Have you tried any of these 5 unusual self-care activities lately?! 😮👇

We gathered together a few slightly different ideas that you may want to try...

📚 Re-read your favourite books 👉 There's definitely a certain comfort in reading a book that's already familiar, especially one from your childhood or teenage years that you really loved.

🛌 Change the sheets 👉 There's nothing more refreshing than fresh sheets! Strip away the old and replace them with something new - a good physical act to help reset your mental mood.

🧼 Wash your feet 👉 Taking care of your feet can be really comforting. If you have a foot spa use it, walk along the beach in the sea, or just soak them in the bath. Give them a massage, exfoliate, moisturise, and pamper those toes 😍😄

🕹️ Indulge in nostalgia 👉 Nostalgia is scientifically proven to help make us happier, so try watching your favourite TV program or movie from when you were a kid, playing your favourite video game, rereading your favourite childhood books or comics, or browsing through old photographs.

🤍 Chill out to white noise 👉 White noise can be especially beneficial for relaxation and sleep. Take some time to just relax with the sounds of bird song, rainfall or the exhilarating rush of a waterfall.

We feel more relaxed already 🧘

Research has proven that certain fragrances can make us happier, and we couldn't be happier about this news 😀😄

It is scientifically proven that scented candles play an essential role in the physiological effects of mood, stress, working capacity, and overall mental health.

Research has shown that certain fragrances can trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals that are responsible for producing feelings of happiness, euphoria, and pain relief.

Scents can benefit us in a number of ways 👇

✨ Improved mood
✨ Reduced stress and anxiety
✨ Better night's sleep
✨ Increased sense of relaxation and calm

*Immediately lighting all scented candles* 👀😄

Anyone want to know what Ernest Sol means and how it's related to the Roman Gods....? 👀👇

Ernest Sol may sound like a name, and it is to a degree.

Sol is the name of the Roman god personifying the sun. Put together, Ernest Sol refers to the light of a candle being similar to a small (earnest, we just changed the spelling a bit) sun ☀️

We decided to create Ernest Sol because we wanted to build a company that would help people and raise everyone's morale a little bit 🤗

We've all experienced some tough times over the past few years, which put self-care on the back burner for a lot of people.

Now we want to help boost self-care again, and encourage everyone to spend more time looking after themselves, even if it's just something as simple as lighting a candle 🕯️😌

3 reasons why we have a serious candle addiction 🕯️😍 👇

1. They smell good 👉 we've got no time for unscented candles, we only burn the ones that make our home smell delightful 👌😄

2. They look good 👉 when you enter a room filled with candles, it always looks great - it's the perfect treat for ourselves or our partner 🤗

3. They feel good 👉 a warm bubble bath... the scent of relaxing lavender in the air... the room a-glow with the light of at least 50 candles... it's magical ✨😄

Those are the only reasons we need 🙏

Today we wanted to share 6 scientifically proven benefits of reading 📖👇

📚 Increases Intelligence 👉 Exposure to vocabulary through reading when we're children is proven to lead to higher scores on reading tests, and higher scores on general intelligence tests too.

📚 Boosts Brainpower 👉 Reading regularly improves memory function by giving your brain a good workout. With age comes a decline in memory and brain function, but reading may help slow the process, keeping minds sharper longer.

📚 Makes You More Empathetic 👉 Literary fiction, specifically, has the power to help readers understand what others are thinking by reading other people's emotions.

📚 Reduces Risk of Alzheimer's 👉 Those who engage their brains through activities such as reading, chess, or puzzles could be 2.5 times less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who spend their downtime on less stimulating activities.

📚 Helps You Relax 👉 Perhaps our favourite reason of them all 😌 research suggests that reading can work as a serious stress-buster, reducing stress by as much as 68%!

📚 Improves Sleep 👉 Reading a physical book before bed helps you relax more than zoning out in front of a screen.

📚 Increases Your Life Span 👉 Printed books can actually help you live longer - people who read books (as opposed to other content) show a 20% reduced risk of death.

We don't know about you, but we don't need any more great reasons to pick up a book today 🤓😄
