It can sometimes be hard to find time for yourself; trust me, I know! Some days it feels like I have not even a second to myself, and I hate those days. I can really tell when I am in need of some ‘me time‘ stat.

Wanting a little ‘me time‘ or self-care should never come at the price of anxiety, stress, or self-loathing. Below, you’ll find self care gifts for you: the ultimate beauty and wellness list!

Self Care Gifts: The Ultimate Beauty And Wellness Gift Guide
Self care is something we all need to take some time on. It’s so easy to brush it aside with all the “priorities” we face daily, but it’s so important to take care of yourself. The less true you think that is, the more true it inversely becomes.
In times of quarantine or on the weekends, when we are stuck at home with nowhere to go, it’s the perfect opportunity to reprioritize and make time in our schedules to beautify, pamper, and generally look after our own wellness.
The best way to get started is to shop for some self care products that you can look forward to and be excited about. Below are some of my favorite products to soothe and improve your face, body (firm it up), hair, and mood!
In addition to the usual self-care routines, it’s also important to address any long-standing concerns that might be affecting your self-esteem. For those in the Chicago area looking to remove an old tattoo that no longer represents who they are, exploring Chicago tattoo removal services can be a liberating step towards personal rejuvenation.
Skincare & Beauty Essentials
First, I want to show you all of the skincare and beauty essentials that I use all the time! I always try and do a selfcare day a couple of times a week.
Here are the products I love right now:
*Marine + Vine Tahitian Oil
Tahitian Oil is the perfect way to experience “paradise in a bottle” on the go, whether you’re heading to the beach, packing a carry-on, or keeping it in your bag for instant softness and sheen.
Inspired by the ancient tradition of Tahitian Monoi, Tahitian Oil blends potent Monoi with kukui, macadamia, and passion fruit oils for luminous, sublime skin year-round.

*Yareli
One of my most favorite things in the world is to soak in a hot bath with candles on the side of the tub ledge! Ahhh! So nice to do after a long, hard, and stressful day!
Putting something that is good for my body in the bath water is also a must! I love adding a cup of Yareli Dead Sea Soak magnesium bath flakes to my bath water.
The thin magnesium flakes dissolve quickly in warm water so I can soak in it for a while and get the full benefits of this amazing stuff! The magnesium helps to relax my body and soothe my tired or sore muscles. This is SO good for my body and my soul!
The Yareli Magnesium Chloride Oil Spray is great to use on your body after a long soak in the tub to also help with sore muscles or achy body parts.
Contains pure magnesium chloride oil in a solution of deionized water with no other added ingredients. This spray absorbs rather quickly leaving your skin a soft feeling.
This is great to throw in your gym bag for use after hard workouts or keep in your bathroom cabinet to quickly spray on your tired, achy muscles! I use this daily and love it.

Wellness Tips
Below I have listed some very important wellness tips to help you feel the best you can feel, inside and out!
Get Outside!!!
Take the time to step away from your screen and your home, if you are able to, each day, and create a time for only YOU. Spend a little time out in nature. Even spending time in your garden, if you have one, and enjoying the fresh air will help you.
Getting some sunshine on your face helps tremendously. If your garden needs some TLC then why not plant a few new flowers to enjoy?
Or perhaps invest in some flowering trees from the Tree Centre that you can enjoy every time Spring comes around. If it is too late in the season to plant anything, and you don’t have a garden at all, just sit outside!
I like to sit on our lawn and just breathe in as much fresh air as I can. Doing something as simple as getting outside and grounding yourself, is SO important and it is a self-care activity that doesn’t require a lot of time or energy.
If you are able to travel somewhere, head out to your nearest National Park, woodland, lake, or river. Take a picnic and make a day of it! Bring along the family that you enjoy being around, and you can find how easy it can be to leave the stress behind. Take good care of yourself!
Ditch That Damn Scale!
Stop weighing yourself every day! Step away from that damn scale! Did you know that your weight can fluctuate each day (between 2 and 6 lbs)? Possibly even more if your period is due! Try to avoid setting yourself up for a fall every morning and remove the scale from the bathroom or get rid of it altogether. I don’t own one!
Or you can place them in a cupboard so you don’t stand on them without even thinking. If you do want to keep an eye on your weight, try to do it just once a month. Wear the same clothes or nothing at all and don’t be so hard on yourself! That is the key to it all!
Accept Those Compliments!
Accept compliments! Listen to those compliments! Those of us who have image insecurities tend to brush away compliments or simply refuse to believe them.
This is because the compliments we receive don’t match the view we have ourselves, so we don’t think that they can be true! But they are! Why else would someone take the time to give you a compliment if it were not true???
Write It Down In Your Journal Or Notebook!
It doesn’t have to be about your appearance either. Whether you’re praised at work for dealing with a stressful situation or someone compliments you on your parenting skills, write everything down and then look back at them all at the end of the week or when you are having a hard day. I created a notebook journal and am selling it on Amazon! Check it out!
Don’t Compare Yourself To Others!
Stop comparing yourself to others! Block out celeb culture! It’s easy to become obsessed with beautiful TV personalities and those with millions of followers on Instagram. Stop comparing yourself! It’s time to unfollow, remove those bookmarks, and throw out those magazines! 
Being true to yourself and thinking more positively about yourself is so important! I can’t say it enough. Try to find the best qualities in yourself and flaunt them. Be happy with who you are and I promise you will start feeling so much better about life, yourself, and others!
