Happy International Self Care Day!

Thank you! It was pretty tasty @eshoe. And after a week of heavier meals it was so refreshing to have something so light and nutritious. ☺️

That is a beautiful meal, it looks so balanced and tasty too! Balance is so important. I hope you have a great day! @CynthieLu 🫶

@CynthieLu Ohh what a lovely meal. I heard nutritional yeast is a great substitute for cheese. I am glad you were able to have a meal that makes you feel good! Eating healthy is a great form of self care 🥗

Great thread @Mellmars1185 ! 💞 I will be continuing my little “reset” meaning way less simple carbs, no added sugars (no fun lol), some stretching, a nice long pup walk with Buddy and probably doing a quick mask too! Good for you to be at the gym! 🥰

I need to job on the reset train 🚂 too I think it would help energetically. Your day sounds so cozy and I love the walk with pup always good to get fresh air and be with your buddy, so sweet 🥹 masks are the best too ❤️ @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

Never a bad day when I can spend it with my fluffs @peculiarzmakeup ! 🥰 I always seem to need a reset a bunch of times of the year! 😭😆

[Mellmars1185]

@Sunnysmom Thank you! Wonderful reset. I love that word because it is never too late to start anything. I hope your reset helps you feel amazing. Walks are such a nice way to reset your mind and body (plus the pups). That mask sounds lovely. Have you tried it before?

I am actually working out at home. The work out is a 30 day challenge called body mind reset ☺️

[Sunnysmom]

Oh wow @Mellmars1185 that’s my kind of workout! I actually just bought a little travel kind of Pilates thing and hoping it will inspire me. Yours sounds wonderful and I bet you feel so good! ☺️ Yes @itsfi inspired me to pick the mask up last year I think it was and it’s such an effective little quick mask. I was skeptical and should not have been because she clearly does not steer us wrong. 🙂 My skin feels so refreshed, clean and glowy! 

[Mellmars1185]

@Sunnysmom Oh neat! Pilates sounds fun. I have not tried it. The mask sounds wonderful. I should check my sample stash to see if I have a foil of it to try.

[Sunnysmom]

It’s so good for stretching out “issues” @Mellmars1185 but I’m sure I’ll find out what a true klutz I continue to be! 😭 Maybe @SportyGirly125 should do an online class for us! 💞

I will be working out today. This is my ultimate form of self care. I feel like when I work out it creates a domino effect for a great day. I am also disconnecting this weekend and going camping. I might bring a face mask or two 🏕

[missjeanie]

@Mellmars1185 Love a camping face mask!!  I feel like when I'm out in the bush getting a face mask in makes me feel refreshed even without a hot shower!  Enjoy your camping weekend!!

[Mellmars1185]

@missjeanie Thank you! I heard the weather is supposed to be nice 🏕 🌞

[CynthieLu]

Enjoy your camping trip! @Mellmars1185 Time away to disconnect is so refreshing. 🌲💚 I also brought facemasks away to camp as well, the right ones can be so good if you've had to much sun. 😉

Aaah exercise is such a great goal! Way to go! 🏃‍♀️ you are inspiring! I need to take a page out of your book and start doing that. 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you so much! Face masks can turn camping into glamping, right? When did you go?

I am all for self care. I try to fit it into my life as much as possible. 

[CynthieLu]

We left about 2 weeks ago, visiting family up north and doing some cottaging. Cottage life is our camping. 🌲🏡 

I have no internet at the cottage and only my data ( only 1 bar 🙈) up at our family's place so my internet time is a bit limited. @Mellmars1185 

My trunk of skincare and masks definitely make me a glamper too. 💝✨ This is my life. 😂

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Enjoy! That sounds wonderful 🏕

[peculiarzmakeup]

Self care day! How neat I love it. Working out is definatley so helpful even if it’s just going for a walk it is so good for health. Camping sounds like a blast, always a great getaway. What face masks are on your mind for the trip? Thank you for the tag! And such a great topic ❤️ Happy International Self Care Day @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup I will take some sheet masks with me. I am not sure which ones yet. Probably a hydrating one!

[preppyreveiws]

I had no idea that was today!! I think I will work out a little bit, do some stretching, and dance (I’ve been needing some practice lately, I’ve been slowing down since summer started 🥲) I’m also going to do some face masks and just a whole self-care night tonight ☺️
