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 really do try to squeeze out some me time every week. It’s not always easy, but at least I try! I need my alone time.
If I got the time, I would love that.
I love this post. Learning to love yourself is so great for our mental and physical health. Thanks for sharing.
Love your selfies! It’s so important to practice self care. Just like the flight attendants say, we have to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others.
It is so vitally important to take care of YOU and to remember how beautiful you are inside and out. I love taking selfies from time to time to remind myself of my beauty. I have been struggling ,your post is reminding me that I have to make me a priority again.
