When the clocks roll back, it’s more than just gaining an hour of sleep—it’s your cue for a seasonal reset, sis. Let’s turn this time change into a moment of self-care that helps you fall back but move forward in your wellness.
Daylight Savings Wind-Down Routine
As the days get shorter, our bodies crave more rest. Use this time to create a calming bedtime ritual:
- Dim your lights early.
- Put your phone down 30 minutes before bed.
- Sip a soothing herbal tea and stretch your body.
This helps your mind slow down and signals your body it’s time for deep rest—not just a nap.
Overnight Glow-Up: Sleep + Skincare Combo
Cooler nights can mean drier air, and that’s no friend to glowing melanin. Before you drift off:
Apply a mineral-rich sleep mask (try Sephora’s Mineral Sleep Mask for a hydrating boost).
Run a cool-mist humidifier (like this one from Amazon) to keep your skin and sinuses happy.
Slip your head onto a satin pillowcase (available at Walmart)—because “Black don’t crack,” but sis, satin helps it stay that way.
Sunday Supper: One-Pot Turkey & Greens Soup
A comforting bowl that feeds your soul and supports your heart health:
Ingredients:
-
1 lb lean ground turkey

1 onion + 2 cloves garlic, minced
