I’m gonna be real – I’ve been so busy my self care game has been seriously lacking! But going into next year my goal is to make time for myself 1 day a week to do one self care thing! I challenge you guys to do the same! Seriously, how you can you put your best self forward if you aren’t taking care of yourself?

The easiest and fastest thing to do on a self-care day for me, is a face mask! I’m going to share some of my favorites along with other favorites to mix it up!

Face Masks

The ultimate self-care product, am I right? See below for some of my favorite:

Sephora Pearl Sheet mask – adds so much radiance to the face!
Clinique Overnight Mask
Sephora Pearl Eye mask – tightens and depuffs the undereye
Mario Badescu Healing and Soothing Mask – so good and doesn’t make me break out. Makes your face look super refreshed!
But before the mask, if I have time, I love going in with my Clarisonic Mia, makes my face feel so fresh and clean!

Lighting a Candle

A candle always puts me into a good, calm mood, plus you get the added benefit of a nice smelling room! <3

Peony Petals Candle
Bath and Body Works Cactus Blossom Candle
Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla Candle
—Lavender is supposed to be a relaxing scent and I do notice that I feel super relaxed after using this candle!

Body Care

Sol De Janeiro Body Mask: Can be used as a scrub or dry mask – smells like heaven!
Sugar Scrub for Lips: I don’t do this daily because I don’t got the time but I love how my lips feel afterwards!
Whitney Simmons for a good sweat sesh!

Hair Care

I actually have a full blog post on this, but two of my faves are the Loreal hair mask and the Garnier sleek oil treatment.

Doing Your Nails or Getting Them Done

I like doing my nails on a Sunday to get them looking cute for the week ahead! My favorite nail polishes are Zoya Portia and Essie Lady Like. These are cute pink “professional” colors that complement medium skin tones really well! I also really like using OPI cuticle oil. Sorry couldn’t find a link! But I saw something saying that Kim Kardashian uses a cuticle oil religiously so I use it too! haha

Reading a Good Book or Watch YouTube

Get the Kindle for iPhone app and then you can buy any book you want on Amazon and send it to your kindle cloud reader. You can check out some of my recommendations here: amazon.com/shop/sayeedah_ Check out the books section

Youtube: Tati – her voice is so calming and I love her reviews! She has a new eyeshadow palette coming out soon that I’m excited for!

& of course my favorite of all…

Shopping!

After every rotation I try to buy myself something I’ve been wanting. Could be something small like a lipstick or something like an eyeshadow palette. What I’ve recently purchased is the Carli Bybel Palette and I can’t wait to do a look with it. She swatched it on YouTube and I was obsessed with the shimmer shades as I feel it isn’t something you can just get anywhere! I should have a review coming soon if I find the time to breathe. What are some new makeup/skincare items that you guys are into?
