I don’t know if there is an actual way to experience self care without an investment. I know self care can be interpreted differently by depending on who you are asking. In my humble opinion - i tell myself self care is defined by MIND, BODY, SPIRIT

MIND: I love to read- everything. It is the investment of time. I read up on subjects that peak my interest.  Of course, my favorite topic is health and wellness. My mind is at peace when the aromas of my home are fresh & relaxing or something cooking in the oven.  The sense of smell can control your mindset. INVEST in a Oil Diffuser. Just use water and a Young Living Essential oil. Unlike a burning candle which in many cases  has synthetic additives.  Just think about the fragrance of the candle - is it really a natural scent? If you burn the scent - what are you actually inhaling? I can tell you from reading - synthetic fragrances can be very harmful to ones health and wellness. The best part about diffusing oils - it’s good for the brain. A therapeutic oil molecule has the ability to positively affect the límbic system. Invest in Yourself.  Young Living has all products you possibly need for a good overall wellness routine.

BODY:  “feel good in your own skin”  Literally, I think moisturizer!  It doesn’t feel good when the skin is dry, crusty or flaky.  You need to moisturize and not just your face (who wants dry skin, crusty elbows, Cracked heels) Take note the skin is the largest organ in your body. It absorbs everything you put on it.  Make your body happy by treating it kindly - avoid the chemicals - apply the gifts from nature.  Hydrate your body - water with lemon essential oil is good for cleansing the  inner works of your body. Try orange essential oil - it not only smells great - the vitamin C content is great for you.  These are just a couple of examples that are so worth the value. In my Facebook group, Everyday Essential Oil, you can search for recipes on how to make natural skincare products. My very favorite to share is the Ultimate Body Butter 

SPIRIT:  The Life of Truth. My spirit is strong with faith. I make time to hear myself breathe. A deep breathe in through my nose and  I slowly exhale through my mouth. Diffusing Frankincense, which is known as the holy anointing oil  will aid in opening your mind to listen to your inner spirit and it will guide you to feed your soul. When you take a moment for quiet time - you are giving your body, in particular the brain a needed rest 

By choice, my self care is supported by the investment of getting a Young Living Account. The oil diffuser and superior quality of the oil products allows me to be content and happy with my state of being.
Self care - you are worth every penny and time you invest in yourself.
