If you hang around this blog long enough - you will soon find out that we are all about self-care, but we know that sometimes we get stuck in a rut of doing the same actions again and again. Before you know it - what had once been self-care seems like just another box you have to check on your already way-too-long to-do list!

SELF CARE IDEA #1
SPLURGE ON GOURMET HOT CHOCOLATE AND TOPPINGS
If there's one delight we wouldn't wanna miss in winter... it's hot chocolate.
Comforting, mouthwatering, and found to be beneficial for both heart health and cognitive abilities! What other best way for self-care than splurging on something that's not just delicious and comforting but also healthy?
Here's your guide to GETTING YOUR HOT CHOCO RIGHT NOW.
SELF CARE IDEA #2.)
PURCHASE A NEW, CUTE FALL PAJAMA SET
Just because daylight is shorter during the fall doesn't mean that we aren’t working the same long hours or that we are less tired. In fact - you may be feeling even more sluggish than your typical self.
Why? Well shorter days mean we're exposed to less sunlight which throws off our circadian rhythm, making us more lethargic than usual.
See? Science! So instead of torturing yourself because you think you're slower than your normal days, take pleasure in it. Get that cute fall pajama set you have been eyeing, and treat yourself to being extra cozy on these long, cold nights.
SELF CARE IDEA #3.)

SELF CARE IDEA #4
SCHEDULE THAT DOCTOR’S VISIT YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF
Whether it's your long overdue visit to your dentist, primary care physician, chiropractor, therapist, or whatever it is that you have been putting off - NOW is the right time!
What better time to finally schedule that than before the busy holiday season, right?
Because we both know that if you don't do it right now... you might actually end up putting it off again until the next holiday season, or who knows when?
We know this isn’t the most fun self-care act, but it may be the most important! And you’ll feel better having the peace of mind that your body and mind are well taken care of.
SELF CARE IDEA #5
GO THROUGH YOUR SUMMER CLOTHES AND DONATE EVERYTHING YOU DIDN’T WEAR THIS YEAR
Do you have piles of stuff laying around your house creating eyesores? Is your closet cluttered and your dresser drawers packed with items you never wear? When stuff piles up everything starts to look so messy - and you know what they say… MESS CAUSES STRESS.
Our brains naturally like order, and seeing things cluttered drains our cognitive resources. That means those extra t-shirts and shorts you never wear actually reduces your ability to focus and causes stress!
So, let go of the things you are not using, donate the clothes you didn't wear this season. Free yourself from the guilt of choosing to let go of items you don’t use by telling yourself this will not just improve your house, but also your mental health.
