I got a text the other day that made my day.
This was sent by my good friend Whitney Garrison. We went to UNC Chapel Hill together & ended up in several journalism classes together. We partnered up on many projects, and she’s such a good writer! Anyway… this was such an amazing text to receive. I always encouraged Whitney to take time to herself and truly pamper herself when she was feeling stressed out. (Whitney is the type to put off papers – and we had a lot of them. But somehow she would always write these amazing final pieces even if she was up until 5am).
If you know me, you know I’m a huge fan of facials & homemade facials. I also love doing deep conditioners, & doing manis & pedis at home. These are only a few ways to take time out of your busy week and focus on yourself. I can’t stress enough how just a few hours each week can make everything seem so much less stressful.
Some rituals I like love:
- I love to soak my feet, scrub them down & paint my toes
- A glass of wine (Zolo is my new favorite – a type of Malbec)
- Mini facials at home
- Manicures (I’ll be doing a post on new colors I LOVE)
- A good movie (The Notebook anyone?)
- Rich moisturizing face cream
- Fresh sheets to accompany your super clean, moisturized face
You do such a great job with these posts and have made several additions to my beauty regiment based on your suggestions so thank you. My question is since you don’t recommend matching your eyeshadow with your outfit what colors should I use also I was wondering if you would do a post on the correct way to apply Bobbi Brown’s creamy concealer kit I am not getting a natural finish when I do it thanks again for all of the advice!!
Of course – I’ll make a post about it soon!
