Self Care 101

What a time to be alive, and that isn’t sarcasm. Although, last week, it would have been. Our world has completely gone topsy turvy and with that comes a new normal that we are all adjusting to. So, be kind, be gracious and do your best to give yourself a little grace.

For me, one thing that has kept me centered through all of this is a little extra self love and care. Just because we can’t go outside, doesn’t mean we aren’t able to love ourselves and pamper ourselves.

I’ve rounded up some of the ways I’ve been practicing self care and the product that I have stocked to enjoy.

Skincare

Skincare self care should always be practicing, but I’m definitely enjoying an extra mask (or two). Here are the top products I’m stocking in my cabinet during this lockdown.

Bathtime

Baths have always been my number one stress reliever. I’ve pretty much taken two baths per day since all of this madness has started. Whether I’m reading a book or scrolling on Instagram engaging with all of you, I spend that time decompressing with the help of these top items.

Wellness

The one thing that has been the biggest struggle during social distancing is the social connection and my daily workouts. It took me a few days to adjust but I’ve figured out a few ways to maintain connection with my closest friends and by moving and working out every day.

Peloton is offering their app free for 90 days and I’ve taken a few of their classes and love! In 30 minutes, I manage to break a good sweat while keeping my body active. From yoga, strength, meditation, treadmill and bootcamp workouts they really have it all covered.

I’ve always been a social person and not being able to be around people did have an effect on me in the beginning. Thanks to technology though like Face Time and Google Hangouts, I’ve been able to schedule virtual happy hours and book clubs with my closest friends.
