When I recently asked you in my Instagram stories what you would most like me to blog about, one dear reader replied: self-care advice for full-time caregivers. My heart went out to her immediately because I know her story – she is caring for her husband who is awaiting a kidney transplant – just like […]

I’ve heard it said (and you probably have too) that “self-care is about more than just bubble baths.”  And I, for one, couldn’t agree more.  Why stick to just bubble baths when you can mix it up with an amazing bath bomb every now and again? 😉 Obviously, there’s more to self-care than relaxing soaks […]
