@itsfi great wellness activities! A facial with relaxing ocean sounds, that sounds amazing! And a walk to see the cherry blossoms, that sounds lovely! I like your approach of having different bedtime routines that you can pull from, depending on the day and the situation; that's something I've worked on (and am still working on) myself, with various self-care routines. I find that my "ideal" or complete routines (whether it be for bedtime unwinding, skincare, or something else) don't always work with my mental health and what I'm able to do on that particular day, so I have to adjust and improvise. It's a work in progress, for sure.I am planning to tackle the financial wellness task tomorrow and this weekend as well - I really need to do some tighter budgeting and stick to more of a low buy after this month 😅. My parents actually gave me a financial planner/workbook for Christmas, so I plan to try to make use of that to help me figure things out.

My last check-in for March. Activities marked with blue butterfly emoji. Didn't clear the board but checked off some well meaning squares.Arts - Crafts - Hobbies: Checked off this square with a couple of activities over the last week/week-and-a-half - spent some time trying some different photography techniques and trying out some new-to-me recipes. Both continue to be works in progress. 😅 Hydrate: I've been struggling with either allergies or a cold the last couple of day; or, perhaps a combination of both. Whatever it may be, it's been causing me to need to take in more and more water just to stay hydrated. I feel like all I've been doing th elast couple of days is drink water and I still seem to need more. 😮🚰 Be(e) Kind To Yourself: Yep, sure am going to be in about 5 minutes ... I took a Benadryl about 10 minutes ago and am feeling it slooowly but suuuurely kicking in. Going to lie down and sleep just as soon as I finish and upload this post. Quote(s) of the Day: "As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others." ~ Maya Angelou Attitude of Gratitude: I stayed home and pretty much in bed all of Saturday. Spent some of that (literal) down time thinking about some of the many things and people for whom I am thankul / grateful. Speak Kindly to Yourself: Normally, my inner voice (and sometimes my outer one, too) would tell myself to "suck it up, buttercup" and just keep pushing through. Today, I went to a meeting, and instead of just pushing through it, I decided to call it day. Which is what I did after stopping my the drugstore to pick up Benadryl. So, instead of "suck[ing] it up", I'm going to rest up. 😴🛌 April wellness bingo card will be up tomorrow (4/1).

So true @milanamiss. Please feel free to join in, if, as and when you feel like it. April's wellness card will be up next week.

Yes, dry patches on the face can sometimes occur in diabetics due to changes in skin hydration and blood sugar levels. It's important to keep your skin moisturized and monitor your blood sugar levels. If the dryness persists, you might want to consider consulting a dermatologist for advice. By the way, I recently came across a website called Canada Drugs Direct that offers to Get Mounjaro Online, which could be helpful for managing diabetes more effectively. You might want to check it out for more information!

Body care is one of those I’ve always slacked on. But when I do a routine, I always do the following: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cherry Dub Triple Action AHA Body Scrub 8.5 oz / 240 mL or Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Body Scrub 10% AHA BHA Resurfacing Complex + Crushed Maracujá Seeds 7.8 oz / 220 gSol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmeza Firming & Debloating Body Oil 4 oz / 100 mL Other days i use a basic body wash and lotion that i happen to have or one my my many, many sample products i pick up. I love a body oil and how glowy it makes my skin, though!

@eshoe It was fun! My friend does a really great job - she has such a soft, calm relaxing voice that makes the experience even better. 😊

It's not because they're rude. It's because young children are buying hundreds of dollars worth of products which are almost toxic to their skin.

@itsfi You did such a great job this month!!! Yay you!!! I commit to doing better in January! I love these. A fun way to stay accountable!!

If you're just starting to exercise, it’s great to begin with bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges to build overall strength. For a more targeted approach, I recommend exploring upper chest calisthenics exercises like decline push-ups and chest dips, which are detailed on BetterMe. They provide a structured way to develop your upper chest without needing equipment.
