Self-Care Isn’t Just Face Masks
I mean, sometimes it is, but a face mask can’t fix everything…unfortunately.
Sometimes it means face masks, sweets, and you’re favorite rom-com. On the other hand, it could mean a night out with your girls dancing and being crazy. And then, other times, it means putting on our big girl pants and getting our sh*t done.
Not sure what you need? Don’t worry, I gotchu. Here’s a list of all the different ways you can self-care today, or the next time you need it.
