Hello, Beautiful! Thanks for joining us at the Intersection of Skincare & Soulcare — Wellness

I need to be real with you for a minute, and it involves self care. When I used to think about self care, I imagined all of the woo woo, meditation, sitting - lotus - style while gongs play in the background.....that just wasn't me. That was what I used to think about self care. That was before I knew how to take care of myself.  The truth is, I feel a bit sorry for the girl I used to be. I had no idea how to talk to myself, care for myself or value myself in the way I...

When was the last time you took a minute to give yourself a lovely face mask? Perhaps you would rather not remember the gooey green feel of it or the fact that you left half of it stuck to your cheeks and eyebrows when you tried to get the darn thing off. Sound familiar?

2018 has been a year of redesigning my life. It really has. Today, I wanted to share one of the unexpected changes I made that has probably had one of the biggest impacts on how I feel every day. Disclaimer: I have never, ever been good at planning or even using a calendar or planner.
