As the days get longer and nature bursts back into life, May offers a perfect opportunity to shake off the heaviness of winter and reawaken your self-care practice. At Fig Wellbeing, we believe that self-care should be intentional, sustainable, and deeply nurturing — not just something you squeeze into your schedule, but a way of life.
Here are five simple but powerful ways to refresh your wellness routine this spring:
1. Declutter Your Mind and Space
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home — it’s for your mind too. Take a few minutes each day to journal, meditate, or even just sit in stillness. Creating a calm environment supports mental clarity and emotional balance. Try lighting one of our sustainable candles with calming essential oils to create a soothing atmosphere during your mindfulness practice.
Try: Fig Wellbeing Eco Soy Wax Candles – Made with clean ingredients and calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus.
2. Refresh Your Skincare Rituals
Warmer weather and more sun exposure can mean your skin needs extra attention. Incorporate dry brushing into your morning routine to exfoliate, stimulate circulation, and support lymphatic drainage — leaving your skin radiant and refreshed.
How to Dry Brush: Use upward, sweeping strokes on dry skin before showering. Always brush toward your heart. Be sure to check out our comprehensive guide on dry brushing.

3. Reconnect with Movement
Whether it's yoga, walking in nature, or gentle stretching at home, movement re-energises both body and mind. Set aside 20 minutes a day to move intentionally. If you're practicing yoga, consider upgrading your space with sustainable accessories that feel as good as they look.

4. Simplify Your Beauty Routine
Your skin thrives on simplicity. Transition to natural, minimal skincare that focuses on hydration and protection. Spring is also a great time to pare down your routine and focus on ingredients that nourish deeply.
Pro Tip: Use lightweight oils or serums in place of heavy creams, and don’t forget SPF.
5. Savour Slow Moments
Spring invites us to slow down and enjoy life’s little joys — birdsong in the morning, a warm herbal tea in the garden, or time spent offline. These “slow” moments are essential for nervous system regulation and long-term wellbeing.
Create a Ritual: Brew a cup of calming herbal tea, light a candle, and try practicing 5 minutes of breathwork.
Spring is nature’s way of starting over. Let this season inspire your own gentle reset — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With small, consistent rituals and eco-conscious choices, you can create a self-care practice that not only supports you, but the planet too.
