What is self care to you?

What is ‘self care’ to you?To me, it’s not about having baths and reading my candlelight … it’s about RESPECT!- doing what makes you feel good- wearing what makes you feel good- actually, anything that makes you feel good!!- hanging around with people who inspire you- dropping people who don’t treat you well … including toxic family members!   By the way, you can find these delicious scarves on my website!
