Social media platforms like Instagram, where you can tag products in your photos and “shop” brands’ feeds, leave many people feeling like their self care routine isn’t good enough. But $50 face masks, green spirulina protein smoothies, the most expensive luxury sex toy, and 2-ply cashmere loungewear don’t have to be part of the equation - your self care is working when it makes you feel good, and you don’t need to spend money to achieve that. A walk, a break, a meditation, a doodle, a smile, a foot rub…it’s all enough, and it’s all free.
