The holiday season is basically here. Do you know what other season is rolling in with that? Stressful season.

You know the one that involves...

• Getting your Black Friday shopping list together
• Getting your Q4 to-do list done at work
• Making plans with friends and family
• Cooking, baking, meal planning
• Holiday travel plan coordinating
• Wrapping gifts

And, the list goes on.

We get it, this list is overwhelming. But we are actually going to add to it. Yes, you heard that right.

Here's one thing you probably forgot to add to your to-do list: Self-care.

This is the time of year when everyone else is on your radar, and you sometimes push yourself off. But this year, you are going to prioritize YOU.

Why Self-Care Matters Even More During the Holidays

The holidays are supposed to be fun, but instead, you're running on fumes. Self-care doesn't just mean expensive spa days and bubble baths (although we could go for that, too); it goes beyond that.

It's about finding time for you, whatever that looks like — so you don’t slip into burnout mode. While we believe in self-care all year round, this is likely the time you need it most.

Simple Self-Care Practices for Busy Season

1. Prioritize Sleep: Sleep is the first thing we sacrifice as our calendars start to fill up, but it’s the most important for immunity, mood, and focus. Beauty rest is real; make sure you're getting yours so you can feel beautiful inside and out.

2. Check in with yourself: What do you need most? What do you feel deprived of? Maybe it's an everything shower with your favorite playlist, a healthy dinner, or some time with your BFFs.

3. Make time for your love life: We get it, your in-laws are in town. It doesn't exactly scream sexy, but that doesn't mean time with your S/O needs to suffer. Leave the babies (dogs, cats, kids, etc.) with your in-laws and go on a date night!

4. Don’t skip your routines: Whether it’s skincare, writing in your journal, or reading your favorite juicy rom com, carve out time in your schedule for your self-care routines. Literally. Put it on your calendar. Romanitcize it. Our favorite routine to start with is a morning one, so keep reading for a sneak peek at ours that you can copy + paste into your own.

How to Have a Holiday Self-Care Morning with Omorphia

Self-care starts the moment you wake up. The way you begin your morning matters; it sets the tone for everything that follows. That’s why it’s so important to build in small, intentional rituals of care right away. Because we all know if we save it for the end of the day, chances are it’ll get pushed right off your calendar.

So, let’s talk about simple ways to start your day with self-care featuring our products.

 

1.) Wake Up The Right Way

Wake up, no snoozing around here because we all know that does nothing to our beauty rest. And, start your day with a full glass of water (BEFORE your PSL or peppermint latte, girl...) to rehydrate. Then, throw open the curtains, soak in the sunshine, and let your circadian rhythm know it’s time to get your body moving.

2.) Cleanse

Next, a quick cleanse. Use our Turmeric Wash - Brightening & Soothing Cleanser to brighten dull skin, fade dark spots, and soothe irritation, all while deeply hydrating. This will not only brighten your skin, but brighten your whole day, too.

3.) Everything Shower Listen, those holiday events pop up everywhere. (You know, the one your husband claimed to "tell you about weeks ago.")   We want to be fresh and ready for anything this season. Take an everything shower to not only feel your best, but look it too. Start with your favorite pH-balancing yoni wash, then an Ultra-hydrating & Exfoliating Scrub, and shave away.

 

4.) Moisturize + Protect

Don't ruin all your hard work so far. Get glowy with the Restore Feminine Oil - Yoni Oil and Body Glow after your shower to lock in all that hydration. This will help you feel silky-smooth and ready for the day ahead.

5.) Grab Breakfast

Grab something yummy that will fill you up, and follow it up with our daily probiotics, designed to keep your gut happy, immune system strong, and V balanced. It is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you aren't skipping it this time of year because, boy, do we need all the energy we can get!

6.) Pack Your Refresh Wipes

Again, you want to be ready for whatever the crazy day has in store. Make sure to pack a few Refresh wipes in your bag, so you know that you can be fresh and confident for whatever comes your way this season. The best part, each wipe is individually wrapped, making them ideal for your work bag or purse.

7.) Listen to Your Favorite Playlist

On your commute to work (even if it's just from your living room to your home office!), listen to something fun and empowering to start your day. We have a Spotify playlist for every occasion, built just for you.

 

Ready to start prioritizing you this holiday season? It all starts with a routine, making time for yourself and your needs, and an online shopping trip to Omorphia, of course.
