What would you ideal self care day consist of?
How to have an amazing self care day
I’ve got to admit this. I’m not the greatest example of knowing how to achieve self care on a daily basis. But then, how many moms of little children really know how to find time for a self care day?

Then there’s also setting aside one day a week every month or so and really going all out and consciously doing the things you’re unable to do on a daily basis.
