SELF-CARE
By Alana Lauren
Daily life has been pretty busy - especially in 2021. Between working from home, remote learning with kids, virtual friend meetups and just trying to stick to a daily routine, there has been little time and space for self-care to revitalize our mood and help us feel our best emotionally, physically and mentally.
But, in the midst of busy days, what if there were easy and convenient ways to treat yourself and your body when a day at the salon or relaxing evening in a warm bath isn’t in the cards? When self-care falls to the bottom of your to-do list, there are a handful of easy practices you can try throughout the day to keep yourself in balance. Power up your morning routine: Turn yourself into a morning person with a quick dose of calm and relaxation. Set your alarm 15 to 20 minutes earlier to decompress before starting the day - listen to your favourite music, stretch, give yourself a face massage with your favourite serum - whatever helps to kick off your a.m. routine with peace and positivity.
