Mama Miah!

Self-care is important most especially during these trying times where most of us feel stressed, anxious, sad, irritable, drained physically and/or mentally, etc.

Taking a break from watching the headlines about the pandemic can help lessen your negative thoughts and feelings, that's what I do, and it also helps to have a "Me Time" too. Taking a few minutes off from your usual routine can have a huge impact on your overall well-being. 

For moms like me who had been stuck at home since last year and have bouts of panic attacks, it really helps to have time to take care of yourself, relax and recharge. So, what do I do? I watch movies or tv series, listen to music, gardening, exercise, write or blog, play online games or board games with my daughter, or go out and ride a scooter with her. 

Self-care comes in a variety of forms, it looks different from person to person with different preferences and needs. So, find a time and do whatever makes you feel better and don't think of it as a selfish act. You can't pour from an empty cup, love yourself first.

Having a good skincare routine is one of the best self-care you can give to yourself. Just because we are always staying at home during these trying times, doesn't mean that we stop taking care of ourselves.

As for me, I always use Bio-Oil to moisturize my skin, I love that it's not greasy when I apply it on my face and I love its scent. Over the years, I have seen how it works on my skin. Bio-Oil somehow lightens my uneven skin tone and minimizes the appearance of dark spots and stretch marks brought by my pregnancy before.

I am not getting any younger so, I don't take skin-care for granted. I try to be gentle on my skin too by using products that make me feel good and beautiful inside and out.

Stay strong, stay beautiful!
