We can do it BBers, we can do self-care.
Sleepy21 pointed out research that shows self-care REALLY helps!
Please share what you do for self-care so we can get inspiration, ideas and motivation to do it too.
Best wishes
EM

I usually do this daily, but:
- Showered (morning & night because I sweat so much, I hate it), washed my face, applied a face mask.
- Put on my wax melts. This is something I find relaxing, certain scents especially.

Hey Sleepy, lol some days one hot drink just ISN'T enough!
Your self-care sounds lovely.
Hey Tay, your self-care thing are wonderful!
You've got some great routines there. What fragrances are your faves?
Hey ypla, good on you for showing your resilience and bouncing back!
How good are fresh bagels omg yum!!
AWESOME BB self-carers!
My 3 self-care things today:
* went to my NEW dentist and it was SO pleasant, she's so sweet and gentle... I am SO GLAD I changed dentists. Booyah lol.
* bought Vietnamese food because I LOVE IT. It was SO lovely, the girl serving remembered me awww, we had a little chat. When I got home I saw she gave me a bag of prawn chips as an extra! Lol.
* OK there's a theme happening on 2 levels... I went into a Bedding shop (yeah another one lol) and grabbed some new Beach towels and some more bedding and other stuff... went to the counter AND SAW a girl I went to school with! She gave me huge hugs, got my number to grab a coffee! I really like this girl. That's so cool.
Got some work to do tonight.
Very busy week ahead.
All good.
Onwards and UPwards peeps!
Love EM
