You Need to Accept Yourselves Before Anyone Else Can
The self-love movement has been a trending topic for a while now, and a new study shows that it is more beneficial for mental health than other therapies. The study showed that self-love therapy had better long-term success rates in improving mental health and well-being than rejection therapy.
Another way to ensure that you squeeze in self-care are subscription boxes. I had the luxury of trying out a care box from www.myTherabox.com. First, let me tell you how great it smelled before I even unwrapped it from the mailbox. The first smell was eucalyptus, and then lavender. Right away I knew I was in the right hands. The goodies inside included a bug repellant, a bronzer, moisturizer, and even a BOOK! Yes girl, a whole book!! —Talk about Self-Care, huh?!
Receiving this box reminded me of how important it is to put myself first, or even just a top priority. There are times when we indulge ourselves heavily into our friends and families lives, that we forget about us.
So, you like, “Sis, I need details on this box!” I got you….
First things first. Let’s talk money. Each box has over $120 work of self-care goodies, and boxes start at just $35! Now for what’s inside….

Jumpstart your day with a burst of sunshine with this vegan soap bar. It smells like heaven. The scent of it was welcoming me through the box. If you are not a morning person like me, then this bar is what you need to get your day started.
