Reclaim Your Time: A Cozy Self-Care Ritual You’ll Love

Reclaim Your Time: A Cozy Self-Care Ritual You’ll Love

Posted by Melda Moda on

How are your New Year’s resolutions coming along? One of mine was to spend less time glued to my phone—it was starting to feel like a permanent extension of my hand. I knew I needed to make a change, so I set up a few simple systems: there are now daily limits on social media apps and my phone goes into sleep mode from 8PM until 9AM.


The sleep mode limit has been tough I will admit, but these small shifts freed up more time than I expected. It has allowed me to tap into things I used to enjoy before social media was a thing. A few weekends ago, instead of endlessly scrolling, I revisited a tradition I hadn’t indulged in for ages—a long, luxurious bath on Sunday morning. With the weather bitterly cold and no bubble bath on hand, I got creative with pantry items. The result? A wonderfully relaxing botanical soak, made even better by an audiobook playing in the background. Afterward, I used a thick lavender-infused body butter to moisturize my skin, slipped into a pair of fuzzy socks and my silky-soft Melda Moda Bissap robe, and spent some time journaling.

 

The ritual of mixing my soak, moisturizing, and wrapping myself in my robe was the perfect way to unplug and unwind. It was so calming that I’ve made it my weekly Sunday reset.

Your Turn to Wind Down

Feeling overstimulated or overwhelmed? Create your own reset with these simple steps:

  •  Set the vibe: Play calming music or a guided meditation like one of the Slumber Sounds that comes with our Bissap robe or an audiobook.
  • Soak it all in: Treat yourself to a soothing bath with a store bought bubble bath or a DIY bath soak.
  • Pamper yourself: Nourish your skin with a rich body butter or oil.
  • Cozy up: Slip into a silky Melda Moda robe (like the Bissap print!) to feel chic and comfortable.
  • Reflect: Take a few moments to journal, clear your mind, or list what you’re grateful for.
