"Habit Stacking": Build Wellness, One Step at a Time

We all know how easy it is to set ambitious New Year’s resolutions - only to fall off track a few weeks later. The secret to actually sticking with new habits? Start small, build gradually, and add one thing at a time. This approach is called habit stacking, and it’s a simple, stress-free way to create routines that last.

What Is Habit Stacking?

Habit stacking is exactly what it sounds like: you “stack” a new habit onto something you already do. But here’s the key part: you add new habits gradually, rather than all at once.

Think of it like building a staircase: you take one step at a time, then after that step feels natural, you add the next.

Example Weekly Plan:

• Week 1: After brushing your teeth in the morning, apply your Sea Buckthorn Serum.

• Week 2: Add your Peptide Collagen Moisturiser immediately after the serum.

• Week 3: Include your 30-Day Detox Supplement with breakfast or morning smoothie.

By spacing out your new habits by about a week, each one has time to become automatic before adding the next.

Why It Works

• Reduces overwhelm: One habit at a time is far more achievable than overhauling everything at once.

• Builds consistency: Small, repeated actions turn into automatic routines.

• Supports lasting results: Consistent skin, gut, and wellness habits add up over weeks and months, without stress or guilt.

How Habit Stacking Can Help Your Skin and Gut

Using this weekly approach, you can gradually introduce routines that make a real difference:

• Skincare: Start with your Sea Buckthorn Serum. After it becomes habit, add Peptide Collagen Moisturiser. Your skin will thank you for consistent care.

• Gut Health: Introduce your 30-Day Detox Supplement once your morning skincare is established. Small, steady support makes it easier to remember and stick with.

• Hydration: Pair water with your morning coffee or breakfast. Once it feels natural, layer in another small habit, like a green smoothie or mindfulness moment.

Even one small habit a week compounds over time into a full, nourishing routine, leaving you glowing inside and out.

Tips to Get Started

1. Pick your first habit – keep it small and achievable.

2. Anchor it to something you already do – a morning or evening routine works best.

3. Wait a week before adding the next habit – this gives it time to stick.

4. Celebrate consistency – noticing your wins makes it easier to continue stacking.
