5 Self Care Areas I Focus on Weekly
If you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning, you’ll know that self-care is a topic and practice that is so important to me. Many of my ideas for blog posts come from one of five self-care areas that I value the most for my anxiety management and quality of life! These areas are constantly evolving and changing. Some weeks one area may be more of a priority than others. I should also note that I do struggle with guilt when I feel like I am not giving enough time to one of these areas on a given week but the truth is, even if I am focusing more on…

We’ve all seen the slogan “New Year, New You” all over the internet. The sentiment sounds nice, encouraging you to overhaul your entire life overnight in order to be a success in the new year.

Maybe you havenβt eaten βhealthyβ since Thanksgiving or beyond that. Maybe you had a few…

Body Positivity And Wedding Dress Shopping
A few months ago, I made an appointment for wedding dress shopping at a boutique in Seattle called I Do Bridal. For full disclosure, before we got engaged, I never dreamed about what my wedding would be like let alone what kind of wedding dress I would want to wear. So that I didnβt show up without a plan in mind I went to Pinterest and created a private board and began searching for my perfect wedding dress. Turns out I had a very specific silhouette in mind. I had paid for a premium appointment which meant we got a special seating area to try on dresses and the money…

Remembering to Really Take Care of Your Physical and Mental Wellbeing
It’s been quite a while since I sat down and actually wrote a blog post. Over the last several months I have dedicated a lot of time to self-care both physical and mental. I am still in the midst of some lifestyle changes that, while they are imperative to my wellbeing, are taking some time getting used to. I think a lot of times we can forget that self-care is more than just taking a bubble bath and lighting some candles. Self-care can be as literal as going to the doctor. This became blatantly clear to me after I finally booked into an appointment with my new general practitioner. It…

How to Create Your Own Self Care Routine
It should come as no surprise by now that self-care is really important to me. It is something that I have focused a lot of my attention on over the last year and something that I think is vital to your well-being. The great thing about self-care is that it is completely different for every person and each routine is totally unique to their interests and needs. One person may love to go for long runs a few times a week and another may like to take short walks in the evening after dinner. Whatever it is, making sure we schedule time for ourselves during the week should be a…
