Self-Care Christmas

Hey Sisters!

During Christmas time 2020, my husband asked me to give him some ideas of things I may want as gifts. As I have gotten older, it has been a little harder to create a wish list because I am mostly satisfied with what I already have. But hubby insisted I give him a list. I started thinking about my priorities for this year. I remembered one of my priorities is self care.

I began an Amazon wish list of some things I could use during my moments of self-care. My hubby ended up surprising me with a self-care Christmas.

I will share beauty care ideas that you can place on your self-care ideas list in this post.

Self-Care For Your Face

Skincare is one of my favorite self-care activities. There is so much that you can do! You can try a face cleanser with a face brush, face mask, exfoliate with a face scrub, utilize serums, and so on. 

Benefits include

  • Maintains healthy, elastic, shiny skin
  • Maintains youthful-looking skin
  • Prevents acne breakouts and scarring
  • Boosts your self-confidence when you are comfortable with your skin

One of my Christmas Day gifts was a facial brush.

My favorite features of my beauty care brush are

  • Make-up Sponge that massages and cleans the skin
  • Massage Head that massage acupoints and blends moisturizer in the skin
  • Coarse Brush that clears up dirt on the face.

Self-Care For Your Hands

The next idea that I have for you ladies is a manicure! Because we use our hands so much, it is vital to show them some TLC. 

Here are some ideas:

  • Go to the nail salon. 
  • At home, remove nail polish, soak hands and give yourself a spa experience with heated beauty mitts. They will leave your hands silky smooth and prepare them for your manicure. The True Glow by Conair Heated Beauty Hand Mitts is one of my favorite gifts I received for Christmas.
  • Groom your fingernails with a nail kit and apply your favorite polish at home.
  • Groom your fingernails with a nail kit and apply press on/glue on nails at home. My favorite brand is Kiss. The Kiss Products Store on Amazon has beautiful selections. 

Self-Care For Your Feet

If you are going to do a manicure, why not also do a pedicure. Pedicures are great for keeping your feet soft and healthy in appearance.

 Here are some ideas:

  • Go to the nail salon.
  • At home, remove nail polish, wash, and soak your feet using a foot spa, like this popular one on Amazon.
  • Groom your toenails with a nail kit and apply your favorite polish at home.

Self-Care For Your Whole Body

Also, consider taking a bath. Baths are very relaxing and calming. Utilize bath bombs, essential oils, Epsom/bath salts, and bubble baths. Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath is a highly rated brand that includes pure Epsom salt and a lavender scent.

Besides adding products to your bath; also consider lighting some candles and playing your favorite chill tunes.

After your bath, it’s also calming to put on body oil or lotion. The Aromatherapy brand by Bath & Body Works is great for after a bath or shower.

While I’m doing any self-care activity, I enjoy burning a candle or diffusing essential oils.

For Christmas, I received an affordable diffuser and some essential oils that work great.

The kit I received included:

  • Lemongrass for calmness & clarity
  • Peppermint for concentration & clear thinking
  • Orange for optimism & peace
  • Lavender for cognitive functions & alertness 
  • Eucalyptus for optimism & concentration
  • Tea tree for mental strength & calmness

The different benefits are valuable!

In Conclusion

I encourage you to make self-care a priority this year. These ideas are just a few of many out there to practice.

This post is just the first of many self-care posts in this series.

Before you go, let’s make a commitment right now to normalizing self-care in our lives. Not just for 2021, but from here forward.

Type “I’m In!” in the comments below if you’re ready to commit to regular self-care. 

I’ll start first,

I’m In!

Until next time, take CARE of yourself!
