Saturday’s were always a day for me to reflect on the past week and plan for the upcoming one. Saturdays are still the same, only these Saturdays lately, I make it a point to give myself some self-love. I got a mani-pedi one time. Another time I just took the time to relax in a bubble bath. I finished my work early one day and no one was home yet, so I treated myself to my favorite restaurant. It became important for me to give myself some special me-time.
In college, it was so easy for me to find time to do things I loved. For my junior and senior years, I didn’t have class on Mondays and my besties all went to different colleges. We agreed that we would always treat ourselves in our downtime. We called it self-care. Then we would do a 3-way (more like 6-way) phone call to share our stories with one another.
Once I had children I limited it to once a month because I felt like I was being a little selfish. Only this past year did I decide to start up my self-love again and that it was okay to be selfish…boy was I RIGHT?! Once I started taking the time out for me, I was able to get more done. This allowed me to be a better mom and a wife. I feel more relaxed and renewed even right now. Those few hours taken for me makes a world of a difference. My performance even got better at work.
Therefore, I wanted to take this moment and make it a movement for all of us. I want you to take time out of the week FOR YOU. Even if you can’t take it on Saturday, simply add the hashtag SSS (#SSS ~ Self-love Saturday Selfie). Do you think you can squeeze at least a few hours out of your week just for you? If so remember to drop a selfie with the hashtag SSS (#SSS). Please share in the comments below. I really would love to know.
Until next time, shine amongst the stars!

having a time for yourself is very important. it is not only rejuvenation to oneself but very healthy to a relationship!
What a sweet idea! I can be so judgmental of myself so this challenge is something I’m completely ready to be behind.
We should all reflect! Taking time to just love who we are and have a little bit of selfishness is not a bad thing. Loving ourselves is the most important thing to do, it’s the only thing that can’t be stolen from us!
This is something I need to work on. To have more than 10 minutes of me time. I am up to my neck with work and on top of it, I have to make sure my family is well fed, the house is clean, and the finances are in order. I already announced to my family that I need some time off on the days surrounding my birthday. Hopefully I do get that chance.
Beautiful! We all need a little love sometimes! Kudos to you for recognizing that!
