Rose + Chamomile Steadying Soak A Small Sweet Thing from The Sweet Between Estimated time: 10–15 minutes

Written By Maya Carter

Make It
Some days, your spirit doesn’t need fixing — it just needs steadying.
This soak is a reminder to slow down, return to yourself, and hold your own heart with care.

You’ll Need:

  • A small handful of dried rose petals (or a rose tea bag)

  • 1 chamomile tea bag or 1 tbsp dried chamomile

  • 1–2 tbsp Epsom salt (optional for body tension)

  • A bowl of warm water (for hand or foot soak — or pour it into a bath)

  • Optional: a few drops of sweet almond or lavender oil

How To:

  1. Add the rose petals, chamomile, and Epsom salt to warm water.

  2. Swirl gently. Let the scent rise. Let your shoulders drop.

  3. Soak your hands or feet for 10–15 minutes. Close your eyes.

  4. Breathe in softness. Exhale everything else.

Soft Prompt:
What do I need to steady — not solve — today?
Name it. Bless it. Let it be.

Optional Blessing:
“I do not need to rush. I do not need to perform. I am safe to soften.”
