The September Reset: 5 Simple Hygge Rituals to Ease Into Autumn

September has always felt like the real new year to me. The air feels fresher, the evenings turn cosier, and I find myself craving slower rituals that bring balance back after the busyness of summer.

It’s the perfect time for a September reset – a gentle way of easing into autumn, setting intentions, and finding calm in the everyday. For me, hygge is at the heart of that.

Here are 5 simple hygge-inspired rituals you can bring into your September, to restore your energy and make the most of this beautiful season. 

1. Light a Candle as the Evenings Draw In 

There’s something about striking a match at dusk that feels like an exhale. A flickering flame changes the whole mood of a room; instantly making it feel calmer, warmer, more intentional. 

Choose natural candles with essential oils that support your mood: lavender to relax, citrus to uplift, or spiced blends to welcome autumn - pssst our Pumpkin Spice candle is now back in stock for the season!

2. Create a Seasonal Skincare Ritual 

As the weather shifts, so does our skin. September is the perfect time to switch from lighter lotions to more nourishing body butters and balms.

Taking a few minutes each evening to massage in a rich, natural body butter isn’t just skincare, it’s a hygge moment of care for yourself.

3. Add a Hygge Touch to Your Morning 

A reset doesn’t have to be grand. It can be as simple as making your morning tea or coffee a mindful ritual. Light a wax melt, open the window to the crisp September air, and take five minutes to just be before the day starts.

4. Bring Autumn Indoors 

Hygge is about creating a space that feels comforting. In September, I love filling the cabin with little touches of the season: dried flowers, foraged leaves, warm-toned blankets.

It doesn’t need to be perfect – just intentional. Let your home reflect the slower pace you want to invite in.

5. Slow Evenings, Calmer Sleep 

As the nights draw in, September is a good time to reset your sleep routine. A warm bath with salts, a calming roll-on, or a pillow spray with lavender and chamomile can signal to your body that it’s time to rest.

When we slow our evenings, mornings feel brighter.

The Beauty of a September Reset

A reset doesn’t have to mean overhauling everything. Sometimes it’s the smallest rituals that have the biggest impact: lighting a candle, hydrating your skin, brewing tea with intention.

This September, give yourself permission to slow down, soften, and let hygge guide you into autumn.
