5 ways to practice self care

Do Your Nails

I love doing my nails to take a little break – whether it’s mid day or at the end of the day, you can’t be on your phone or do anything else. It’s so nice nails knowing you did them too! 🙂 The Color Street nail strips are my absolute fave and give you a salon-perfect mani at-home or anywhere, any time! I can do both hands in about 10-15 mins. I also love to do them while watching one of my fave TV shows. Lately we’ve been binging Good Girls, Jane the Virgin, and the McMillions documentary! The color I’m wearing on my nails right now is the prettiest blue for spring called Aspen Sky.

Shave Your Legs

I don’t know about y’all but I love the feeling of silky smooth legs. I love to shave and then throw on my long shorts & just chill. There’s something so satisfying about freshly shaven legs. The Billie Razor is one of my all-time faves – the smoothest shave ever (like butter!) and I love that they have a subscription service. I can’t even remember to plan dinner most nights, so it’s so convenient knowing they’re going to show up on my doorstep when I need them every month. The dream pop color is my fave & I love that they have a little magnetic holder – so convenient. The travel case is perfect for throwing in your toiletry bag for on the go. I love the Billie shave cream, body lotion, and their face wipes too (I was so pleasantly surprised by how well these work!!). I also recently started using the billie floof dry shampoo & am a huge fan – I have the light shade and love it. It’s a powder and great for days you want to skip washing. All of their products are amazing quality and super affordable – a win win! 🙂

Take a Walk

I love starting my day and ending my day with a walk around my neighborhood. Just 30 mins can make a huge difference. Leave your phone and home or in your pocket (in case you really need it), and just take it all in. I love listening to the different sounds and just focusing on my breathing. It’s sure to give you all sorts of zen feelings. 🙂 I’ll link some of my fave walking shoes & apparel here! 🙂

Take a Bath

I loveeee taking a bath. I never thought I was a bath kinda girl until we got our new tub almost 2 summers ago. I would use that thing every day if I could – and now that I’m thinking about it, why can’t I? haha. It’s so relaxing and just feels SO good to submerge myself in the warm water and bubbles at the end of a long day. To make it *even* better I LOVE adding my bath salts – the equilibria Mindful Mineral Soak is my absolute fave. It smells like a DREAM – gardenias + lavender – and is so relaxing. Y’all can use code MORGANBULLARD for 15% off too! 🙂 I love shaving with this razor at the end of the bath too – gets your hairs super soft so they’re even easier to shave. Taking off my makeup always makes me feel so relaxed, and I always take mine off before a bath or shower! These makeup removing wipes from Billie are amazing! I also LOVE these exfoliating pads to get off all the dead skin (use code MORGB for 15% off!). I am also a HUGE fan of the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops – I always feel better with a little glow. 🙂 The dark shade is my fave!

Foot Massage/Body Massage

I’ve always loved getting massages – I remember getting them when I was in high school and life was just *so* stressful lol. If you’re wanting something at home, I love this foot massager, this neck massager, and this full-body massager. I love these because they feel amazing and you can use them alone! The foot massager is a huge hit with everyone that tries it. The neck massager is so freakin relaxing and really gets those tight spots/tension out from a long day. Especially if you have kids – you’ll love this. The theragun mini full-body massager is amazing for everyone, especially if you work out! It’s a percussive massager and is great for fore muscles and just over-all wellness. It’s more of a splurge, but it’s amazing!
