Autumn is the season that teaches us how beautiful it can be to let things go…
The crisp air, golden leaves, and shorter days of fall truly feel like nature’s invitation to pause, reset, and realign. While January is typically seen as the time for resolutions, many cultures consider autumn the true new year—a season of transition, reflection, and preparation. It’s the ideal moment to embrace new rituals that nurture both your inner and outer self.
With the be.come journal, you can start a 4-month journey of self-discovery, mindful living, and authentic growth—perfectly timed to carry you through fall and into the new year. And when paired with intentional skincare rituals, this season can become your most restorative and transformative yet.
Why Fall is the Season of Fresh Starts
The fall offers a gentler rhythm for change. The slowing pace of nature mirrors what many of us need: a chance to reflect on where we are, clarify what matters, and create routines that feel nourishing.
The start of a new academic year brings a sense of structure and possibility.
Cooler weather makes us naturally gravitate toward cozy indoor rituals.
Shorter days remind us of the importance of self-care and grounding practices.
This makes fall the perfect season to anchor both mindful journaling and restorative skincare as habits that carry you forward with balance and confidence.
The 4-Month be.come Journey
The be.come journal is designed to guide you step by step through a four-month exploration of being and becoming:
Where are you? — Assess your current well-being and understand your starting point.
Who are you? — Discover your strengths, values, and authentic self.
Who do you want to be.come? — Envision your best possible self and define key life domains to improve.
How will you get there? — Set practical monthly, weekly, and daily goals with built-in reflection points.
By starting in September or October, you’ll complete the journal just as the new calendar year begins—arriving at January already grounded, intentional, and aligned.
Pairing Journaling with Skincare Rituals
Just as journaling nourishes your inner self, skincare is a daily act of caring for your body. Combining the two creates a holistic ritual where mind and skin are both rejuvenated.
Here’s how to weave them together:
Morning Ritual: Begin with a quick cleanse and moisturizer, then take 5 minutes to set intentions in your journal. Ask: What energy do I want to bring into my day?
Evening Ritual: As you remove the day’s buildup with your skincare routine, use the be.come journal’s evening prompts to release thoughts and reflect. Ask: What am I ready to let go of before I rest?
Weekly Reset: Dedicate one cozy evening to a face mask and your journal’s weekly summary. This pairing encourages deep reflection and renewal.
Seasonal Care: Fall often brings dryness—just as our inner lives may feel stretched by transitions. Hydrating masks, nourishing creams, and journaling both serve as ways to replenish what feels depleted.
Practical Tips for Success
Anchor Your Routine: Connect journaling with skincare so it becomes automatic—journal after applying your night cream, for example.
Keep Tools Visible: Place your journal next to your skincare essentials to remind yourself daily.
Celebrate Small Wins: Both skincare and journaling work best with consistency. Even five minutes a day can create big results over time.
A Season of Self-Care and Becoming
Fall is more than just a season of change—it’s an invitation to realign with your truest self. By beginning your be.come journey now and pairing it with nourishing skincare rituals, you’ll create a sustainable rhythm of care, reflection, and growth that supports you from the inside out.
This fall, let journaling and skincare be your anchors—guiding you into a season of balance, and beauty. Because fall is not just about endings—it’s about becoming.
This autumn, start your journey: Write. Reflect. Renew. Glow. Be.
