2019 Christmas Gift Guide for the Self Care Queen
The truth is that stress is evident everywhere in our fast-paced world.⠀⠀
▪️ Stress to earn a certain amount of money;
▪️ Stress to have the ‘perfect’ Instagram feed;
▪️ Stress to make others happy;
And the list goes on...😫
Due to this, it's all too often that we hear, "I don't have time for that!", when it comes to caring for our mind, body and soul. This means that self care is often the first thing to fall to the wayside in our busy schedule.
Moving forward, we have to start recognising the fact that if we are constantly telling ourselves that we are too busy to look after ourselves, we are ALWAYS going to be too busy, no matter how busy we truly are.
So, before you scroll down, block out a moment in your day to focus on boosting your mood. In the gorgeous words of Meredith Gaston, "Give yourself permission to sparkle." ✨
Seriously though...when's the last time you put any time aside to doing something you truly enjoy? A 15 minute break is the simplest thing you can do to re-energise and re-focus. Maybe like me, online shopping relaxes you? If so, this is the perfect gift guide for you!
Yes, the festive season can be stressful, but it doesn’t need to be. This Christmas, why not take care of yourself, as well as your friends and family?
If you've been searching high and low for the perfect gift for someone who needs some quality 'me time', today I bring a list of holiday gifts perfect for the aspiring Self Care Queen in your life.
And as an extra special gift, I’ve partnered with a handful of businesses to bring you some exclusive discounts, so keep an eye out for these below!
