BYE-BYE FAD CARES.
i'm calling BS on the rise of the self-care culture. Yup... don't get it wrong though, i dream of a world where we don't need to justify the need for self-care. i work to bring forth a world where self-care is sustained/integrated. what i see today, offers bandaids and no true remedy. reminds me of fad diet culture. i'm ready to say goodbye to spending money on quick fixes that offer ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ต๐ฉ, ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ, ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด. โฃ

there has been a lot of push in the self-care culture lately as a solution to stress. My hesitation is the recognition that self-cares that will allow us to show up day-in-day-out goes deeper than a bubble bath, that 2-hours alone (at target), sitting in your driveway scrolling on the phone, a meditation, a gym session.โฃ
