2020 Self Care

December 6, 2020

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx, thank you for supporting the brands we partner with as they help support us!

2020 has been a weird year, to say the least. For me, it was a time to reflect on what really mattered and get comfortable in my space. I had to find things to do to pass the time. Figure out ways to do things at home that I would usually do outside of the home. One of the fun things for me this year has been testing out different products that made self-care + staying at home a little bit easier. I’m happy to be partnering with Babbleboxx to try out some new products that will make continuing to stay at home even easier! 

 

Stress + lack of sleep definitely played a role in my everyday life this year. Finding ways to help that with products I enjoy has been kind of cool. One of the ways I have really taken a look at this year to help me relax and sleep better is CBD. 

Green Roads Relax Bears are the best-tasting CBD Gummies on the market. Each adorable bear delivers 10mg of soothing CBD  in a mouth-watering sweet n’ sour gummy. If you are looking for something to take the edge off during the day, a Relax Bear may be for you! They are delicious first of all and a great way to incorporate CBD as part of your daily wellness routine. I like to use CBD right before I hit that afternoon slump. I’m able to stay focused and on task. 

I also take CBD before bed and I was so intrigued to start trying out the Sweet Sleep Nightly Dose! They’re single-serve packets that are easy to keep in or on your nightstand and take one about 30 minutes before you’re ready to sleep! Their sleep formula takes the guesswork out of Melatonin, CBD, and CBN because it’s all in each sachet! CBN is a cannabinoid with special properties that make it perfect for sleep oil! CBD helps regulate your natural stress response which makes this blend perfect for sleep!

This is maybe what I was most excited to try, DRY CLEANING AT HOME!!! What? Yes! Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaning works in your own dryer in 15-30 minutes. It saves up to 90% of the cost of dry cleaning and you don’t even need to leave the house and wait a few days to get your items back! This is definitely going to be something that stays with me long after 2020 is over. It protects colors and restores the shape, as well as keeping clothes and fabrics newer longer. It’s gentle + effective!

For more information visit Dryel’s website! 

To purchase Dryel, look for it at Walmart, Target or your favorite grocery store!

I haven’t gotten a pedicure in almost a year so needless to say the bottom of my feet are looking a bit rough, trying out Kerasal has been fascinating for me. I saw results after just one application. Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair is an exfoliating moisturizer that is clinically proven to hydrate and moisturize dry feet while exfoliating away dead skin. Put this on before bed with a pair of socks and by morning you will be shocked! 

BEFORE

AFTER

After just one use I could already tell a difference in how the bottom of my feet looked and felt! 

If you’re unable to get a manicure but want to keep your nails looking great, the Kerasal Multi-Purpose Nail Repair is likely something you’ll enjoy. It helps improve nail appearance by reducing discoloration, smoothing the surface, normalizing thickness, and hydrating the nail. It’s an effective clear formula that penetrates the nail to restore a healthy appearance.

Check out Kerasal products on both Amazon + Target!

In need of an acne spot treatment? Terminator 10 is dermatologist-recommended and contains maximum strength 10% Benzoyl Peroxide to quickly treat unexpected blemishes and stop new ones from forming. It’s fast-acting and absorbs deeply into pores and also includes chamomile and ginger to calm and soothe skin. 

Use code BABBLE at checkout on www.acnefree.com to receive 15% off your order (no email signup required) plus a free sample size Oil-Free Acne Cleanser with your purchase. Code is valid through December 31, 2020 (while supplies last)  and is one-time use per person.

 

You guys know how I feel about facial sprays, they’re my jam. This Humphreys Witch Hazel soothes your skin and senses with the wild wonders of certified organic witch hazel. It helps hydrates your skin so that you can keep it calm and conditioned. I tend to spritz my face throughout the day for little pick me ups. 

What are you doing this year for self-care?

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣
⁣
While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣
⁣
So let’s #challengeaccepted that. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
8️⃣ I recently became a plant mom and it escalated quickly⁣
⠀⁣
9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣
⁣
🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
