Hey Queens! 🌿✨
May is here, and you know what that means — it's time to bloom from the inside out. As we transition deeper into spring, this is the perfect moment to pause, reset, and pour back into ourselves.
For us melanin-rich beauties over 50, wellness is more than green smoothies and gym time — it's about nourishing mind, body, and soul in ways that feel good and realistic. So today, I’m sharing trending wellness practices for May that are all about refreshing your glow, reclaiming your peace, and staying vibrant.
🌼 1. The Morning “Mind-Body Reset” Ritual
Forget rushed mornings. This May, the wellness world is loving slow, intentional morning routines that set a peaceful tone for the day.
Your Simple Reset:
-
Stretch for 5 minutes (bedside stretches count, sis)
-
Sip warm lemon water before coffee
-
Practice 3 minutes of gratitude journaling
Trina’s Tip: This small ritual clears mental fog and boosts mood — perfect for those of us balancing family, careers, and self-care.
💧 2. Hydration with a Twist: Infused Wellness Waters
Plain water is getting a glow-up. Infused waters with ingredients like cucumber, mint, ginger, and berries are trending for their refreshing taste and health benefits.
Why You’ll Love It: Supports digestion, reduces bloating, and keeps your skin looking juicy and hydrated.
LTK Pick:
-
Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Bottle – keeps your wellness water cold all day.
🧘🏾♀️ 3. Joyful Movement, Not Just Exercise
May is all about moving in ways that bring joy. Think: walking in nature, dance breaks, or gentle yoga. Movement that feels like fun, not punishment.
Trending: “Feel-good” workouts like Tai Chi, low-impact Pilates, and Afrobeat dance classes.
LTK Pick:
-
Alo Yoga Warrior Mat – cushy, supportive, and made for joints that need TLC.
🌿 4. Mindful Tech Detox Hours
The constant scrolling can drain our energy. Wellness experts are promoting daily digital detox hours — intentional breaks from phones and screens to reconnect with yourself and loved ones.
Challenge Yourself: One hour before bed = No social media. Read, meditate, or enjoy a cup of herbal tea instead.
LTK Pick:
-
Vitruvi Stone Diffuser + Lavender Essential Oil – set the mood for a calming, tech-free evening.
🌞 5. Vitamin D & Outdoor Grounding
Spending time in nature is medicine for the soul. Grounding (aka walking barefoot on grass) is trending for its calming effects and ability to reduce stress.
Trina’s Tip: Just 10-15 minutes of sunlight and fresh air can boost your mood, lower blood pressure, and energize your spirit.
LTK Pick:
-
Teva Universal Trail Sandals – supportive and perfect for outdoor strolls.
🧖🏽♀️ 6. At-Home Spa Moments for Stress Relief
Luxury starts at home, sis. Weekly self-care rituals like facial steaming, DIY sugar scrubs, and calming bath soaks are trending to melt away stress.
LTK Pick:
-
Herbivore Botanicals Calm Bath Soak – a lavender dream in a jar.
🌸 Final Word:
Wellness isn’t about perfection, Queen — it’s about small, loving choices that honor your body, mind, and spirit. This May, give yourself permission to reset, refresh, and reclaim your glow in ways that feel nourishing to YOU.
Because when you feel good, you look good. And when you look good, you show up as your best, most vibrant self.
