Self-care has become SUCH a buzzword the past couple years. Which is AWESOME, because it is truly great!—But, it also incorporates much, much more than a bubble bath and face mask (though, we love that to!). It’s all about caring for your mental, emotional, and physical aspects of your health so you keep changing the world and living your most empowered, confident life.
Here are PLENTY of options for your self-care practices to try out this weekend and into the next week!

-Coping mechanisms
-Checking in with yourself
