Self Care During the Holidays đ
Â
Is the holiday season starting to give you some stress? When youâre busy taking care of everyone else, sometimes you forget to take care of yourself.Â
This week weâre focusing on self care during the holidays. Here are some doable self-care tips.
Self-Care Tip #1: Keep warm with a mug of hot cocoa
Â
Letâs start with your diet. The best way to prevent the adverse effects of stress is to stick to your healthy diet goals. Start with warming yourself up with hot cocoa.

Self-Care Tip #2: Quench your thirst with a healthy smoothie

But if some days you find yourself craving for a smoothie, steer clear from the unhealthy and sugar-laden versions.

Self-Care Tip #3: Treat yourself to a healthy delicious meal
Thereâs just something ultra cozy about warm butternut squash.
In particular I love a delicious pasta carbonara with butternut squash bites, but letâs not limit butternut squash to just dinner.
Â
Self-Care Tip #4: Soak in a hot bath
Â
Soaking in a hot bath not only soothes those tired muscles. It is also one great way to give yourself some pampering time.
Make this self-care routine even more indulgent by using all-natural Susanâs Soaps. A couple of my favorite items are Whipped Body Butter and her luxurious Face Masque.
Â
Self-Care Tip #5: Take some YOU time to read a happy Christmas or Holiday book
The holidays can indeed take a toll on yourself, especially if youâre among the many who easily tend to forget the word âmeâ in Merry after all the stressful shopping and holiday planning.
Sit down and grab your favorite book. If you havenât got anything to read yet, I highly recommend one of my favorite holiday books - "The Christmas Trainâ by David Baldacci.
