Intentionality in an Evening Routine - Among the Pines 10.15.25

Oct 15, 2025

Hi friends—

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on community, connection, and what it means to move through the season with more intention. I’ve found myself slowing down (finally), craving tea, and listening to that quiet nudge to take better care of myself. On a recent hike with Ryan, we started dreaming about fall and longer nights and this idea sparked—what if we created a nightly ritual, starting with something as simple as lighting a candle? Just one small moment to ground in, and then an hour to nurture yourself—stretch, read, soak, breathe. My body actually got chills thinking about it. So this fall, I’m starting a little evening ritual practice, and I’d love for you to join me. What might your nighttime routine look like?

WEARING & USING

  • This candle of ours has been guiding me through my evening wind down so wonderfully. It has a recommended hour and a half burn time, so this gives you the perfect time frame for your evening routine.

  • Meadowsweet is a favorite apothecary of mine and you can find the best tea blends to incorporate into your nightly rhythms (they’re opening a new storefront in Golden this month, so be on the lookout!)

  • A couple of great options if you include journaling in your nightly routine-

RECIPES I’M MAKING

  • Give me all of the soup recipes for fall and winter starting with this delicious green chili recipe

  • This chia seed pudding recipe is an easy rhythm to incorporate into your evening routine to make breakfast the next morning a lot easier!

WHAT I’M READING

  • Reading this article from The Good Trade about how we can actually find the support we need in community and togetherness, and how it provides a necessary balm for nervous system regulation

  • We know my dear friend Mary Beth always has words of wisdom, and this week was no exception with this quote by Lyndsay Rush she posted and I can’t stop thinking about it

COMMUNITY EVENTS

  • Pumpkin Palooza Family Night Out at the Wulf Rec Center on October 18th!

  • Center for the Arts Evergreen is hosting a workshop series focusing on seasonal herbal wellness from October 23rd-November 13th! I’m already signed up for this one and can’t wait to learn something new!

  • Center for the Arts is also hosting a pop-up exhibition October 22-25 and this one is free!

I can’t wait to hear about your evening rituals & keep connecting with you! xx
