Self care

[Mrspjsmom]

I almost always put everyone else first and don't take care of myself the way I should. I'm sure there are other members here that do the same. So today I am going to do three things for me.

Spend quiet time outside

Give myself a facial tonight

Do my nails

I would love it if others shared some of their favorite things to do for self care.

Watch an '80s film. Yesterday started watching The Breakfast Club. Didn't see it back in the day.

Comedy or comedy podcasts on Spotify if I need laugh.

Walk on beach with my dog.

Sounds great. Comedy always cheers me up. Loved the breakfast club. Haven't seen it in years.

Favorite things….hmmmm…….nap(yeah!), eat fried chicken 🍗, make someone else laugh, shop til I drop online😁 (my couch catches me every time), watch an episode of Outlander and cry like a baby (i feel so good afterwards), turn on some fifties music and croon to love songs, and maybe air guitar to the Ventures. Not a high maintenance type of gal. 😇😁

[Mrspjsmom in reply to Isinatra]

Sounds wonderful! I'm not high maintenance either but I love using a sheet max on my face. So relaxing. And I like doing my nails especially in an unexpected color like blue or teal lol

[Isinatra in reply to Mrspjsmom]

Gotcha’, girl. I like to paint my toes bright green. This time around around it was lavender/purple with white spots. Have you ever tried those under the eye things. The only people I see use them are people who don’t need them. 🤔 oh! And how about those hot bubble baths? Calming for me, but have to crank the a/c down first. Sheet max…..sounds very spa ish. 👍🏼

[Mrspjsmom in reply to Isinatra]

Haven't tried the under eye things. I save my tea bags when I make green tea and put them in the fridge. Bubble baths definitely! I love the sheet masks because they aren't expensive. Usually less than $2 for one and you can find them just about anywhere. And I always paint my ring finger a different color than the rest of my nails. Usually silver or glitter.

[Isinatra in reply to Mrspjsmom]

So fun! And that’s what it’s all about, right? Anything to get us through the doldrums. You’ve put a new spin on painting my nails 💅. Glitter it is!

Get out at dawn to listen to the birds and watch the sun rise.

Sets me up for the whole day!

[Mrspjsmom in reply to Midori]

Sounds wonderful. I don't always see the sun rise but I go out in the morning when I let the dog out. Even in the winter.

I take a cup of tea or coffee and listen to the birds singing.
