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!

I totally agree we all do need our ME time. Thanks for the reminder 😀
I agree it’s important to take time for yourself. My one-and-only and I talk about this quite a bit. He think I work too hard, between my day job and my side hustle. But the way I look at it, my side hustle is for me, for my future, for the ability to have more me time in the future. So right now I multi-task my me time. While I’m walking for exercise, I also work on my social media. Getting my walk in feels very good, and so does getting my work done! I soak in the tub several times a week, while also, you guessed it, working on my social media. 🙂 Right now, that’s what feels like balance to me. I take care of me and my goals. And I’m not afraid to take a break if my body, mind or spirit are telling me I need to. Thanks for the post!
If we don’t take of ourselves, we can’t be expected to take care of others. We need “personal” time to rejuvenate and relax. Thanks for your suggestions!
Weekends for me tend to be a bit chaotic,from grocery shopping to a toddler whining over nothing really but I think I need to introduce something like this just for me and to be able to do something to just relax and make me happy. Love this post.
Rest is very important especially when we are drowned with so many work and stress. Thanks for the reminder!
