How to Stay Grounded During Big Life Moves: My Clean Skincare & Gut Health Rituals

When Life Moves, You Move With It

They say change is as good as a holiday. But I’m here to tell you that moving in the middle of winter, with the heavens raining down like a waterfall, tests even the most seasoned of change-makers.

And yet… here I am. Moved. Grounded. And gratefully still Glowing.

This past week, I experienced the full-force shake-up of relocating our business operations – all while staying calm, healthy, and strangely inspired. In the past, moves like this would flatten me: I’d collapse from stress, get sick, and spend weeks in bed with chronic fatigue. But this time was different. Why?

I chose radical self-care.

My Morning Self-Care Ritual (No Matter What’s Going On)

Change hits differently when your body and mind are nourished. Here’s what helped me stay calm, resilient, and clear-headed – even while lugging boxes in the rain.

1. Deep Breathing + Movement
Before the chaos began each day, I took just 20 minutes to re-oxygenate my cells and move my body. Whether it was a short yoga flow, bouncing on my rebounder, or a brisk walk—it rewired my nervous system for calm and confidence.

2. Gut Health Support with Good Gut Glow
I swear by our Good Gut Glow Superfood Shake. A calm gut = a calm mind. By feeding my second brain with probiotics, prebiotics, and adaptogenic superfoods, I kept stress from spiralling. It’s a non-negotiable in my toolkit for emotional resilience.

3. Clean Skincare Ritual
Even when the monumental task of moving was looming, I never skipped my skincare. It’s my daily grounding practice and my happy space of choosing me:

  • Cleanse: Natural Face Wash – Gentle yet effective, and keeps my skin barrier thriving
  • Exfoliate: Ecofoliant Skin Polish – Goodbye toxins, hello glow
  • Hydrate: Superfood Face Serum + Rejuvenate Canna Balm – Deep, rich nourishment for winter skin that needs love and care

My All Day Mindset Reset: Channel 1

Here’s a truth bomb: staying calm in chaos is a choice.
Every hour, I returned to my inner Channel One – the mental frequency of trust, ease, and flow. Yes, I could have spiralled into inner turmoil and chaos. But instead, I paused. I breathed. I chose again. And that made all the difference.

Evening Rituals to Decompress and Restore

At night, it was time to melt the stress away.

1. Hydrating Masque + Bath Therapy
Candles. Music. A long soak. And my favourite Hydrating Masque. I wore it like a second skin while I exhaled the day into the bathwater. Total nervous system reset.

2. Double-Diva Glow
Post-bath, I layered Superfood Face Serum and Ultimate Face Cream. The duo left my skin juicy, hydrated, and so soft — a sensory ritual of kindness to end the day.

Change as a Catalyst

Moving is never just about logistics. It’s a reckoning with the old… and a sacred opening to the new.

This time, I didn’t choose fear or fatigue.
I chose vitality. Trust. Flow. And that has made all the difference.

If you’re navigating a season of change — a new home, a new phase, or just an emotional shift — self-care is your superpower. I hope my rituals offer a little spark for your own.

I’d love to hear your stories of change and how you stayed steady. Let’s connect in the comments or over on Instagram.

With love,
Nicole
