Rushing through a morning routine, grabbing a coffee and breakfast on the way, commuting to work, demanding work days filled with meetings and tight deadlines, constant pressure to meet targets, networking events, social events, friends, dating, family, etc.
Yes, busy lives come with demanding routines. And all this does not leave much room for self-care practices. I totally get it, my friends.
But at the same time, we have to remember that these demanding routines require a balance to help us maintain our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Today, I will share my passion for autumn with you and let you in on my 13 must-have self-care essentials for busy women, helping you to relax and unwind and fully embrace the magical autumn vibes.
The importance of self-care (reminder)
Yes…I know you know, but let’s give ourselves a little reminder on the importance of self-care and all the benefits a regular self-care practice can bring into our lives.
The benefits of a regular self-care practice are :
- Reduced stress levels
- Improved physical health
- Better mental health
- Support a work-life balance
- Increased productivity
- Improved relationships
- Enhanced self-esteem
- …
But most importantly, a consistent self-care practice helps you to build a strong foundation for yourself. A foundation that helps you to stay grounded whenever life gets busy and demanding.
Keep in mind that when you prioritize self-care you invest in yourself and allow yourself to thrive in all areas of your life.

How to make time for self-care
Below are a few tips and tricks to help you make time for these much-needed and let me tell you, well-deserved self-care practices and self-care essentials.
- Schedule time for self-care activities in your diary – be pragmatic and schedule the time for your self-care practices in your diary
- Set boundaries – don’t compromise on your self-care time and commit to yourself and your wellbeing
- Leverage your routines – leverage your existing routines e.g. morning routine, evening routine, Sunday routine, etc., and make your self-care practices part of your existing routine
- Start small – you don’t have to change everything overnight; start with one self-care activity that you do daily and take it from there
- Focus on the positive changes – notice the positive changes regular self-care activities brought into your life to keep your motivation and commitment up
Keep in mind that you are the most important asset that you have and investing in yourself encourages self-love and self-worth.

Great ideas and product choices. Fall / autumn is definitely a time to brush up self care after a long, hot summer, followed by the back-to-school grind, and just before the rush of the holiday season. The season itself is a soul-warming season, but add in self care and sel rejuvenation and you’ll be ready for the hustle bustle of Thanksgving and Christmas. Love these ideas and products you shared.
