Oh boy this one is a fun one. 😁
Self-Care is both Step 2 and 3. Taking care of my body and mind is going to be separated.
So step 2 is my body. Self care is something I have ALWAYS been a little off about. For instance my hair is brittle and my skin is dull. I'm using argan oil for my hair, which is making it SO soft, and I alternate between using my mix (aloe vera and witch hazel mix) and vitamin E oil. It's definitely a work on progress. The fun part (note my sarcasm) is finding what works with my skin, and what doesn't.
What I've learned? Oh that's quite a bit. I'm sensitive to smell. Like not just any smell, if there is a chemical smell to what I'm using.... I get sick. Like sick to my stomach. Which I'm not entirely sure if that's just me or if that's something other people deal with. So I've been very careful regarding that. I've also learned my skin will let me know if I use something it doesn't like. For instance I have a clay mask I use whenever i have a huge problem with dry skin... yeah, no more of that. I looked like I had a sunburn, like cooked lobster sun burn. It's definitely an interesting experience. My biggest thing is time. I don't want to spend 3 hours everyday doing a self care routine... I am NOT that patient. With other people? Yes, with myself? Hell no. So if I can do self care at night when I'm done with the day, and the some in the morning. I'm a happy person. If I have to do three hours in both settings... no. Just no.
I'm interested in tips from y'all. Like seriously, what do y'all use? What do you recommend to use? I'm not kidding either. I am sitting here looking at all the options and I'm lost. I'm always open to advice about things I have no clue about.
I hope y'all are having an amazing weekend. Staff safe guys. Bye! 💙
