love yourself – Lessons I learned after I turned 30

Blogmas day 12- Pampering

Sometimes you just need a break to breathe and look after yourself.

After a hectic couple of weeks last night I had a whole night to myself. Not quite sure how that happened, but I’m so happy it did.

I had a healthy vegetable and tuna dinner and a long, hot shower before I settled in the living room.

I watched back to back Friends episodes whilst I treated myself to a Boots Rooibos beauty mask (which made me look ridiculous but my skin felt great after that), painted my nails and I spent an unhealthy amount of time staring at my beautiful Christmas tree. Still can’t believe how great it looks.

A quiet, relaxing evening. Ahhh, just perfect.

As you are

Good morning and happy Friday!

My favourite weekday.

Finally the weekend is upon us and today is all about loving yourself.

And it’s only in the last year or two that I finally accepted and loved myself. As I am. With all my imperfections. I wear my flaws on my sleeve, I wear them like diamonds.

Adriene’s yoga revolution over the last 25 days boosted my confidence and I was reminded again to love and care for my body, my spirit, my self. When I first started it I wasn’t sure about self hugs, and inhaling and exhaling love, finding my inner smile, but now I get it, I get it Adriene! And I love it.

I’m not saying much more today because one of my favourite contemporary writers Nayyirah Waheed (check her out) put it in words better than I ever could.

and Rag’nBone Man sang about it beautifully- my tune of the day.

Namaste
