Self-care and your mental health—they just go together. For me, the first sign I'm slipping into a depressive episode is when I stop doing the little things I enjoy that keep me grounded. What used to be second nature like washing my face and eating clean become daunting tasks. But here’s the thing: forcing myself back into those daily self-care habits always helps me find my way back to peace. It’s like hitting the reset button for my soul. Sometimes the best way to do that is to book yourself a pampering treatment. Remind yourself how good life can get! You deserve a life full of joy. You’re meant for bliss, not burnout. And most importantly, you deserve to be your biggest advocate. It’s so important to say “yes” to yourself—not just to what you need, but to what you want, too! So go ahead, be a little “selfish” in the best way. For me, that means indulging in my daily skincare, treating myself to a monthly massage, and blocking out time for a facial each month.

It really makes me think of that quote "you can't pour from an empty cup." It couldn't be more true! I show up as my best self for my kids and husband when I have blocked out some time for myself each month. Self-care practices can take commitment, but I promise it’s always worth it. Happiness is a habit just like your skincare. Stick with your routine, whether it’s oil pulling with your favorite facial mask before bed, herbal elixirs and teas to start your day, or simply telling yourself you’re awesome—especially on the days when it’s the hardest. Those are the days it matters most. I’m here to walk this journey with you, enhancing your natural beauty and building your confidence every step of the way. Let’s make this whole self-care thing as fun as it is fabulous! Your mind, body, and soul will thank you.
