It's hard to believe and really wrap my head around how much life as we know it has changed because of the pandemic. And, it's mind boggling that eighteen months into this there is still so much uncertainty. UGH. But today, I don't want to focus on the things that are largely out of our control.

So, today I'm going to share with you that process, what's inside my self care kit and how it has recently helped me.
