Soft life era is a mindset that emphasizes ease, relaxation, and self-care over the traditional hustle culture that I often embody. Rooted in the desire to escape the pressures of constant productivity and stress, it emphasizes the following:

But is it possible to embrace a softer lifestyle when you also have a career and responsibilities? Here’s how you can structure your soft life era while also integrating productivity and success:

Block out specific times in your calendar for self-care activities, such as spa treatments, reading, gardening, or simply relaxing with a cup of tea. Treat these appointments with the same importance as business meetings.

I take time for “beau-tea sessions” with soothing teas like dandelion detox and lavender chamomile. These soft life type sessions are not only relaxing but also offer skin and health benefits!

Start your day with a skincare ritual that leaves your skin feeling soft and radiant. Incorporating gentle, nourishing skincare like cleansing milks or soothing creams into your routine is a cornerstone of the soft life era.

I love using the Korean beauty layering technique with Savor Beauty products. First, I apply the moisture-boosting Savor Beauty Hyaluronic Serum to hydrate and plump my skin. Then, I follow up with the Carrot Rose Serum for cellular renewal. This layering technique keeps my pores nourished and glowing all day.

Delegate tasks that can be handled by others and use automation tools for repetitive tasks. This frees up your time for strategic thinking and creative work, reducing overall stress (a soft life era must).

My daughter gets an allowance for walking our dog, Zoe, and for putting away the dishes in the morning. This frees up time and tasks for me, and the family contribution feels supportive and freeing.

Invest in soft clothing that makes you feel cozy and comfortable. Wearing gentle, breathable fabrics not only brings you physical comfort but also helps you feel at ease throughout the day.

I’ve replaced restrictive clothing and scratchy materials with soft fabrics, yoga attire, and leisure dresses—especially during the hot summer months. They keep me cool and relaxed while supporting a soft life mindset.

Use tools like the Savor Beauty planner to map out your week so you carve out time for both work commitments and personal wellness activities. Visualizing your schedule can help maintain a balanced approach.

On Sundays, I like to do a brain “detox” with all of my week’s priorities and to-dos. This soft life process feels cathartic, allowing me to see my week at a glance and ensuring that the essentials are written down and won’t be forgotten.

Soft life era also calls for carving out time for social activities and meaningful connections with family and friends. Host or attend events that nourish your soul and provide a break from work-related thoughts.

This social time is so precious that I fill it with inspiring friendships and meaningful conversations about travel, learning, and personal growth. I love how these moments enrich my life and give me new perspectives.

Embrace a nourishing approach to food that aligns with the soft life era by prioritizing meals that are both healthy and comforting. Try incorporating meal planning techniques that reduce stress and promote a sense of ease, such as batch cooking and preparing ingredients in advance.

I practice intermittent fasting by eating within an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 hours. I am at my best when I end the workday at 4 PM and cook a proper meal to enjoy by 6 PM, which aligns with my fasting schedule. This practice not only supports a healthy routine but also brings a sense of discipline and routine to my day.

Try out these soft life era tips, and you'll experience a day that flows more smoothly, giving you the time to appreciate and savor beauty.
