Self Care is Hard [And Other Obvious Observations]
Sometime this month, I decided I would experiment with actually forcing myself to do nice things for myself. Currently, I'm whitening my teeth because I've let them get yellow again, and I'm thinking about the beauty regimen that awaits me when I get done with this blog post. I'm trying to improve my skin by actually doing what the People that Know recommend. Wash the face more than once a week, use various products, the whole schpeal.
If anyone wants to follow me on Snap Chat, I may be persuaded to share my link on here. Oh, and PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY BLOG lol I mean you're here, you might as well give it a go. You've got nothing to lose.
The problem I have with self care is that it takes up time. My depression requires a large quantity of time to just sit and do nothing. BUT, do I want to keep feeding my depression what it wants? NAH BITCH, you gettin a salad today! So I devote 30ish minutes to myself at night, and 15ish minutes before work. 30plus if I don't have to work that day. I've been Snap Chatting it as sort of a thing to just occupy time and force me to take my time with myself. Did you know you're supposed to wash your face for 60 seconds or something like that? I mean damn, I was taking like 10 seconds maximum.
I kind of stole my order of things from Jackie Aina, a beauty blogger from heaven that I'm super obsessed with lately. Her skin is different than mine, since mine is super dry and she says she has oily skin, so I'm not using the exact products she uses, but I'm using dry skin friendly versions. I'm not sure I notice much of a difference in my skin, but I do notice I'm much more relaxed looking at myself in the mirror than I used to be.
I wonder if I should ever post my Snap Chats on here. They're on my Facebook and my Instagram. Why not here? Other than I don't know how to do OHHH so much.
The other obvious observations are that it's just really hard to love yourself sometimes. But I'm trying.
