When screens follow you everywhere, the mind scatters and it becomes harder to feel truly present.

This clarifying botanical bath soak was created as a simple, screen-free pause: a fresh, plant-based ritual to step out of digital noise, reconnect with your senses, and let your nervous system soften back into the moment.

When screens overload me, it’s not about willpower, it’s my body stuck on high alert.

In this article, I share how I use essential oils to create a small, screen-free refuge: petitgrain to come down after notifications, hinoki for a forest bath feeling, frankincense serrata to clear mental fog, ravintsara for clean, functional clarity, and amyris as my evening landing zone when I finally step away from the screen.
