Cleanse, Not Strip: Create Your Own Gentle DIY Cleansing Oil


Say goodbye to harsh cleansers — this DIY cleansing oil blend dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while nourishing your skin’s natural barrier. Made with simple oils and an emulsifier, it rinses off clean and leaves skin soft, hydrated, and ready to glow

Skip the store-bought sprays — this easy homemade dry shampoo recipe uses pantry staples to absorb oil, refresh roots, and add volume between washes. It’s gentle, customizable to your hair type and color, and is perfect for busy mornings, travel, or when you just want a quick refresh.

Small habits — like tidying as you go, batching tasks, and letting go of excess — can quietly transform how you live. These 27 minimalist practices help you declutter your space, free up mental energy, and make room for what truly matters: calm, clarity, and intention.

Start your day with a nourishing breakfast bowl — oats, berries, almond butter, flax and a dash of sea salt — to gently fuel your body without spiking stress hormones. This simple “cortisol-soothing” breakfast helps stabilize energy, support adrenal balance, and set a calmer tone for your whole day.

✨ Final Glow

Here’s to caring for yourself in ways that feel doable, natural, and truly supportive. May these small rituals — a nourishing cleanse, a refreshed root, a simplified space, and a balanced morning — remind you that beauty begins with ease. Until next time, keep glowing with intention.
