5 Small Ways To Create The Perfect Ambiance For Me Time

It's the little things that matter.

Life can be hectic so it's important to take time for yourself. But how do you maximize your me time? By creating a calming self-care ambiance that engages all of your senses, of course. From setting up your space to picking out the perfect WoodWick candle, here's how you can best do this:

1. Select the perfect space for your oasis

It's important to spend time designed for yourself by yourself. Settle down in a place — whether it be your bedroom or your favorite reading chair — that's away from other people, loud noises, and background activity. It'll make a world of difference.

2. Put on your favorite playlist

Check your mood and how you’re feeling, then put on the music that takes you where you want to be. Settle in and immerse yourself!

3. Dim the lighting to match the mood

If you do most things in full light, keeping it down a bit will help create separation between your everyday activities and your time spent relaxing. Try turning off the overhead lights and choosing a candle that you love. WoodWick crackling candles are a must-have for me time. With a slow burn and sensational aroma, your room will magically be made more luxurious.

4. Pick out an indulgent drink or snack

There’s nothing quite like taking a sip of a delectable beverage or biting into a scrumptious dessert. Take me time to the next level!

5. Gather all your nicest-looking things

Elevate your time alone by making sure the items you’re using are as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Drink out of a beautiful glass, choose a book with a nice cover, or break out your favorite journal and pen. The pretty things make a difference.

Make sure you take time for yourself this holiday season. And when you do, keep a candle from WoodWick's winter collection nearby for the ultimate self-care experience.
