I’m a big believer in the importance of self-care and taking some time just for you. Working full-time in a demanding job has taught me certain things about taking care of myself, how I used to not do this at all, and how I’ve had to learn some of those lessons the hard way. I used to think it was selfish to take time for me, but I have learned that I can’t be of use to anyone if I’m not myself. Over the last couple of months, I have been participating in an awesome box subscription service called BlessBox– how does that name not make you feel a little better already?? BlessBox is such a fun package to receive once a month and there are high quality, decent sized, and unique products and gifts inside. This is not a sponsored blog post but I just wanted to tell you all about it, in case this might be a good once-a-month-pick-me-up just for you. BlessBox is $29.99 a month but there are also some other plans available that make the rate go down a little each month. The first month you sign up is also discounted if you use the code provided on the website. Subscription boxes are a great way to treat yo’self, try out some new products, and maybe even as a gift for someone. Here are some of the things that I received my May BlessBox.
