ElizaMarie I really enjoy him! :) He is super adorable! 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I used to joke that if my parents got divorced he would be a good step-dad (and husband to my mom). 4y

jb72 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 😂 that‘s awesome! Since he‘s only ten years older than me he could certainly be my main squeeze. 4y

DieAReader 🤣🥰😉 4y

Cheshirecat913 I totally loved watching Diety Jobs. 4y

You all! I‘ve just opened box one of two I have from the amazing and thoughtful @Chrissyreadit ! This is from our club #coffeebeanbookclub! This one is themed “self-care” so it includes face masks, eye pads, a bath bomb, hair mask, some power point balm and some lovely unicorn pins!

Chrissy, you always make me feel so special! I love what you pick out for me. 💕😘💕😘

Also, @Marmie7 I have a package with books going out to you today!

Chrissyreadit Glad you like it! How do you handle not opening them? 4y

Avanders 😍😍😍😍 That coffee looks bomb!! 4y

SamHeartCoffee @Chrissyreadit I save them for extra special pick-me-ups! I did open your most recent one too and also love those gifts! Yay unicorn battery/charger! Will post on those tomorrow! You rock! @Avanders right?!?!?! 4y

Pogue Ravens Brew coffee is so good. 4y

#selfcareBingo

I couldn‘t resist looking at some of my older pics after seeing @ElizaMarie collage. The top pic is Scout the day I brought him home. The bottom pic is Scout today. He thinks he is a person and requires a pillow for his head. I am so blessed to have him today after the tragic accident a year ago which almost took his life. He is still recovering and has a few issues, but doing great. #mybestfriend

ElizaMarie I love him! Thanks for posting! Looking at how tiny my babies were made me super happy (which I needed today) 4y

jb72 @ElizaMarie Thanks! He is such a great dog. So sweet and loving toward me. He is protective too. I am lucky to still have him. 4y

Thanks for the tag @maich

My #SelfcareSaturday is a #SelfcareSunday. 😁
@bianca

- music, the radio, but most often the audiobook of the book I'm reading - immersion into the book

- two cats, Ghost and Shadow. Ghost is very cuddly, Shadow is shy but likes to sit in viewing distance of the action (the reader)

- tea - black, green, herbal,...; No snacks, I might stain my book

@ anyone who'd like to play

maich ❤❤❤ 5y

dylanisreading What great names for cats. Thanks for sharing! 5y

#BFCr3 welcome to week 4!

I applaud all of you who listened to your bodies this last week. We can‘t go full-out 100% of the time. So way to go! Giving yourselves some much needed rest. Rest is just as important as exercising the mind & body.

Let‘s go Team #BFC! 🙌🏻 You got this!
