Mid-November Reset: How to Prioritize Self-Care Before the Family Gatherings Begin

As mid-November rolls in, it brings with it the anticipation (and sometimes stress) of upcoming family gatherings. Whether you're hosting or attending, this time of year often feels like a whirlwind. That’s why mid-November is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and prioritize self-care to stay grounded and calm before the busy weeks ahead.

Here’s how you can take a mid-November reset and ensure you’re at your best for the season of togetherness.

1. Declutter Your Space for Mental Clarity

A clutter-free environment can work wonders for your mind. Spend a few minutes tidying up your space, and then reward yourself with a sensory treat. Lighting a wax melt can instantly transform your room into a sanctuary of calm. Try my Home Sweet Home Wax Melts for a cozy, soothing scent or the Gingerbread Wax Melts  - which have been our best seller to date.

Quick Tip: Play calming music or a relaxing podcast while you tidy to make the process enjoyable.

2. Reflect on the Season with Journaling

Mid-November is a great time to pause and reflect before the year’s final stretch. Journaling for just 10 minutes can help you clarify your goals and center your thoughts. Here’s a simple prompt to get started:"What small joys am I looking forward to during family gatherings, and how can I stay calm and present?"

Pair this moment of mindfulness with a relaxing cup of iced coffee in one of the Libbey Glass Cans, designed to make even the smallest rituals feel special.

3. Warm Up Your Routine with Comforting Rituals

The chilly days of November are perfect for leaning into warmth and comfort. Indulge in a restorative bath with our Bloom & Soak Sets, infused with nourishing ingredients and relaxing scents to ease tired muscles and minds.

If you’re short on time, our Stress Relief Shower Steamers, made with 100% essential oils like lavender and eucalyptus, are the perfect way to transform a quick shower into a calming escape. Let the soothing steam wash away tension and leave you feeling refreshed.

4. Prepare for Family Gatherings with Self-Care

Family gatherings can be joyful but also a little overwhelming. Taking time to prioritize self-care now will help you navigate them with ease. Here’s how:

• Schedule Moments of Calm: Even on the busiest days, carve out 10-15 minutes for yourself. Whether it’s lighting a candle and reading a book or enjoying a short walk outside, these small moments can help you recharge.

• Set the Mood at Home: Create a relaxing atmosphere for yourself (and your family) with our Seasonal Wax Melts. Scents like cinnamon, clove, or vanilla can make your space feel warm and inviting for everyone.

• Unwind Together: If you have little ones, involve them in self-care rituals like lighting a wax warmer together or enjoying a warm drink as a family.
