Life can get overwhelming, and it’s easy to let self-care fall to the bottom of your priority list. If you’re like me, you might find yourself running on empty, wondering how you ended up in bed at 11 p.m. when you meant to be asleep by 9:30, or realizing you only drank one tumbler of water all day. Sound familiar? 

For me, self-care looks like:

• Prioritizing sleep
• Staying hydrated
• Nourishing my body with good food
• Moving my body regularly
• Creating at-home spa experiences
• Spending quality time with loved ones

Lately, the first four have been nonexistent, and I’m here to tell you: I’m reclaiming them. If you’ve ever felt the same, you’re not alone. And if you have an ADHD brain, you know how challenging it can be to stick to even the best-laid plans.

One Small Step Toward Balance

This week, I’m starting with one simple goal: Be in bed by 9:30 p.m.

When I commit to this, I can wake up at 6:30 a.m.—before the kids—to either move my body or prepare a nourishing lunch for the day. Will it happen every night? Probably not, and that’s okay. Life happens, and grace is essential. But this small change helps me feel less overwhelmed and more in control.

What’s one thing you can do for yourself this week?

Create Your Own At-Home Spa Night

One of my favorite ways to recharge is by creating a luxurious spa night at home. It’s the perfect way to pamper your mind, body, and hair. 

Here’s how to do it:

Set the Mood

Light a few candles.

Play a calming Spotify playlist. Here’s one of my current favourites:

Pamper Your Hair

Wash your hair and apply a hydrating hair mask. If you’ve recently coloured your hair, consider a bond-repair treatment like the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask to restore strength and shine.

Glow from Head to Toe

Treat your skin to a full skincare routine, including a face mask tailored to your skin’s needs. Pro tip: Ask your aesthetician for samples during your

next visit. It’s a great way to try new products without committing to a full-size purchase.

Unplug and Unwind

Slip into your coziest pajamas and snuggle into bed. Leave your phone and TV behind—this is your time to disconnect. Grab a book, a colouring book, or simply close your eyes and breathe.

You might just fall asleep faster than you think!

Why Self-Care Matters

Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Whether it’s a full spa night or just an early bedtime, small acts of self-care can make a big difference in how you feel. So, let’s embrace the opportunity to slow down, recharge, and show ourselves a little extra love.
