My almost completed self care bingo. Zero chance I will do a face mask so I‘m calling it. #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers #SelfCare

I got another self care bingo today!! I did something “creative” by working on a book journal and bought myself a little gift of craft supplies! #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021

July #selfcare.

June self care bingo. @ElizaMarie

Guess I‘m doing okay! Still have a ways to go though. I have to actually think of things I‘m doing as self-care as I‘m doing them, not just after the fact. That would make a difference. Thanks Eliza for all your efforts to encourage us to be good to ourselves. 💕

#SelfCareBingo
I did it great.
Just remember that I bought 1 plant similar to aloe (forgot the name🙈) but I'm not sure if is count for Buy yourself a flowers. Usually I pick flowers while I walking. I love wild flowers.

I got a Self-care Bingo! Yay! I have been taking walks outside in the sun, cleaning up my sewing room, taking some decorations down and trying to organize them, took a nap last week - was really tired, watched funny videos of my crafty friends, and played Banagrams with my daughter! Feeling good today, just hanging out before making dinner.

2 more self-care bingos this week! 41 points #wintergames #wintergames2020 #teamreadnosedreindeer @StayCurious

#selfcarebingo 1 bingo per card! 31 points #wintergames #wintergames2020 #teamreadnosedreindeer @StayCurious

I got a Bingo! @ElizaMarie My husband made flavored coffee in the middle of the day! That‘s as close to a coffee date that we will get, so I‘m claiming it! #WinterGames #MerryReaders #SelfcareBingo

Time for the self care part of this weekends #readathon! I can‘t resist a fun face/lip/eye mask! Audiobook of Tin Man is playing, pumpkin spice tea has been poured and the first mask is on! 🧖🏻‍♀️ ☕️ 🎧

#CYOReadathon @Sace

#selfcaresunday Have you ever cancelled plans to read? I‘ve called in sick to work so I could stay home and finish a book I was really into. And there‘s been times I‘ve been out and wished I would‘ve just stayed home to read. Anyway, I saw this on Insta and thought I‘d share 😌

I was so inspired by my #AdventCalendar (first ever) to get 12 more days worth of #SelfCare to round out my 24 days of Christmas. The bling #Starbucks cup is to entice me to drink water everyday. And I‘ll have one piece of chocolate a day as well :)

Go #TeamNutcracker !!! ❄️ #WinterGames

Thanks @ljuliel for the tag.

With everything I have going on in my life right now I am struggling to find time for self-care.... so today I am going to take the time to read! #self-caresunday #selfimprovementsunday @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620

Thanks for the tag @Chrissyreadit ! I think that this would be an enjoyable self care day for me. I would get up real early to go fishing at one of my favorite spots. Nothing clears my head and relaxes me like fishing. Then I would get @cobwebmoth for some coffee and conversation, and a sushi lunch. We could go to a local book store, I could sneak a nap in a convenient hammock, and then a nice river walk and dinner at the Beehive Tavern.

Big karate show today but before the makeup here is my #nofilter #nomakeup selfie for the #bfcr2.

A black belt is just a white belt that never gave up.

A little something to help you on your journey 💕

#selfcare

Started the day with a hair cut and color, then took a beautiful walk, now having a healthy shake for lunch... it is a self-care kind of day!!! 😊

It‘s been a while, thought I‘ll treat myself today.

I took a shower and have been reading in any spare minutes I have, encouraged by my partner. I also made some Sourdough from a week old starter, inspired by the book Sourdough!
I feel like I need a nice hot bath so I'm planning on getting one when the boys are asleep.
Tired, but much better than I have been! A hot bath will help.
#selfcaresunday

Despite it being New Years Eve I haven't forgotten!
1. Here's a photo of my lunch. Might not look much to many but when you have 2 little ones and have mostly existed on cheese sandwiches for the past 4 months a good meal is a big thing.
2. The picture is my resolution. To take more time over my food, and cut out all the bread! I've been doing it for 3 days now and I already feel loads better.
#happynewyear
#selfcaresunday

1. All photos of food made in the last week.
2. I love to get out for a walk in nature.
3. I did several loads of laundry today.
4. Will do!

#selfcaresunday

#selfcaresunday
1. Today we cleaned and organized around the house. I baked muffins with some overripe bananas that were otherwise going to go to waste. And now I‘m watching my team (the Patriots) play football.
2. Reading or baking.
3. I will do some grading and go through a stack of mail.

Great idea @miralunasbooknook 🧘‍♀️😃

1. I go to yoga 5-6 days a week, one of my favorite #metime activities. Today I‘m aiming for 3 classes in one day: restorative, stretch, and Yoga Nidra. One down, two to go. All 3 are deeply relaxing and restorative.
2. 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽I also love to hike and spend time in nature. And read!
3. Write up my Monday to-do list in my #bujo
4. 👍🏻

#selfcaresunday

1. Don‘t have a photo to post, but I finally got my (biannual) hair cut earlier this week. 💇🏻‍♀️ Thankfully my stylist gives a great cut that grows in well over the 6 months between visits.
2. Reading! Followed by Netflix (usually TV comedies I know & love like The Office, New Girl, Parks & Rec).
3. Laundry, some cooking/food prep. 5 work days till the winter break! I can do this. 🤞🏼
4. 👍🏼👌🏼💪🏼
#selfcaresunday

Here's my #selfcaresunday post!
Currently cooking. It's something I love to do but rarely find the time to do it. I'm making a circular veggie pot pie! Saw the recipe on Kristen Bells instagram page 😂
Also going to make mince pie twists after this. Yum! 😋
There'll be some left over to enjoy next week! Also got Planet Rock radio on. ✊
Thanks so much for being an awesome community, and holding each other up in this sometimes terrifying world.

1. I went to a play with a friend. That‘s a picture of the set. It was lots of fun!
2. Always reading, with coffee or tea. 📚☕️Or running 🏃🏻‍♀️
3. Grocery shopping after meal planning for the week.
4. I will!👍🙌
#selfcaresunday

1. Went and got my nails done on Thursday.
2. Watching tv, reading, relaxing on the couch
2. Going to church and out to lunch for my moms bday and trying not to think about tomorrow! But only 5 work days until winter break and 10 days off!
4. 👌ok! #selfcaresunday

1. I spent a day in Washington DC, wandering through the Renwick Gallery and eating lunch at my favorite restaurant.
2. Either long drives with audiobooks or curling up in a pile of blankets with my dogs and books.
3. I‘m taking a little jaunt to the bookstore. 😂😂
4. I love this! I‘m on it.
