I take pride in the fact that my self-care day essentials are inexpensive, long-lasting, and always at my fingertips. I'm highlighting the items I used on my most recent self-care day (as pictured above). Keep reading to learn more about each tool!
Essential Oil Diffuser
My essential oil diffuser is great for setting a relaxing atmosphere. I love using my favorite oils, lavender and lemon. My diffuser also has a color-changing function, which is soothing to look at during my self-care time.
Green Tea
On my self-care days, I love a cup of green tea with a capful of lemon. Green tea is full of antioxidants and has lots of health benefits overall. I like how relaxing the experience of drinking tea is--how it forces me to slow down and be present in the moment.
Candle
Candles set the mood for peace and relaxation. This particular candle is Earl Grey and Berry scent. I believe aromatherapy is an essential part of any self-care day.
(I purchased this candle at Ross for $7.99)
Book
Any book will do for my self-care day, but I recently purchased Wisdom From a Humble Jellyfish by Rani Shah. It’s a book about self-care rituals and lessons from nature. It’s been on my “to be read” list for a while, and I’m excited to read it finally. It’s perfect for a self-care day.
