If your anything like me, you probably spend most of your week in a rush. From the minute my alarm goes off in the morning my work day starts. Wake up, coffee (or matcha), exercise, and work.

Bath salts, aromatherapy and self care

I always make a point to spend some time each day for my yoga practice, but this Fall one of my goals is to make sure I’m spending enough time on self care.

You’re probably wondering…what exactly does self care involve? Well, it can really be anything you want that helps you relax and de-stress. (meditation, listening to music, spending time outdoors, going to bed early…anything you like to unwind!)

One thing I’ve particularly been enjoying as the weather starts to cool down, is taking a relaxing bath. Now, I’m not the most patient person, so I’m usually good with my 5 minute shower.
