Let’s be real, self-care isn’t always a full spa day (even though we love those). Sometimes, it’s a 10-minute shower with no interruptions. Sometimes, it’s sitting in the car after work with your favorite playlist before going inside to start “part two” of your day.

I’ve learned that self-care is made up of micro moments, the quiet pauses we create between all the roles we play: boss, mom, partner, friend, daughter, dreamer.

So, from one woman who’s learning to give herself grace to another who probably needs the same reminder: Here are five self-care ideas that don’t require a plane ticket or an open calendar — just the willingness to choose yourself for a few sacred moments a day.

1️⃣ A Glass of HER Wine, Because You Deserve to Pour Into You 🍷

After a long, rewarding day, the kind where your brain doesn’t stop but your body begs for rest I love pouring a glass of HER Wine. It’s my moment of release.

Every sip feels like exhaling. Like saying, “I did enough today.”

HER Wine is created by women, for women, as a reminder that self-care can be simple and sacred. I love:

Mama Needs a Break — my go-to when I finally sit down after juggling life all day.
Finally After 5 — the perfect companion for those “I made it through” moments.

Shop HER Wine — the self-care wine made for women like you.

2️⃣ A Guilt-Free “Do Nothing” Evening

Sometimes self-care is doing absolutely nothing. No dishes. No work emails. No multitasking.

Give yourself or a woman you love an evening that’s completely hers. Pour a glass of HER Wine, light a candle, put your phone on silent, and just… be.

Because rest isn’t a reward ...it’s a right.

3️⃣ A Journal for Reflection and Reconnection

I started journaling again this year ... not to set goals, but to get honest with myself. To ask, “What do I need?” instead of “What do they need from me?”

Even if it’s just five minutes, writing helps me find peace in the chaos. Sometimes, I write with a glass of HER Wine nearby. It reminds me to slow down, breathe, and celebrate where I am, even if it’s not perfect.

4️⃣ A Moment of Connection

One thing I’ve learned: self-care isn’t always a solitary activity. Sometimes, it’s laughter with girlfriends who remind you who you are outside of titles and to-do lists.

So plan a brunch, a wine night, or even a FaceTime call that ends in giggles and refill requests. Because joy is medicine and we heal best in community.

5️⃣ A Moment That Gives Back

My favorite part about HER Wine? Every bottle directly supports I Will Survive, helping women fighting breast cancer pay for rent, medical bills, and essentials.

So when I gift HER Wine, I know it’s more than a bottle — it’s a lifeline. A reminder that even in the toughest seasons, women continue to pour into one another.

Final Sip

Self-care doesn’t have to be grand it just has to be intentional.

It’s the cup of coffee before the world wakes up. The deep breath before answering “Mom!” for the hundredth time. The glass of Finally After 5 when you need to feel seen and celebrated, even if it’s just by you.

Here’s your reminder: you deserve to rest. You deserve to celebrate yourself.And you deserve to do it without guilt, because you’re HER. 💕
