Looking for some DIY self-care ideas?

How about an Aloe vera and honey mask, for skin-soothing? 🍯

1:2 honey-to-aloe ratio

Directions:

📍Mix aloe and honey (less honey than aloe) ingredients together in a bowl until you get a spreadable consistency

📍Apply the mask to your face and let sit for a few minutes but not longer than 20 mins

📍Rinse your face thoroughly and pat dry. Apply a cream or oil to keep all the moisture in.

Sometimes things end and that’s okay. It doesn’t have to automatically mean we are at odds with each other.

The friendship could have served its purpose and it was time to end. Work on not “talking bad” about someone or disliking them simply because you aren’t friends anymore ❤️ #growth

As we get into a relationship, it isn’t just the things that go on between us and our partner that make us anxious, it’s the things we tell ourselves about what’s going on.

📍Those experiencing this:

Try to go inward to see what is really going on. What fears are coming up? When you take a dive into yourself and do some reflection, this will help you get clarity about some of your behavior.

When you know what it is, address it with yourself. Start small and remind yourself it is a process.

📍Those dating someone like this

Work on understanding anxiety and identify ways to best communicate with your partner. Having candid talks together on what they are feeling and validating those feelings can a game changer. Though you’re not their therapist, it’s a good idea to show support for your partner and to let them know they’re not alone.
