How To Enhance Your Everyday Routine

Wondering how to practice mindfulness in the shower? A mindful shower involves focusing on the senses, starting with smell. There are many ways to use smell to enhance your daily shower or bath routine, and choosing the right soap or shower gel is a great place to start. 

If you want to feel uplifted and energised, opt for shower products with a citrus or tropical scent. Alternatively, woody and luxurious scents like sandalwood create the ultimate spa feeling.

You can also introduce relaxing aromas into your bathroom with diffusers and scented candles. Lighting a few candles before your evening bath or shower can create a soothing atmosphere, encouraging you to fully switch off and relax your mind and body. 

Whether you’re relaxing at the end of the day, waking up your mind and body in the morning or recovering after an intense workout, soft and luxurious towels and bathrobes are essential. 

There’s nothing better than stepping out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a super soft towel, so choose high-quality designs. For a hotel-inspired feel, you could create a tactile display of folded bath towels on open shelving.

Treat your taste buds to a nourishing snack before your shower routine. Milk, dark chocolate, and nuts all have calming effects, so consider enjoying one of these options before an evening bath or shower. 

Herbal teas are also an excellent way to wind down before bed – try chamomile or green tea for the perfect end to the day. If you need energy in the morning that will keep you going until lunch, try kicking things off with overnight oats with nuts and berries, wholewheat pancakes, or eggs, tomatoes and spinach.
