5 Small Kitchen Rituals to Calm Your Evening

When the day winds down, the kitchen can become a little sanctuary. Simple rituals — just a few minutes each — help you relax and make tomorrow smoother.

👉 Five ideas to try tonight:

1. Candle or oil lamp – soft light sets a cozy mood.

2. Cup of lemon tea – slow sipping to ease body and mind.

3. Fold the kitchen towel – a tiny act, but the kitchen feels reset.

4. Five-minute tidy-up – pick one corner, set a timer, and clear it.

5. Mini mise en place for tomorrow – a lemon wedge, overnight oats, or a clean cup waiting.

✨ Small actions, big impact. What’s your evening ritual?
