I know you’ve probably read dozens of articles about self-care regimens. Well, listen up! If you’re like me, work and school take up your schedule to the point where you don’t have time to yourself. It can be very beneficial to have a self-care kit full of items to help you relax.
Choose The Correct Kit
We all focus on the tools we put in this self care-kit, but we don’t focus enough of our time on the physical appeal of the kit. What type of kit do you like? Bags, baskets, or bins! Appearances matter when it comes to things like this. I personally like gift baskets because it makes me feel like I’m in a spa.
Essential Oils
I love essential oils because they smell amazing, and they have different benefits. Aromatherapy is one of them! Here are some popular essential oils:
- Insomnia- Lavender and Chamonile
- Headaches- Orange, Ylang Ylang, and Marajom
- Dry Skin- Lavender and Tea Tree
- Distracted- Peepermint and Lemon
- Sore Throat- Lemon, Thyme, and Oregano
- Stressed- Eycalptus and Lavender
candles
Candles can help you focus more on yourself instead of the outside world. They are very soothing! You can find candles almost anywhere. My favorite plces to find candles are Bath and Body Works, TJ Maxx, and Burlington’s. Warning: DO NOT LIGHT CANDLES IF YOU USE HAND-SANITIZERS.
Books
The phrase “knowledge is power” is highly underrated. I don’t care how old you get, but make sure you read at least one book every year. Books allow us to enter a world that’s not usually talked about, it’s completed ignored, and most people don’t want to talk about it. I’m currently reading Moon Walker by Micheal Jackson.
snacks
I love food! I keep almonds and almond yogurt in my refrigerator. Of course, I have my cheat snacks because I’m human, but it’s important to eat healthy snacks for nutrition purposes. I also recommend buying small packages to not overeat.
