About Me: Ten Ways I need to Take Care of Myself Better!

A few weeks ago I started a new Pinterest board - Beauty + Self as motivation to start taking better care of myself. Do you think I actually started pinning helpful things in order to better my own self care? Not even close...

I had a good start though...I did pin a few homemade beauty treatments but I need to go further! I still feel like I'm rolling out of bed, scrounging myself together to look presentable, and sprinting to my college classes. Oh yes, I do miss the good ole college years and it's a bad habit I still fall into quite often.

I turned 30 back in August and I think it's time to take better care of myself overall =)

10 Ways I'm Trying to Take Better Care of Myself! 

1. Take Off My Makeup Each Night!!!

~ This is a really bad habit of mine. I take it off each morning and just reapply. ~ 

2. Drink More Tea w/o adding sugar.

3. Use Body Lotion to combat my eczema! 

~ My skin is basically acting like it's November all over again! I have several breakouts right now of dry skin and I have to promise myself not to scratch!!!  ~ 

4. Start using Essential Oils for Stress Relief!

5. Start going to Wednesday Night Yoga! 

~ My old gym had a very fast hot detox yoga but it was too fast. I couldn't go from Downward dog to Warrior #2 or #3 without falling over! The new gym has a slower one I need to try out! ~

6. Drink Lemon & Cucumber Water!

~ For some reason the tart lemon doesn't bother me! I'm really loving the combo and I bought a rubbermaid blender bottle to help whish it all around! ~

7. Take Better Care of My Hair and Not just throw it up in a Bun!! 

~ I know this is actually a trend these days...but when you've been doing it for 10+ years it's making my hair thin on the crown of my head. I need to switch it up! ~

8. Read a book before bed, not pass out looking at my phone! 

~ The blog, A Spare and A Spare, has motivated me to start reading before bed, not just playing Two Dots until I pass out! I'm still reading "Me Before You" and "The Great Gatsby". ~

9. Stop Picking at My Nails & keep them manicured. 

~ I don't own a dishwasher...yeah who would of thought condos actually don't come with dishwashers? Anywho, I've horrifically neglected my nails as of late because I'm constantly doing dishes. That's no excuse. On Sunday, I filed them down to start again. I also picked up a new Essie nail polish, High Class Affair, b/c I love the name! =P ~

10. Sleep...

~ I go to bed anywhere between 12am-1am. I really need to make it more 10:30pm-11:30pm because I seriously need more sleep!! ~
