HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE : 20 SELF-CARE & WELLNESS GIFTS TO BUY FOR YOURSELF

As Christmas is coming and you are probably already purchasing some gifts for your loved ones don’t forget to add yourself to your shopping list. Yes boo you heard me! For the sake of self-care.

What is self-care anyways? Self-care is making sure you take as much time and energy to care for yourself before you willingly and sometimes resentfully give everything you have to others. That means setting boundaries, taking action to check in with yourself, keeping up on your health and well-being.


As parents, wives, friends or sisters we would often just spoil others. We would fight tooth and nail to make sure are loved ones are okay! So we need to be prepared to fight for ourselves, as well. Because if we want to be able to be our best with our kids, in our marriages or partnerships, in our jobs, in our families, for our communities, we have to make sure we are fully charged. And the best way to do so it’s to practice self-care.
