Your Self Care Tonic Menu ✨
Week 15: April 7 – 13
Welcome to a fresh new week, lovely one 🤍
This is your gentle reminder to slow down, come back to yourself, and nourish your body and mind in the most elegant, intentional ways. This week’s tonics are designed to be calming, grounding, and filled with soft beauty — perfect for transitioning into a new season with grace.
Select up to 5 from the menu below, and let them be your sacred little pauses throughout the week.
💆♀️ Gua Sha Ritual for Face & Neck – 10 mins
This quick but powerful beauty ritual releases tension, supports lymphatic flow, and promotes a natural glow.
How to:
Start with clean skin and apply a facial oil or serum.
Use your gua sha tool to gently sweep across your jawline, cheekbones, brow area, and neck.
Move in slow, upward motions, staying present with each stroke.
Finish with a few grounding breaths and a cool splash of water.
🍫 Cacao Ceremony – 15 mins
A heart-opening ritual that invites warmth, emotional presence, and grounded energy. This tonic is perfect for mornings, journaling sessions, or as a gentle afternoon reset.
How to:
Brew a warm cup of ceremonial cacao using this simple recipe:
2 tbsp cacao powder (ceremonial-grade preferred)
1 cup warm milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or macadamia)
1 tsp maple syrup or coconut sugar, to taste
Optional: Add a scoop of collagen for skin and joint support
Optional: Add a pinch of medicinal mushroom powder for extra grounding benefits — try blends like
Shoku Iku or Kissed Earth’s Magic 8
Whisk gently and pour into your favourite mug.
Find a quiet, cosy space to sip slowly — no distractions, just you and your breath.
Reflect, journal, or simply sit with your intention:
“What is my heart holding today?”
“What do I want to welcome in?”
This practice is a beautiful way to slow down and return to your inner wisdom.
💨 Nervous System Reset Breathwork – 15 mins
A calming breath practice to bring your body out of stress mode and into a state of deep rest.
How to:
Sit or lie down somewhere comfortable.
Try this pattern: Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale slowly for 6–8 seconds.
Repeat for 10–15 minutes.
Let the breath gently guide you back into your body.
🛏️ Silk Pillowcase & Linen Refresh – 20 mins
Small touches of softness can completely shift the energy of your sleep space.
How to:
Swap out your current pillowcase for a silk or satin one to support your skin and hair.
Refresh your sheets, fluff your pillows, and lightly mist your linen with a calming spray.
Add a flower, crystal, or calming scent to your nightstand.
Set a bedtime intention: “I deserve to rest deeply and wake feeling renewed.”
🕯️ Candlelit Yin Stretch – 20 mins
A gentle stretch session to release tension and create softness in the body before bed.
How to:
Light a candle and dim the lights.
Move through long, slow holds like child’s pose, butterfly, or reclined spinal twists.
Stay in each pose for 2–3 minutes, letting the body melt deeper with each breath.
End with a few minutes in legs-up-the-wall or savasana.
Each of these practices is a love letter to your nervous system and your future self. Choose what feels right, and allow the ritual to become the reward.
Enjoy,
Jacinta xoxo
