Summer Self-Care That Feels Like a Treat (Not a To-Do List)

Written By Jennifer Hohn

Summer is here—and while it brings sunshine, pool days, and maybe a little travel fun, it can also throw off our routines. We stay up later, skip our water bottles, forget the sunscreen… and suddenly, our bodies and minds are running on empty.

So let’s take a different approach this season. One that puts you back on the list. Because taking care of yourself doesn’t need to be a full spa weekend (though we’d never say no to that!). It can start with small, intentional things that feel good and help you feel like you again.

Here are a few ways to care for your skin, your mind, and your energy—plus a few of our favorite summer picks:

🌼 Start with a Self-Care Reset

Carve out 5–10 minutes in the morning or evening to check in with yourself. How are you really feeling? What do you need today?

✨ Try This:
Magic in Me Affirmation Journal — A gentle space for reflecting, setting intentions, and writing what matters.
Inspiricolor Tumblers — Hydration, but cute. Keep your drinks cool while you take care of everything else.
Tranquil Blossoms Essential Oils — A few drops of lavender or citrus can shift your whole mood.

💧 Stay Hydrated + Hydrated Skin = Summer Glow

Between sunshine, sweat, and travel, your skin and body need some extra TLC.

🧴 Amazon Skincare Kits We Love:

Pair these with a wide-brim hat and a big glass of water, and you’re basically glowing.

🎒 Travel Light, Travel Smart

Whether you're heading to the beach, the mountains, or just the grocery store with your kids in tow—keeping things organized helps everything feel easier.

✨ Try This:
Inspiricolor Tote Bags — Spacious enough for your skincare, journal, sunscreen, snacks, and maybe a secret snack for yourself.
Travel Memories Kit — Coming soon! A printable keepsake for journaling and photo memories from your adventures.

The Takeaway

You don’t have to do everything to take care of yourself—you just need to do something. Self-care in the summer is about listening to your body, giving yourself grace, and remembering that the smallest habits can add up to big shifts.

So drink that water. Take the journal outside. Wear the sunscreen. And if all else fails—wrap yourself in a fluffy towel, sip something chilled, and start fresh tomorrow.
