Welcome to Litsy!

May #selfcare bingo.

I just realized that I have not yet posted a #selfcarebingo update for January! 😱
I‘ve done quite a bit and even have a bingo!

1. I like that I‘m artistic.
2. Tagging three amazing women #bfc brought into my life. You guys are the most caring supportive friends.
3. This weekend I will take a bubble bath, so a face mask, and deep condition my hair.
#BFCgiveaway

1. I love that I‘m great at communicating and puzzling out ideas! I‘m smart and get my ideas across.
2. Gonna copy but I‘ve gotta tag my girls: @StayCurious @IndoorDame @Hufflepuffle . A random BFC group to led me to some dear friends. They are encouraging, funny, and a delight. I‘ve never felt so supported. 💕💕
3. Spending one hour Saturday with my weighted blanket, book, and tea - NO PHONE. #BFCgiveaway

1. Hardest question ever... I like my weird, geeky, silly side that only comes out with people I fully trust.
2. @StayCurious @IndoorDame @Hestapleton I had to tag all three of these wonderful people. They are all lovely, super supportive and I always know I can be honest with them without any judgement 💜
3. I commit to having a long hot bath with a Lush bath bomb, a good book and probably some leftover Halloween chocolate 🛁 📖 🍫

Hello all! I‘m working on a resource list for work, what are your favorite books on body positivity or self care? 🦋🌻

Never done one of these before but I love me some self improvement. So let‘s start!

Reading Goals: My reading in August, for lack of a better word, sucked. Only read Managed to read 2 books because I finished Cruel Prince in one day. So my goal is simply to read at least a book a week to try and get back into my groove.

#SelfImprovementSept

#Bfcr2 final ✔

Met my book goal of 7 books! Didn't make the other goals, but hey, life happens. Happy self-care Sunday, littens. #teamnewbie @wanderinglynn @bookishbelle @BookBridget @Honeybeegirl @jmtrivera @mc916 @Econaghan @laurar311 @WriterAtHeart

Today is #SelfCareDay. I hope each of you takes some time today for some self-care. Self-care is different for each of us, but it‘s super important that we each take time for it.

From https://www.selfcareday.com –

“On July 24th, Self-Care Day, and everyday, Crisis Text Line wants you make time for what matters.”

For all my #BFC participants, please take some #SelfCareTime today, whatever that looks like for you. 💜
#BookFitnessChallenge #BFCr2

Yesterday was only another 1/2 mile day (damn you legs) and today was stretches and ending the evening with gentle chair yoga thanks to a resource from @mcipher #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge

I‘ve been having a great #SelfCareSunday , watching Supernatural, painting my nails a beautiful matte blue and doing a facial and lip scrub! I also colored my hair blue and will post a picture when you can see it better!! #springintoreading @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

1 - Hopefully a vacation. We're thinking about a road trip to Canada.
2 - I'm adventurous! I don't get to do it as much as I like, but I'm a hop on a plane to a foreign country without so much as a hotel booked type.
3 - I work really hard and I'm good at my job
4 - @PerksOfBeingABookworm This topic is timely 🤗

Day 30 Self Care

I feel like post about the same things ALL the time *yawn* but my "self care" time usually involves a book, playing my sax or going out for a walk with my camera ?

#gratitude30

I don't care what anyone says, Litsy is self-care.

Gratuitous stray cats on my patio picture #straysoflitsy

I was sent a copy of The Self-Care Project by The Blurt Foundation! Super excited to read this one!
