Happy International Self-Care Day everyone!
In the past couple of months, I have made a huge effort to practice more self-care and create a routine that I love! I have been listening to tons of podcasts and watching videos on other’s self-care rituals, and I can now say I am obsessed with the topic. I feel such a difference when I take time for myself to do something that makes me feel good. This can be anything from taking a bath, doing a face mask, or watching reality tv while drinking tea (aka letting my brain just completely relax and go to mush haha). I think it is so important to take time for yourself and do things that make you feel good and re-energized.
Self-care night
I love to have a ‘self-care night’ at least once a week. My self-care routine looks different every single time, but it usually entails that I take a long bath, apply a face mask, watch Netflix, and journal! (The time of the week where I can #extra and not feel bad about it) All of my favorite things in one night that leave me feeling amazing after and honestly unwind and de-stress. However, you don’t need a routine to practice self-care! It can be as simple as reading for a few minutes or working out! Some days it can be as simple as putting my phone down for an hour and reading or taking a walk. I find putting my phone away to be the best feeling. In a world full of social media and constant comparison a mini digital detox can be very necessary. I even consider my night time skincare routine apart of my self-care! In the end, it means taking time and focusing on yourself.
This week set a goal and do something positive for yourself. Choose a couple of things from this list and make time to do them! When it comes to self-care, you can’t use the excuse “I don’t have time,” you have to make yourself a priority!
Here are a few of my self-care items which I also enjoy!
- Silk pillowcase
- Silk eye mask
- My favorite face masks
- Coconut Oil
- Jade Roller
- Essential oils and diffuser
