Your self care tonic menu 4
Welcome to EMBODY week 4
This week’s Self Care Tonic Menu is here to inspire you with simple ideas across healthy habits, nutrition, hair/ body care and wellness routines. Think of it as your guide to creating a holistic approach to wellness—a way to recharge, reconnect, and embody your highest self.
Taking care of yourself isn’t just about physical fitness—it’s about nurturing your emotional, spiritual, energetic and mental well-being too. Feeling your best comes from creating small moments throughout your day that align with what makes you feel good.
These rituals work together to help you thrive so you can create your best self.
Here are the detailed steps for this week’s Self Care Tonic rituals:
🛀 Epsom Salt Bath
Benefits of an Epsom Salt bath include:
Improved sleep and focus.
Relief from stress and anxiety.
Eases pain, cramps and headaches.
Increases body Magnesium levels.
Prepare the Bath: Fill your tub with warm water and add 2 cups of Epsom salt. Optional: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (lavender for relaxation, eucalyptus for invigoration).
Set the Mood: Light candles, play soothing music, or dim the lights for a calming ambiance.
Soak and Relax: Immerse yourself in the bath, ensuring the water covers your body up to your shoulders. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing to fully unwind.
Stretch Gently: Use the warm water to loosen tight muscles. You can stretch your neck, shoulders, or legs while soaking.
Rinse and Moisturise: After your bath, rinse off with warm water and apply a hydrating lotion or body oil to lock in moisture.

🌿 A Nature Walk
Pick a Spot: Choose a park, trail, or quiet neighborhood that lets you connect with nature.
Stay Present: Leave your phone in your pocket (or on airplane mode) and focus on the sights, sounds, and smells around you. Take slow, mindful steps.
Engage Your Senses: Look at the colours of the trees, listen to birdsong, feel the ground beneath your feet, and take deep breaths of fresh air.
Reflect: Use this time to clear your mind or think about what you’re grateful for. You can bring a journal to jot down thoughts afterward.
🫧 Exfoliate Body & Face Mask
Prepare Your Skin: Wet your skin in the shower or bath to soften it before exfoliating.
Exfoliate Your Body: Use a body scrub, dry brush, or loofah to gently exfoliate in circular motions, starting from your feet and moving upward. This promotes circulation and removes dead skin.
Exfoliate Your Face: Apply a gentle exfoliating product to your face using small, circular motions. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially around delicate areas. Rinse thoroughly.
Apply a Face Mask: Choose a mask based on your skin's needs (hydrating, detoxifying, or brightening). Apply evenly, and leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse and Moisturise: Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and pat your face and body dry. Follow with a hydrating moisturiser or face oil for a glowing finish.
