Most of my (positive) daily self-care comes down to some time spent writing or journaling. There are plenty of other things I could (and should) be doing though.
I love this so much!! Oh yeah, I was a total eyebrow plucker after my older sister felt it was her duty to inform me, "Your eyebrows look like caterpillars". My self care...been doing it since 9th grade (which was 75-76), lip color, mascara, pluck stray brows. That's my routine, and I'm sticking to it.
The first year after my husband died, I got up every single day and applied makeup, which was the last thing I felt like doing. It was a powerful statement to make for myself, and self care indeed. Beautifully said and a great reminder, Holly!
Funny you should be talking eyebrows, because it's the first time in weeks that I remembered to give myself eyebrows. I'm (ahem) old enough that they are basically non-existent. And not because of fictitious over-plucking. I really don't need to shave my legs as much, either (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325416). I'm OK with that. Thanks for your blog. I too am in the process of making changes
Eyebrows I just... wow. Like, they're an artform.

Eyebrows are EVERYTHING. Love seeing your process. 💗
“We all know what we need to do—if only we would do it.” Yep! But I find I get by doing MOST of the things MOST of the time.
I LOVE putting on makeup including penciling in some extra eyebrow. I haven’t skipped a day in decades. It is too much fun to skip!
