This time of year can be really stressful, which is why it is so important to take time out for some self care for yourself. Self care is something that is unique to you but will ultimately help you to unwind and reset your body and mind. I thought I’d put together some ideas of self care to give you some inspiration of what you could do this month.

Before I get onto the list, I thought I’d share one of my favourite self care options I like to do during the festive season which is to make my home and car smell lovely. I try to light candles everyday so that the scent drifts around my home. In terms of making the car smell lovely, I like to use Christmas scented hanging air fresheners. In the past, I’ve found it difficult to find one that will last but this is where Carfume comes in.

Getting cozy under a blanket with a cup of coffee or tea and a great book is a great form of self care for me 🙂 thank you for the tips!
Thank you for the tips! I love getting cosy and just switching off with a book or a film! It’s so nice to just escape from the real world and distract yourself for a little while!
I have never heard of Carfume, but I love the idea! A nice scent makes any ride more enjoyable. I love to dance like no one is watching when I need to unwind. Tea and cookies is also perfect. 🙂
Dancing like no one is watching is the best.
These are lovely ideas! I love candles and csnt wait to light my new candles next week for the holidays… After that is take a nice hot shower and sipping on some tea. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great list and since I decided to make blogging my lifestyle (fingers crossed!) I am enjoying so much more time for many of these 🙂
Paint my nails, watch a film, hug a pet, get cozy under a blanket, and read a book with a cup of coffee would be so perfect for festive self-care 😀 Thank you for sharing these x

Carfume sounds incredible I love getting into my car when I have a new air freshener. I think I would love Gingerbread, I don’t think I would want to get out of my car!
