You Don’t Need More Time for Self-Care
One thing I notice often in our community is this thought:
“I want to do DIY beauty and self-care… but I’m just too busy.”
Here’s a gentle reframe:
You don’t need more time.
You need one protected pocket.
For me, Friday night is my self-care pocket.Most weeks, I spend less than 15 minutes doing one small thing:
- mixing a lip gloss
- making a simple face cream
- applying a clay mask
- or simply resting with a familiar routine
Not perfect.Not aesthetic.Just consistent.
DIY beauty doesn’t need hours.
It works best as micro self-care - small, repeatable, and kind to real life.
If this resonates, start here, this is how to apply the Atomic Habits approach:
- Pick one day this week
- Set aside 15 minutes
- Make one simple product or do one calming ritual
That’s enough.
Small actions, done consistently, create the biggest shifts.
Slow. Simple. Sustainable.
What’s one 15-minute self-care or DIY beauty ritual you can commit to this coming week?

P.S.: I shared a deeper reflection on how I manage time, energy, and self-care using simple containers in my January Substack post.

P.P.S.: This Kissable Fruity Lip Gloss you see in the video was made during my Friday night self-care pocket in less than 15 minutes, no rush, just a simple rhythm. :)
