✨ January DIY: Reset & Renew Detox Bath Soak

A simple, grounding self-care ritual to release stress, reset your energy, and start the year softly

January isn’t about rushing.

It’s about exhaling.

After the holidays, our bodies and minds carry more than we realize — stress, tension, overwhelm, and emotional residue from the year before. This Reset & Renew Detox Bath Soak is a gentle way to release what no longer serves you and step into the new year grounded, calm, and clear.

No complicated steps.

No expensive ingredients.

Just intentional rest.
