Self-care::
Let me be so incredibly for real with you.
I don't think it's any surprise that when you work through social media, it can absolutely reak havoc on your self worth and confidence. It makes your "good" days feel subpar, and if you're not hooting and hollering about the next big thing that you're doing, you're not doing anything...
I've been in this social selling world for a decade. Been a part of the ins and outs. Hype AF about the big things, and have accomplished some incredible things, and I still fully fall victim of feeling less than when I'm not doing all of the things, being all of the places, and doing wild photo ops, sharing my family with any Susie, Martha and Beth on the interwebs.
But here's the real thing about that....
•I've spent years traveling... And quite honestly, no place makes me happier than being home with my family and fur babies, so unless I'm undoubtedly needed somewhere, I probably won't be showing up.

•It makes me sick to my stomach when people use their children as a pillar of their content shares, especially when that child is not old enough to consent, and even more so in these times of "saving the children" but it's seemingly ok to exploit them and put them in the crossfires of the Internet for a buck. So I won't do it.
&&&&
•I am still struggling to find balance between working/momming/maintaining a 100yr old house when something seems to take a dookie every other week that causes me to spiral into how it's going to be the one thing to cause these walls to collapse.
With all of that being said, I have put ME on the back burner.
So we are getting back on track.
• going to get back to sharing my makeup and skincare tips, tricks and goodies.
• back to taking my wellness seriously
• become a little more unfiltered when it comes to things that bring me joy, even if they're perceived as "weird".
• giving myself grace in knowing that being uncomfortable is the first step of many to doing the hard things a little more easily
I genuinely have not felt like myself in a long time, and I'm working my ass off on getting back to HER. ❤️
Stick around. 🫶

In today's fast-paced digital age, prioritizing self-care has never been more critical. Social media often inundates us with curated portrayals of perfection, which can negatively impact our self-esteem and mental health. The pressure to continuously showcase a picture-perfect life can lead to feelings of inadequacy and burnout. To combat this, individuals are turning toward realistic self-care practices, focusing on genuine joy rather than social validation. One effective strategy is to establish personal boundaries around social media use, ensuring that your online experience remains positive and uplifting. Engaging with content that promotes wellness, such as makeup and skincare routines, can help restore a sense of individuality and creativity. Furthermore, acknowledging and embracing vulnerability plays a significant role in self-care; sharing authentic experiences fosters deeper connections and mutual support among communities. Using care products like the 'COLD HOT BELLAME BAOBAB BODY POLISH' not only enhances your skincare routine but also serves as a self-nurturing practice. By investing time in activities that bring you joy, whether it's skincare or spending quality time with loved ones, you're taking crucial steps towards maintaining balance in life. Remember, self-care is not selfish; it's a fundamental part of nurturing your well-being.
