When it comes to self-care, I’ll be the first to admit that I could be a lot better at it. Between working multiple jobs, being a mom and a wife, and just trying to maintain my sanity (kidding, sort of), it can be challenging. Sometimes I am on the go all day long, and don’t have a chance to relax until 10pm at night. Definitely not a sustainable practice, but it’s where I am in life right now. With that in mind, it’s essential for me to come up with easy ways to incorporate self-care into my daily routine that are not particularly time consuming.
There seems to be a misconception when it comes to self-care, particularly that it should cost a pretty penny and is an all-or-nothing act. By this I mean to escape all of life’s worries and problems and tune out the world for a while. While that sounds amazing, it’s just not realistic for most people. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time to run off to a spa and spend the day. I’m always looking for easy ways to take care of myself when I have an extra 30 minutes here or there, and wanted to share my top 4 today with you.
4 Easy Ways to Incorporate Self-Care Into Your Daily Routine
- Take a few minutes to just breathe. This one sounds super simple and maybe even a little silly. You’re probably thinking, “I already do that” or “why would this be first on the list?” It’s something I thought I was doing a lot more of until recently. I finally took the plunge and got an Apple watch, and man does it keep me accountable! There is an app called Breathe that helps me slow down and a minute to breathe. This can easily be done without the help of an app, of course, and something that can make a huge difference in our mood!
- Throw on a face mask! Using a good clay mask is absolutely one of my favorite ways to incorporate self-care into my day. I recently tried the new Olay Fresh Reset Mask and it was love at first swipe! Usually masks can be time consuming because of the mess that is made applying and removing them. The Olay Clay Stick Masks come in an easy to apply stick that takes just a few minutes to apply. They are formulated with glycerin which helps provide moisture to your skin while removing impurities. This also ensures the mask doesn’t fully dry on the skin, making them easy to remove as well. And bonus – the new Olay Fresh Reset Mask is available at Walmart!
- Read. Read anything – a book, a magazine, an uplifting article on your phone. This is one thing that I’ll admit I do not do enough of. Swapping out social media for a good book is always a good idea.
- Enjoy your favorite beverage. This could be hot tea, an overpriced coffee, or even just a glass of water with lemon. For me, there’s nothing better than snuggling up in a cozy blanket with a hot cup of coffee, especially while relaxing with a mask on!

The pieces I am wearing above are both from Danny Hart Design. Danny is a fellow born and raised New Mexican. He worked for many years as a carpenter before transitioning into making lifestyle accessories. Every piece that he makes is completely handcrafted. One of the the coolest things about Danny is that he is basically a one man show, and creates each piece in the comfort of his own home studio.

When overalls made a comeback, I wasn’t sure I could pull them off. I was worried I’d never find a pair that would be long enough, and those they would accentuate my curves in some unfortunate ways. I have

Happy Tuesday friends! Can you believe we are already almost a week into November? I am a total broken record, but where did this year go? I’m definitely not sad to see Halloween go, and am excited for the holidays, but whoa it’s almost 2019. Let that sink in for a minute. I have been having a lot of fun putting together my monthly hits and misses, and definitely plan to keep it going next year. Ready to see what products made the list for October?
First up for the hits is the 
I am excited to report that October really did not have any true misses! The Captain Blankenship sea salt spray that I mentioned earlier comes in two other shades: 
Happy first day of November! I can’t even believe I just typed that because seriously, where the heck has this year gone? We aren’t big Halloween fans, but did have a really good day yesterday. Would you believe my child has never been trick or treating? We asked her if she wanted to this year, but she said she wanted to hand out candy at home instead (my kind of girl!). She also opted out of dressing up as a witch like she originally planned (again, my kind of girl haha!). Now it’s November and we are onto bigger and better things aka Thanksgiving and Christmas!
