Light a Candle. Feel F*#king Fabulous.
Burn out is real. When life’s hamster wheel runs on end, the deadlines come rushing in and the errands are never ending, I remind myself of this: there is no them without me! I’ve come to learn the hard way that self-care is not just about frivolous over- indulgence. (Although … it could be *smirk). It’s about showing appreciation for your biggest ally in this life. When we are at our best, we can give our best to others.
For today’s Weekly Dose, we’re sharing a simple self-care routine that involves pampering facials, soothing teas and healing aromas. Start by finding your most zen spot in the house and turn on some calming music. Then, begin your facial routine with a lavish application of your favorite mask . This mask could be a DIY mask, or a ready-made mask. While your mask percolates, pour a relaxing cup of tea. Now, you’re ready for the finale. When you’re all settled, light the candle. THE candle is unequivocally Tom Ford’s “Fucking Fabulous” Candle — a candle purported to evoke the private exchanges and insider moments where fantasies come true … that smells like “aromatic foreplay.” (Ford’s words not mine). Sounds like witchcraft to me! But anything for self-care (*wink). Enjoy!
YOU’LL NEED: Your favorite ready-made mask or a DIY mask, tea bags, candle, book, a comfortable spot in the house, music
“SELF-CARE IS NEVER A SELFISH ACT - IT IS SIMPLY GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE ONLY GIFT I HAVE, THE GIFT I WAS PUT ON EARTH TO OFFER OTHERS. ANYTIME WE CAN LISTEN TO TRUE SELF AND GIVE THE CARE IT REQUIRES, WE DO IT NOT ONLY FOR OURSELVES, BUT FOR THE MANY OTHERS WHOSE LIVES WE TOUCH. ”
