Some days you do not need a big change. You just need a small moment that feels like yours again.

That is what self care means to me. Not perfection. Not a brand new version of you. Just a soft return. A reset. A reminder that you are allowed to begin again.

Anthony and I built Love Square One around that idea because life can be heavy. And if you are anything like me, you can carry a lot before you realize you are running on empty.

So this is your gentle nudge. You do not have to wait until everything is done to take care of yourself.

The magic of new beginnings one moment at a time.

What self care really looks like in real life

Self care is not always a big routine. Sometimes it looks like lighting a candle while dinner simmers because you want the room to feel calmer. Sometimes it is turning the lights down earlier than usual. Sometimes it is one deep breath before you answer a text. Sometimes it is writing it out so it stops living in your chest.

Small rituals matter because they create a boundary between the chaos and the calm. Even if the calm only lasts ten minutes, those ten minutes count.

At its heart, Love Square One is about slowing down and making everyday moments feel sacred. Whether it is lighting a candle after work, savoring a quiet glass of wine, or simply breathing deep while dinner simmers, these small rituals matter.

Why scent can feel so healing

There is something honest about scent. You cannot fake how it makes you feel.

A familiar fragrance can help your brain slow down and your body unclench. It can make your home feel safe again. It can turn an ordinary night into a soft landing.

That is why our Self Care and Wellness collection exists. Not because you need more stuff. Because you deserve a few tools that help you feel more like yourself.

A simple self care ritual you can do tonight

If you want an easy place to start, try this.

1. Put your phone down for a few minutes.

2. Light a candle and watch the flame for three slow breaths.

3. Notice what you are feeling. No judgment. Just honesty.

4. Choose one intention for the rest of your night. Peace. Rest. Calm. Gratitude.

5. Let that be enough.

If you love a quick reset, keep a matching room spray nearby and mist your entryway, your pillows, or your bathroom. It takes ten seconds, but it can change the whole mood of your space.

If you want steady comfort in the background, a diffuser is perfect for keeping that calm feeling going while you cook, clean, work, or rest.

And if you are the type who loves switching scents often, wax melts are a sweet way to refresh the room without overthinking it.

The three self care fragrances we reach for most

Amore

Amore is our engagement party fragrance. The one Anthony and I made together, and the one we still light after a long day or a busy event day.

It smells like a day at the spa, but it feels like home. Sea salt and cashmere wraps the room in clean comfort, like fresh air and warm linens. This is the one we choose when we want our shoulders to drop and our minds to quiet down.

Try it as a candle for your wind down routine, then pair it with the room spray for a quick refresh on sheets and pillows.

Honey Bee

Honey Bee is a bright reset. Bright cherry citrus kissed with sweet honey. It is the scent that feels like opening the blinds and letting the light back in.

This is the one you light when you want a fresh start. When you want your space to feel happy, clear, and full of possibility. If you are building a morning routine, Honey Bee is a beautiful place to begin.

Try it as wax melts for daytime energy, or keep it as a room spray for that instant clean, uplifting vibe.

Moon Dust

Moon Dust is our calming favorite. Cedarwood and leather, warm and grounded, like an exhale at the end of the day.

It is the candle for slow evenings, soft music, reading on the couch, and letting your nervous system come down from the day. If you want your home to feel like a safe place to land, Moon Dust does that.

Try it as a candle at night, then keep the diffuser going for that steady comfort without thinking about it.

Self care gifts that feel small, but mean everything

Sometimes the most helpful self care tools are not loud. They are quiet.

A Love Worry Stone in your pocket for the anxious hands and the busy mind. Something to hold when you need grounding.

A candle coaster that turns lighting a candle into a little ceremony. A reminder that this moment matters.

Candle accessories like a wick trimmer or snuffer that keep your burn clean and intentional. Tiny details, but they change the experience.

And honestly, even a feather pen, because sometimes self care is writing it out. Journaling. Gratitude lists. Love notes. The messy honest pages that no one else sees.

If you needed a reminder today

You do not have to earn rest.
You do not have to wait for life to get easier.
You are allowed to take care of yourself now.

If all you can do today is light a candle, mist the room, and take one deep breath, I promise that counts.

When you are ready, we will meet you right here at Love Square One. Back at the beginning. Back at your breath. Back at you.
