There’s something about the stretch between 3 PM and 6 PM — the tail end of your workday when your energy dips, your inbox fills, and your to-do list seems to grow longer. But what if instead of powering through, you hit pause? What if your afternoons became a little ritual of indulgence?
Here’s how you can reclaim your afternoons, slow down, and savour the moment with a coffee… or a cocktail.
1. The Mid-Afternoon Coffee Reset
Swap that last-minute caffeine grab for a mindful coffee break. Brew your favourite blend at home and elevate it with a shot of Cashmere Syrups. Whether it’s a velvety Vanilla or a bold Caramel, adding a splash of flavour transforms your cup into a moment of indulgence.
Pro Tip: Make it an iced latte with a drizzle of Hazelnut for an instant mood lift.
2. A Sweet Sip with Friends (or Just for You)
If you’re working from home or clocking off early, why not schedule a 4 PM coffee catch-up or a cocktail hour with friends? It’s the perfect excuse to step away from the screen.
Mix up a simple cocktail — think Gin, Soda, and a dash of Cashmere Peach Iced Tea Concentrate. Light, refreshing, and effortlessly chic.
Or: Keep it solo with a mocktail spritz. Just you, a good book, and a glass full of flavour.
3. Set the Scene for Your Wind Down
Reclaiming your afternoons isn’t just about what’s in your cup. Set the scene:
-
Light a candle
-
Step onto your balcony or into the garden
-
Put on your favourite playlist
Creating a sensory moment makes the pause intentional — a signal that the workday is winding down.
4. Make it a Ritual, Not a One-Off
The secret? Make this your daily rhythm. Whether it’s a 10-minute coffee break or a Friday afternoon cocktail, rituals turn ordinary moments into something special.
Afternoons don’t have to be the leftover hours of your day. With a little indulgence, they can become your daily highlight.
