summertime self-care <3

7/1/22

happy July cherubs!!! I cannot believe it's the seventh month of the year already...2022 is already half way over. unbelievable!!!

with summertime comes the heat, which means self-care is more important than ever.

summertime self-care tips:

• read at least one book over the summer

• spend at last 10-minutes a day relaxing, doing yoga, or meditating

• take a long, peaceful bath

• keep a regular bed time

• put your phone away one hour before bed (it will help you sleep I promise)

• treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure...or both!

• get a fresh haircut

• spend time outside in the fresh air

• perfect your skincare routine or make one

• wake up at a normal time everyday

• listen to your favorite music

• spend the day without watching tv
