Everyone needs a little self care! Below, are some wonderful self care gifts and an Ultimate Beauty List for you! Do ever take a glance at a magazine and instantly find that you’re putting yourself down? Our social media world can feel so saturated with images of perfect poses, straight teeth, beautiful skin, and incredible lighting it’s easy to think that you’re not doing something right.
Right now, with everyone staying home, things can get tricky with finding ANY time to do a little self-care. I know with me, I am not only homeschooling my 3 kids, but I am also the maid, cook, and wife! Some days it feels like I will 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.

I have ideas and tips for not only your physical well-being but your mental wellbeing too. That is just as important, if not MORE so!
Self Care Gifts For You and Yours: The Ultimate Beauty And Wellness List!
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, 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, hair, and mood!

I absolutely LOVE this skincare and just started using it about a week or so ago. I use it every night after my shower. My face is SOOOO soft and just looks so refreshed! I love that it is natural too! A little goes a long way, so this skincare kit will last me a long time!

16. 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, or 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!
17. Ditch The Scale! Self Care Gifts For You: The Ultimate Beauty And Wellness List!
Stop weighing yourself every day! Step away from that damn scale! Did you know that your weight can fluctuate each day (between 2-6lbs)? 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!
18. 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???
19. Write it down in a 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.
Re-reading these compliments will make them feel much truer and give you a more positive outlook on yourself and life. I love using my gorgeous art notebook by Jillian Amatt Designs!
20. 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!
