Let’s get into it!
1. Start writing in a journal!
The 5 Minute Journal
Nat SWEARS by this journal! She absolutely loves it. All it takes is 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night to express some gratitude!
2. Try dry brushing
Dry Brush
Maura has introduced all of us girls to dry brushing! It is meant to be an excellent tool for exfoliating, and overall blood circulation! Make sure to use it before you shower for silky-smooth skin.
3. Give yourself a manicure
Nail Kit
Don’t have time to hit the nail salon? No problem! You can give yourself a manicure at home, or on the go with this gel nail polish kit! Laura and Elizabeth recently just purchased one, and they are hooked!
4. Get your tan on!
Self Tanner
We all know that a fresh tan makes you feel 10 times better. Who has the time to tan outside all day? This self tanner will get you looking sun kissed while ensuring you won’t get a sun burn in the process ;)
5. Hydrate your hair
Hair Mask
Your hair deserves some extra TLC too! Just pop in this hair mask 5 minutes before your shower and your hair will feel like butter when you get out — silky smooth!
6. Give yourself a blow out!
Shark FlexStyle
Who said you need the Dyson to give yourself a salon grade blow out? This Shark FlexStyle kit will do the trick! And guess what — it is more than half the price of the Dyson AirWrap!! How could you not give this a go?
7. Relax, take a bath!
Bath Caddy
Time to light some candles and draw up some bubbles for a serene nighttime bath. Unwind and relax with a cup of wine while you watch your favourite show in the tub with this bath caddy. It doesn’t get much more peaceful than that!
8. Give your face a little love
Rose Quartz Face Roller
The feeling of running a rose quartz roller across your face has to be one of the best. Especially right before bed once you have completed your nighttime skin routine! We know you all probably have a face roller or gua sha that you forgot about. Pull that baby back out and start rolling!
9. Listen b*tch, you are AMAZING!!
Affirmation Journal
Words of affirmation baby! They do wonders! Remember to be kind to yourself! You are all bad-ass women and don’t you forget it! This journal prompts/gives you daily affirmations, and helps you start the day on the right track.
10. Give yourself an at home massage!
Massage Gun
And of course, we cannot forget about the beloved muscle massage gun. There is nothing better than using one of these after a long and busy day! All you need to do is use it for a minimum of 5 minutes, and it will have you feeling better than ever! ;)
