In the past couple of days I got my brows done, hair trimmed, took a real bath, and had my (not) yearly dental cleaning. Weirdly I didn’t even mean to schedule them all at the same week, I guess that’s just been my mood.
I’ve never been a big “self care” girl. Not into face masks and never get pedicures or whatever. But I think I was wrong for that!
Yeah it’s dumb and barely noticable. But the RITUAL, the psychological ripple effect of taking care of yourself with no payout beyond your own indulgence. Maybe you feel more special when you treat yourself with the care you would treat something special.
