Dear February
“TRY NOT TO FORGET ABOUT YOU”
So often we think of everyone else before tending to our own needs. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with caring for others…it can make you feel great and it’s also fulfilling to know that you may have made a difference in someone’s life or even just put a smile on their face. However, it can sometimes feel as if it’s expected of us and we tend to forget about our own needs altogether, putting ourselves in last place. That’s why, whenever there is a little time leftover, it’s important to “treat” ourselves to that overdue bath or massage appointment. Sometimes the tiniest thing like sneaking in a chapter of a great book with a nice cup of tea can be refreshing. At my house, I tend to nurture the soul with gardening and yard work, even if it’s just twenty minutes here and there - I know it sounds crazy but I really find joy and relaxation, as well as, a feeling of accomplishment, really, in contributing to the look of a well maintained yard and a fruitful garden! Don’t get me wrong, I love other kinds of pampering too and have seriously gotten better at taking time out for myself…but like many of us, there is definitely room for improvement.
This month’s journal entry is not dedicated to the loved ones in our lives that will undoubtedly be spoiled this month with romantic gifts and dinners. This one is dedicated to those of us who put themselves on the back burner and is to serve as a reminder… DON’T FORGET TO TAKE CARE OF YOU! Don’t push that well deserved “me time” off to the side for when you have more time, because it may be days or even weeks from now before that “extra” time is available. Sometimes you just have to make self-care time happen and there is no better way to celebrate the month of love than to show YOURSELF a little kindness and love!
In that spirit, get out your calendar and book yourself a mani pedi or a massage. Maybe it’s also time to schedule that acupuncture appointment you’ve been putting off. For those of you fellow gardeners, spring is approaching soon and we can start playing around in the dirt again! Just keep in mind…you have to recharge once in awhile in order to be there for others!
AND, most importantly…when you are really ready to treat yourself, I am here to point you in the right direction!! This month I’m recommending one of these self-care gift boxes: / Soak It / Gift Set for bath lovers or the Body Oil & Body Bar Set.
Once you’ve taken that much needed moment for yourself…feel free to share the gift of relaxation with others… Remember, SeaSoaked Skin products are formulated for both women and men! And here is a promo code to give you that jump start. It’s good through 2/28/2023: DEARFEB20
Happy Love Day from our family to yours!
