The holiday season has so many great aromas that can put your mind at ease! We certainly love scents from September to January – from pumpkins, cranberries, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, apples, and more! The wonderful thing about these scents and foods are their healing properties. In creating a self-care regimen during this season, think about incorporating holiday-inspired fragrances to rejuvenate and replenish your mind, body, and spirit!
Don’t have a self-care regimen in place? It is time to create one! It only takes a few minutes to think about what you may enjoy during your hour, two hours, or multiple hours self-care moment! We suggest that you do something in this arena at least once a day. However, that is in a perfect world. At least once a week, you should intentionally set aside time and space for yourself – especially during this holiday season!
Here are a few holiday-inspired self-care picks from SwagHer Magazine:
SwagHer Pick: Osmia Organics Pumpkin Facial Soap and Collection
Pumpkin Spice Lattes, anyone? Allure Magazine featured several “Pumpkin” skincare products this Fall, highlighting the gourd’s healing properties and multi-use qualities. According to Healthline.com, Pumpkin is “…high in vitamin C, which is essential for healthy skin. Your body needs this vitamin to make collagen, a protein that keeps your skin strong and healthy”.
Osmia Organic created a pumpkin skincare collection featuring a soothing orange Pumpkin Facial Soap. This SwagHer Pick contains pumpkin and tomato enzymes to exfoliate, plus organic honey and camellia seed oil to soften. A fantastic cleanser suitable for everyday use or for that special “self-care” time!
SwagHer Pick: Philosophy’s “Cozy by the Fire” Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath
Who doesn’t like snuggling up to an open fire? Philosophy put this concept in a bottle with their “Cozy by the Fire” Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath. Layers of tropical jasmine and spicy red flowers create this limited-edition scent that gently cleanses and conditions from head to toe! Philosophy is one of the leading cleanser brands in the United States, with ultimate self-care in mind. This Holiday Inspired pick will surely get you in the mood for the season!
