I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like to feel good about themselves and with how life is forcing us to be back on the grind, it’s important that we create time for ourselves by doing what we want and really focusing on us ( women )
For me, selfcare means a lot more than just the occasional spa day, it’s in the little I do everyday that contributes to that feeling of feeling good
SCENTS
For me, smelling good is a daily mission to create the right positive aura around me. I love fragrances and this is how I channel that side around me
Depending on the day and the mood I have fragrances that give me a boost of confidence or sets me in a sweet sensual mood and this month I’ve been loving Mancera Instant crush which is an amber floral fragrance with notes of vanilla, amber and citrus. It’s really delicious.
I also have a habit of layering my scents with body lotion and the Fenty body butter is a lush rich moisturiser I’ve been enjoying with my Nest Fragrance body oil perfume yum!
SKINCARE
When you look good, you feel good and for me that starts with feeling good with my skin . I’ve shared my struggles with acne and even though my skin is nowhere near perfect I find that I’ve seen tremendous improvement when I started being consistent with my skincare routine.
One great addition to my routine has been Paula’s choice 2% BHA exfoliant which contains salicylic acid. Because of how it softens debris in the pores and removes dead skin to reveal healthier skin, I can say that it’s really a game changer!
MAKEUP
I Say makeup is therapeutic and it is for me. Over the years my makeup style has shifted to more of a minimal routine and one designed to enhance as opposed to transform.
I recently added a hybrid foundation, the Nars reflecting foundation to my routine , hybrid because it has great skincare benefits. You can see my review here
I love nude, clean looks which definitely adds to the little ways I take care of myself.
How would you be adding self care to your daily life?
I’m going to share more self care habits on the blog but in the interim you check out how I like to destress in the new year
Happy International women’s day all year round.
Loved any of the products mentioned in today’s post?
I like the therapeutic side to makeup, and you just saying it actually gave me a second view at the dexterity of makeup. The fenty skincare is simply a touch of class. Thanks for always giving us awesome articles. Keep it up Ray

Thank you. Yes the Fenty body butter is a little jar of luxury. Thanks for stopping by xoxo
Love the Paula’s choice exfoliant and I keep hearing good things about Nars foundation. I can’t wait to get my hands on a bottle of my own.
I’m on the same wave length as you with self care especially now that I’m back in the office full time. I have to make time for me to feel sane. This was a lovely read.
