Simple Self-Care Rituals to Recharge Your Mind & Body, Even on the Busiest Days

More and more women are looking for natural, Australian-made self-care products they can enjoy at home, from relaxing bath rituals to eco-luxe skincare and wellness gifts. At Nerridah and Ross, we believe self-care should feel indulgent yet effortless. That’s why we’ve curated a premium range of bath and body essentials designed to turn ordinary routines into meaningful rituals.

Whether you have 5 minutes or 30, these simple self-care routines will help you relax, recharge, and reconnect with yourself, even on your busiest days.

1. 1.   Morning Self-Care Ritual with Al.ive Body Wash & Lotion

Perfect for: Setting a calm and focused tone for your day

Try this: Start your day with a luxurious lather using one of Al.ive Body’s Wash & Lotion Duos, Mango & Lychee or Green Pepper & Lotus are uplifting favourites. These beautiful sink-side staples are enriched with natural botanicals and mood-boosting aromas. Follow with the matching lotion to elevate even a quick morning shower into a spa-like experience.

Bonus: These eco-luxe sets are beautifully boxed and make perfect gifts for birthdays, promotions or “just because”.

2.      Midday Mindfulness Break with Bath Salts & Scented Soap

Perfect for: A breather between Zoom calls, errands, or creative blocks

Try this: Add a few tablespoons of The Soap Bar or Myles Gray Bath Salts to a foot soak basin. Their blend of essential oils and minerals will soothe tired muscles and re-energise your mind. If you’re time-poor, simply wash your hands with a nourishing soap bar from The Commonfolk or The Soap Bar, their uplifting scents offer an instant mood boost.

Gift Idea: Pair a bath soak and handmade soap with a calming herbal tea or a beautiful notebook for a thoughtful self-care gift set.

3.      Evening Self-Care Routine with Bath Salts & Soy Candles

Perfect for: Creating a peaceful buffer before bedtime

Try this: Run a warm bath with Myles Gray Bath Salts to help calm your nervous system and prepare your body for rest. Cleanse with Ecoya Hand & Body Wash, then hydrate with a matching Ecoya lotion. Scents like Lotus Flower or Sweet Pea & Jasmine are soft, floral, and soothing. Burn elume tealights or a mini soy candle to enhance the mood and quiet the senses.

Ritual Tip: Keep a book, journal, or calming playlist nearby. Turning off screens 30 minutes before bed helps support deeper, more restful sleep.

4.      Daily Hand Care Ritual with Glasshouse or Ecoya Hand Creams

Perfect for: Micro moments of calm during a busy day

Try this: Use Ecoya or Glasshouse Fragrances hand creams to bring small doses of fragrance and calm into your routine. Instead of a quick application, take 60 seconds to mindfully massage your hands, easing tension and reconnecting with your body.

Quick Win: Keep a hand cream at your desk, in your bag, or by your bedside as a daily reminder to slow down and breathe.

5.      Digital Detox Ritual for a Weekend Wind-Down

Perfect for: Reclaiming space from screens and overstimulation

Try this: Set your phone to Do Not Disturb and unplug for a full hour. Read a book, stretch, garden, or journal, whatever helps you return to yourself. Burn a mini soy candle in your favourite fragrance by Elume, Scarlet & Grace or Glasshouse Fragrances, sip something warm, and allow the noise of the day to gently fade.

Modern Must: Store your devices away and turn this into a weekly ritual that supports mental clarity and deep calm.
