SELF CARE YOUR WAY WITH METTLE GIFT BOXES
This month, we were delighted to launch Find Your Mettle workshop that we will be delivering to around 100 deserving women in our community. This workshop is all about practicing self-care & acknowledging the immense value that we bring to the world.
Through this workshop, we we’re reminded of something so many of us forget when life gets busy: ourselves. At Mettle, we know that caring for ourselves is about small, intentional rituals that help us feel grounded, safe, and restored.
To celebrate, we sat down with Dani, one of our very first team members here at Mettle, to hear how she weaves self-care into her days.
“For me, self-care means creating small moments of calm and balance in the middle of a busy life as a single mum. It’s important because it gives me energy to care for my son and myself.”
“I think the Made by Mettle box is perfect because it has a candle, a room spray, a clay mask, and chocolate. These simple treats create a calm and cozy moment at home, helping me relax, recharge, and enjoy a little joy after a busy day.”
Here’s how Dani would use a Mettle Giftbox for selfcare:
Set the Mood
Start by creating a calming space. Light a candle, spritz your room with a calming lavender Mettle Room Spray, and let the soft scents signal to your body that it's time to relax. Small sensory cues like these make your environment feel more cosy and comforting, which does wonders for your emotional well-being.
Soak & Scrub
Run a warm bath and add Mettle’s handmade Soak & Scrub with lavender and neroli, perfect for calming the mind and easing tension. Let the water relax your muscles and slowly unwind. Follow it with a gentle body scrub to stimulate circulation and revitalise your skin.
Mask & Moisturise
Pamper your skin with Mettle’s yellow Australian clay face mask by mixing a small amount of clay powder with water and relax for fifteen minutes. Follow by nourishing your body with a slow massage with lotion, pay attention to how your body feels and close your eyes to soak in the moment.
“Start small, even just five minutes for yourself can shift your energy. Self-care doesn’t have to be big or perfect, I believe consistency matters more than time,” Dani shares.
Tea & Journalling
Close your session with a warm cup of Native Lemon Myrtle tea and take a few deep breaths to let your mind settle. Pick up your journal and jot down your gratitude, intentions, or reflections on the day.
“I love simple rituals like listening to my favorite podcast, taking a hot shower, or enjoying a cup of tea once my son is asleep. Those little pauses make a big difference,” Dani says.
Listening to Dani reminds us that self-care is less about perfection and more about intention. It’s about creating small rituals that help us breathe and reconnect.
At Mettle, our gift boxes are thoughtfully curated with all the essentials you need for that quick reset. They are designed to hold space for women to pause, nurture themselves, and feel restored. Explore our range of Australian made, ethical gift boxes and create your own ritual that leaves you feeling refreshed, restored, and ready to take on the world.
