September Self-Care: A Wellness Ritual for the New Season

September has arrived, bringing with it the first fresh breezes of autumn and a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with yourself. After a busy summer, this month is ideal for slowing down and dedicating some quality time to yourself. I want to share with you some of my favorite rituals to make September a month of pure self-care and well-being.

1. Meditation and Aromatherapy

Nothing beats starting or ending the day with a few minutes of meditation. Accompany this moment with a scented candle infused with pure essential oils that will help you calm your mind and deeply relax. This small ritual can transform your mood and prepare you for whatever lies ahead.

2. Enjoy your favorite tea or infusion

The fresh September air is the perfect excuse to enjoy a cup of your favorite tea or infusion. Take a moment, sit comfortably, and simply savor every sip. Those small pleasures are what truly connect us to the present.

I love spiced teas and infusions , and recently, I had the opportunity to discover a brand that I fell in love with not only for the quality of its products, but also for its history and its commitment to the environment.

Mundo Orballo is a Galician brand dedicated to the cultivation, processing, and marketing of infusions and tea . What makes Mundo Orballo special is its mission: to reclaim abandoned or contaminated land and transform it into spaces full of life and biodiversity. Since 2012, they have been cultivating aromatic plants in Donin, A Coruña, with the goal of revitalizing rural Galicia.

All their crops are 100% organic, without pesticides or herbicides , respecting nature as it exists. With this dedication, they create infusions that are not only delicious but also carry the authentic flavor of Galician soil.

If you're looking for a herbal tea to accompany your moments of calm, I recommend trying one of Mundo Orballo's varieties. I guarantee you'll enjoy every sip knowing you're supporting a project with such a noble purpose!

This is my favorite for this season ⬇️

3. Take time for yourself

This month, I invite you to treat yourself to just-me moments. Whether it's a warm bath, a face mask, or just some time to relax with some good music in the background, the important thing is to take the time to take care of yourself and pamper yourself.

4. Bake apples with cinnamon

What better way to welcome autumn than with the warm and inviting aroma of baked apples with cinnamon? Besides being a delicious snack and excellent anti-inflammatory, it will fill your home with that scent that reminds us of the crisp days of this season.

5. Decorate your home with an autumnal atmosphere

Transform your home into a haven of warmth by decorating it with autumnal touches: dried leaves, soft blankets, and, of course, our handmade candles. Creating a cozy atmosphere is not only pleasing to the eye, but also positively impacts your well-being.

6. Enjoy your favorite series

Take advantage of the cool evenings to unwind and relax with your favorite series. Wrap yourself in a blanket, light a candle, and allow yourself some pure entertainment. Unplugging is also a form of self-care.

7. Light a new candle

September is the perfect month to renew the energy of your home. And there's no better way to do it than with a new candle or our wax melts . These small but powerful "fragrant chocolates" are made with natural soy wax and aromatic oils, free of phthalates and other harmful toxins, designed to fill your space with cozy aromas that will help you relax and enjoy the autumn atmosphere.

Simply place them in a wax burner and let their fragrances envelop you. It's a simple and effective way to transform the atmosphere of your home, infusing tranquility and well-being in every corner.

My favorite for this season is cinnamon for its warm and spicy aroma, which creates a perfect atmosphere for those cooler days🤎

8. Journaling and reading time 

Set aside some time each day to write in your journal or read a good book. These moments of reflection and relaxation are essential for maintaining a balanced state of mind. Writing and reading are therapies for the soul.

9. Take a walk in nature

Last but not least, go for a walk and enjoy nature. The colors and fresh air of September are perfect for recharging your batteries and clearing your mind. Connecting with the earth is one of the simplest and most effective ways to take care of your well-being.

Which of these rituals are you going to try first? I'd love to know, so feel free to leave me a comment.
