Treat yourself: self-care is a priority not a luxury

Wednesday, 16 November 2016

Ask anyone how they are these days and the usual response is “Good, but busy”. I know, I do it. While there is nothing wrong with working hard we have to remember that busy isn’t always productive. It’s okay to take time out; especially if we want to be our best.

We need to quit the guilt game, it’s ok to stop for a moment without guilt creeping up on us. Often the thought of stopping to have a break leads to more stress, especially at this time of the year. For us to look good and feel great we need to stop and take time for ourselves.

Part of being our best is caring for ourselves; here are some suggestions on things you can do to take a proper break

 

  • Take a bubble bath
  • Listen to uplifting music
  • Have a coffee
  • Take a walk - Ross Creek is our favourite place for a 15 minute power walk
  • Paint your nails, do a face mask, try a new colour lippie.

 

Trying these things can make you feel refreshed, renewed and ready to conquer that seemingly never ending to-do list.

Here at Roslyn Pharmacy we can help you look and feel your best. Hayley our Beauty Expert and trained Beautician is always available for skincare and beauty advice without judgement. Offering tips and tricks to help speed up your routine. One of her favourite tips is “Using a damp beauty blender sponge will not only save you time but give you a flawless foundation application”.

We are really excited to launch a beautiful new range of makeup; theBalm (arriving in-store next week).
