to the couch. But even a little movement can make a huge difference in how you feel, especially after a long winter of being less active. Try some gentle stretching (the kind that doesn’t make you groan!), a relaxing yoga session at home (YouTube is your friend!), or if you’re feeling brave, a short walk outside (if the weather cooperates!). Getting your blood flowing can help boost your energy and lift your mood. Think of it as “dancing like a toddler, but the grown-up, slightly more graceful version.” 🚶♀️
4. Indulge in Some Much-Needed Self-Care (Because You Deserve It!)
This is so important, especially when you’re feeling that end-of-winter drag. Take some time for yourself to do things that make you feel good. A long, hot bath (with bath bombs, obviously!), a face mask (the kind that makes you look like a swamp monster, but feels amazing!), reading a good book (the kind you can’t put down!), or just some quiet time to yourself (no phones allowed!). You deserve it! 💖
5. Transform Your Shower into a Mini-Spa Escape (aka Suds & Serenity)
The shower can be a little oasis of calm and rejuvenation. Our Mindful Shower Sugar Scrub Sets are perfect for this. The AM scrub, with invigorating peppermint essential oil, is great for a morning pick-me-up when you’re feeling sluggish (because let’s face it, mornings in winter are rough!). The PM scrub, with calming lavender essential oil, helps you relax and unwind after a long day (or a long winter!). Plus, they’ll leave your skin feeling amazing, even in the dry winter air. ✨

Bonus Tip: Start planning for spring! Looking forward to warmer weather and longer days can be a great mood booster. Start thinking about your garden (even if it’s just window boxes!), your spring wardrobe (hello, sunshine dresses!), or any fun activities you want to do when the weather gets warmer (picnics, anyone?). 🌱
