Self Love is the Best Love; Especially During Covid
I think we can all agree that this has been one hell of a year. If I'm wrong, please feel free to exit out, but this chat is well needed. Yes, this hasn't been the year we all hoped for, however, quarantining has provided a moment of a pause on the day to day stress that life sometimes gifts us. When we were told to shelter in with loved ones, a lot of us had mixed thoughts on how it would go, yet one thing was for certain, we’d all be spending more time with ourselves. Something that seemed like a luxury in our fast-paced world now became the new norm.
What were some ways you decided to show yourself some love?
Self-love is the best kind of love!
Does it sound like I'm preaching? Well, I am because I want everyone to realize and practice it, especially during the month of February! The Sugared Beauty Bar tribe is here to remind us that love comes in all shapes and forms and that you should try to give yourself the extra kindness you so naturally give to others. It’s easy to feel a little low after the new holiday traditions this year, but you are not alone. Facetime ‘Happy New Years’ and Whatsapp Christmas cards took over how we celebrated holidays, but this February it’s all about you and what you want to do to celebrate yourself!
After all, platonic love is just as important as romantic love. When things seem a bit down, you can always count on your besties to uplift you and remind you that you are strong and you are loved. Stress is a big factor in feeling down. The cortisol levels released in the brain during times of stress can throw off your body’s hormone balance and make you feel less than stellar. That’s why taking the time you need to focus on yourself is so vital to feeling fuller and happier in your day to day life.
Self-care can be something simple as staying hydrated or having a full-on treatment day at the Sugared Beauty Bar. A couple of glasses of water a day will make your body thank you immensely and taking advantage of this month’s bestie bundle will have you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you book a sugaring session and a reiki session with a friend this month you get half off your second service (score)! While one person is getting sugared with Serenity, Rose will make sure you feel as light as a feather with a Reiki session.
Enjoy the little luxuries!
Bath time is also another great way to fit in some self-love practices. Whether it be having a moisturizing shower or soaking in a eucalyptus bath bomb, we know that your body appreciates the little luxuries available. Sugared Beauty Bar offers amazing natural products like our Peppermint Apricot exfoliating soap to help open up any clogged pores and prevent ingrowns from forming. It leaves your skin feeling fresh and soft while providing great aftercare for any sugaring services done. Your skin will seriously thank you after trying our all-natural body balms that are locally sourced.
Our skin is the biggest organ we have and feeding it with natural products is not only good for the environment but good for ourselves! Skinfood is essential because our bodies absorb whatever we put on the skin. Thank goodness for moisturizers during these cold winter months! No matter what you choose as self-care, we’re here to remind you that it’s important to take a break and bring your energy back to you. From meditation practices to massages and facials, to binge-watching Gossip Girl, have a snow day, and enjoy all the little luxuries that life has to offer!
