Self-care. What do you think of when you hear or say those words? A day at the spa? A weekend away? Something that doesn't happen very often? 🤔

As a single mom, that term was never really part of my regular vocabulary when my kids were growing up. It wasn't until a few years ago that I adopted it as part of my life. But what does self-care consist of?

It could be something as simple as getting an extra hour of sleep or simply staying in bed a little longer because you're tired. 💤

It could be taking a long, hot bath while reading a silly or steamy romance novel. 🛁📖

Maybe it's as simple as taking a trip to Target by yourself without a time limit so you can roam the aisles freely. 😍🎯

Or in my case this past week, it was finally getting the balls to do something crazy with my hair without the need for anyone's opinion or approval. 🤘🏼🤩💜

Never in my life have I made such a bold and drastic change without consulting with the most important people in my life. Doing it brought a whole new level of confidence and zero-f**ks-given type of freedom that I never knew existed. Do I care what people think? Of course I do. I wouldn't be human if I didn't admit that. Am I done letting that stop me from doing the things that bring me joy? Hell to the yeah. 😎

Here's to doing whatever the hell YOU want as a form of self care. Do it. You'll thank yourself. 💕🥰
