We vowed to take a little more time for ourselves this year. And while it’s not always easy, the benefits of a daily 20 minute walk, stretching, connecting with your body, reading a good book before bed rather than being on your phone, and carving out time for self-care rituals are immense.
These de-stressing activities help slow down the ageing process, improve sleep, increase immunity, help you bounce back faster if you do get sick, aid with digestion and gut health, and boost your mood.
For some “me-time” inspiration, we crafted 3 easy DIY recipes for luscious hair, radiant skin, and even skin tone. The best part? They can all be made using ingredients from your pantry or fridge.
So, darling, this is your sign to put your phone on silent, and take some time for YOU.
Happy relaxing!
