Love is in the hair 🍃✨ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

With the holidays just around the corner, I was looking for affordable hair care to have on hand while traveling and @finessehaircare Restore + Strengthen Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner is exactly what my hair needs as temps get cooler and my hair gets drier. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
I love how it’s packed with keratin, silk proteins, and camellia oil. Camellia oil is actually a Japanese beauty secret and is typically found in high-end skincare and haircare in the J-Beauty & K-Beauty industry. This left my hair incredibly soft and it smells so fresh! ⁣⁣⁣

It will be available for purchase soon! Pick up a couple of bottles at your local drugstore, such as @walgreens, @RiteAid, or on @amazon

❥ Real Self Care

Alright, new week, are you ready for me – Am I ready for you? 😂 ⁣
⁣
We need to show up for ourselves every single day for us to grow and transform our wounds and worry into tools of strength.
⁣
Real self-care doesn’t always look like a trip to the spa or 🛀 a fancy bubble bath.⁣
⁣⁣
Self-care is such a buzzword these days. Don’t get me wrong, I love bubbles, but I am a mom of four so the chances of me enjoying a routine deep, soaking bath are slim. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These images, which bring awareness, can also leave us feeling like we’re not doing self-care the correct way; we are completely missing the point.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The reality is, self-care isn’t a thing to check off the to-do list. It’s a way of managing the little things, in a way that promotes our wellbeing. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It can be as simple as flossing our teeth. (I know, I know, we’re supposed to do that every day 😂) But the other day, I felt so damn good showing my teeth some love! Yes, even our teeth deserve love.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, if you find yourself comparing your self-care with social media standards, please stop. Care doesn’t have a look; it looks like whatever you NEED at that moment YOU get to decide!⁣⁣

What is missing from this list? I found this image on Pinterest but there are a ton more ideas for real, daily self-care.
