This Is What Self-Care Looks Like In 2018
Ahh, that dreaded word: self-care. Regardless of whether you think self-care is some kind of new age, feel good buzz word, or a legit part of a strong mental health routine, people have feelings –– BIG FEELINGS — about self-care.
If there’s one thing we can agree on, however, it’s that self-care does NOT mean pedis and facials after hot yoga. Here’s what it does look like:
1. Blocking your racist relatives on Facebook.
2. Telling yourself that chamomile tea is the answer. (Side note: chamomile tea is not the answer.)
3. Stabbing Trump voodoo dolls.
4. Doing a shit ton of face masks.
5. Screaming into the void.
6. Writing chores on your to-do list after you’ve completed them.
7. Binge watching Queer Eye.
8. Binge watching Schitt’s Creek.
