🌿 Nature Baths for the Urban Woman: How to Rewild Your Routine

Picture this: it’s Sunday morning, your phone is finally face down, and for once… it stays that way. You take a deep breath, feel the air move through your chest, and hear birds you hadn’t noticed in weeks. This is what it means to step back into nature—even if you live in the middle of a city.

Hey love, it’s me—think of me like your big sister gently nudging you off the couch and outside. Today, let’s talk about nature baths (also known as shinrin-yoku), why they’re not just for people with forest cabins, and how you—yes, city girl you—can weave this calming, soul-cleansing ritual into your everyday life.

Because let’s be real: life in the city can feel like living in a browser with 47 tabs open. And sometimes, the softest, most rebellious thing you can do… is close them all and step into the quiet.

There is a joke I like to say, "You only live once, unless you're a frog they croak daily." So what does that mean you ask? That means it's your life, no one else can live it for you, so why not live it as full as you can. Some people will have opinions on how you live, so let's talk about how to not let people get to you.

One thing I want you to know is that your path is going to be different from everyone's. Since you were born, you have been on a mission. There are going to be things that will happen but it's all a part of your journey. Yes there will be people that will go through similar things but this is your path.

December of last year I made the decision to loc up my hair. I just felt I needed a change and I've always appreciated the beauty of locs but of course, I let fear take over. What if I get bored? What if I look ugly? It’s the same fear that prevented me from going natural but I took the plunge and unlocked something so beautiful within myself.

I started my journey with two-strand twists on January 8th, 2020. It was the easiest style for me. Yes, I did them myself, after doing some much-needed research on Youtube. Everyone told me that I should see a pro to start my locs. But something about this journey felt personal, spiritual even. I will be the first to tell you that I’m not good with hair. But I did them. They are not perfect but they are me.

I know, I know, it has been a while since putting up a post. I've been putting some more focus on my clients and my health coaching business. But one thing that hasn't change is me taking time for some self-care. Self-care doesn't have to be a full blast Spa day, complete with a hot stone massage, facial, deep tissue…..what was I talking about again lol. But yeah those of us on a budget have to transform our homes into a spa. I loooove skin care products, especially all natural gems. Taking time to take care of your skin is definitely a form of self-care. My girl form GorjusWhips sent me some two jars of whipped shea moisture body butter from her all natural collection and I'm absolutely in love.
