Self Care Ideas for a Creative Winter

Jan 20, 2025

As we move deeper into January, I’m finding it’s the perfect time to slow down, relax, and embrace the coziness of winter. With the holiday hustle behind us, this is our chance to hibernate a little, focus on self-care, and reconnect with our creative sides. At Bon Femmes, I’m all about making the most of these slower months, and I’ve got some ideas (and goodies!) to help us do just that.

Take Time to Reflect

I love starting my self-care journey with journaling to get to know myself better. The Evening Rituals Journal is the go-to for this. It’s thoughtfully designed to help us reflect on our days, set intentions, and create a calming bedtime routine. There’s something so grounding about putting pen to paper, and this journal makes it easy to turn reflection into a soothing ritual.

Get Creative in the Kitchen

When it’s too cold to go out, I like to try a new recipe at home. The cookbook For the Table is packed with inspiring, comforting recipes that are perfect for the season. Experimenting in the kitchen is a fun way to shake up my routine and treat myself to something delicious. Bonus: Cooking feels like a creative act, too, and it’s so rewarding.

Embrace New Ways to Relax

Sometimes, self-care means trying something that might make you blush (in the best way). The Squish Silicone Pleasure Toy is a versatile, body-safe option that's perfect for exploring what relaxation means to us. It’s discreet, easy to use, and made with comfort in mind—a great addition to anyone's self-care toolkit.

Light a Candle and Meditate

One of my favorite ways to unwind is by lighting a candle or some incense. Bon Femmes' selection of candles and incense helps me create a calming atmosphere. Whether I’m crafting, or curling up with a good book, the right scent always makes me feel more grounded and present.

Try Your Hand at a New Craft

Let’s get creative! I LOVE the Cake Lamp Kit, which is a fun way to make something unique for my home. For a more artistic vibe, the Watercolor Sketch Pad and Watercolor Pan are perfect for exploring painting. Hands-on activities like these are so therapeutic and a wonderful way to spark my imagination during these cozy winter months.
