Self-Care

Self-care doesn’t have to mean a fancy spa day (though I wouldn’t turn one down) - sometimes it’s as simple as a DIY soap that smells like calm, a thrifted outfit that makes you feel cute, or a no-floor workout that doesn’t leave you groaning for three days!

This collection of self-care ideas is all about taking care of yourself in real-life ways - think homemade shower melts, essential oil aromatherapy blends (including my fave hotel dupes!), natural skincare, comfy fashion, and fun workouts for women over 50. Whether you’re here for a little glow-up or a full-on mindset reset, you’ll find easy, affordable ways to feel like your best, sparkliest self - no fancy robe required.
