A 'Stay Home Order' Guide to Self Care
Updated: Apr 21, 2020
Like so many of us, I am stuck at home and am quickly running out of ideas for things to do. I am a believer that the more we fill our days with the things that feel good, the less stressed and anxious we will be.
Here are 5 ways to practice self-care & bring joy into the world:
#1 Give yourself a mani or pedi (or even better-both!)
I insist of having my nails done on a regular basis because it always makes me feel so much more put together and polished but now my bi-weekly salon trip is 6 weeks past due and these talons are not looking too hot. Here are some of my go-to’s for at home nail care:
Deborah Lippmann Cuticle Lab Kit: https://amzn.to/2VxMqa1
Essie Gel Couture Long Wear Nail Polish: https://amzn.to/2VehXyx
FNX Resilience Collagen Gummies: https://fnxfit.com/products/resilience-gummies?_pos=1&_sid=6242f1e58&_ss=r
#2 Fake a tan
A sweet friend of mine recently sent me a bronzing gel, and at first, I was waiting to try it for when I would actually be out and about with appointments and events, but then I realized I deserve to glow even when I’m camped out at my house. Here’s the amazing product I received & loved:
You should definitely try this one for yourself! Megan is very generously offering you all a discount using this link:
#3 Nourish your locks with a hair mask or deep treatment & collagen gummies

#5 Read a book
I can hardly stand to admit it, but it has been ages since I’ve physically read an actual, real- life book. With so many amazing podcasts and audible, my books come in the form of spoken words. I recently joined a book club and I am forcing myself to slow down and read the actual book and I LOVE it! Here are some of the books I’ll be reading this year:
1. Evvie Drake Starts Over: A Novel: Linda Holmes
2. Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed | Lori Gottlieb
3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel | Taylor Jenkins Reid
4. Such A Fun Age | Kiley Reid
How have you been taking care of your self during this time of isolation and uncertainty? I'd love to hear your tips!! Warmly,
