Shout out to Parks and Recreation fans, I hope you’ll catch the reference 😉 Let’s take a moment to think of Ben Wyatt and how emotional and happy his treat yo’ self purchase made him when he was feeling bummed out.
If you read my recent posts, you know I’ve had a pretty crappy summer in terms of migraines so I wanted today’s post to be about self-care. Even if you don’t live with a chronic disorder such as migraine, self-care works wonders for stress, self-image, interpersonal relationships, and overall happiness.

This post is brilliant! I find doing light exercise and listening to loud music helps me to feel better. Will definitely be trying some others that you’ve suggested out in the future!
