Beauty Beyond Basic

Let’s reframe self-care as self-compassion.

As a way to let go of self-judgement and criticism and embrace your life with kindness and understanding, knowing that to suffer, fail and to be imperfect is completely, perfectly human.

A multi-step breakfast routine that involves 12 kinds of superfoods and a holistic nutrition degree. Or hours set aside each day to meditate, journal and work out.

Yes, these are options within the practice of self-care, but they don’t represent the only way to care and nourish yourself.

When you look around the interweb, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that self-care requires a long soak in a tub filled with flower petals and crystals.
