It’s the end of a long, stressful day.

You undress and jump into a relaxing bubble bath.

This is your non-negotiable me time.

You’ve spent months perfecting a calming spa vibe in your small bathroom sanctuary — the one where all your troubles disappear as soon as you sink into the water.

Smiling, you know you’ve outdone yourself with this latest escape. You allow the luxurious suds to soak over you like a stress-relieving scrub.

You then look around at your curated collection of bath salts, oils, and candles and daydream of ways to replicate this relaxing feeling.

However, we both know life is more than the twenty minutes of daily downtime we feel guilty taking.

Self-care isn’t synonymous with expensive celebrity facials and skincare products. It’s self-love, something everyone requires, regardless of their circumstance.

Our self-care routine should also change and grow based on our needs and lifestyle.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to re-evaluate and rejuvenate our approach to self-care and, thus, self-love.
