New Series: 7 Days of Self Care with Soultanicals

As one month draws to a close and we sit on the cusp of another, I feel the need to publicly acknowledge a feeling that I'd harbored for the better part of June - I'm running low.

But not just the kind of low that a good night's sleep and a strong coffee the next morning can cure. It's the kind of low that craves a vacation, but is met with the reality that I've got ish to do and real-world responsibilities.

What's a girl to do?

In a radical move of self appreciation and restoration, I committed 7 days to performing at least one act of self care daily.

When's the last time you took a moment for yourself, and committed that moment unapologetically to your well-being?

I partnered with Soultanicals to help tell my story and take you along the journey, and I hope y'all don't mind. I couldn't think of a better brand to share in this mission with me - Ayo Ogun-McCants created Soultanicals to be an immersive adventure in self-love. If you don't know by now, Soultanicals is one of my favorite and most cherished brands to support (aka spend my money on) and collaborate with. Check my receipts here. Ayo's products are thoughtfully crafted by hand, and contain a selection of nature's best ingredients designed specifically for natural hair.

Throughout the next 7 days, I'll be sharing a specially curated selection of Soultanicals goodies, how I used them, and how they inspired an act of self care.

Self care is not selfish. You can't pour from an empty vessel.

If you're in the same boat as me - desperately seeking a recharge without the ability to just uproot and throw up the deuces thanks to responsibilities like job, family, and finances, etc. - I invite you to come along with me.

Feel free to replicate these acts of self care, or even explore what self care means for you specifically. That's the beauty of self care - there's no right or wrong way to do it. Whatever you choose, I hope that you're inspired to take some time out today (and every day) to recharge your batteries - because you're worth it.

And you deserve it.

7 Days of Self Care with Soultanicals officially launches tomorrow (June 26th). Make sure we're connected via Instagram and Facebook so you don't miss a thing. And don't forget to check back daily - this is a series you won't want to miss.
