Why do we focus on self-care?

I have always associated candles with self-care, especially when I take long baths and decompress. It’s also pretty common for women to take care of themselves last because we tend to take care of others first. Bringing awareness to self-care is incredibly important to me and I want to have a positive impact on my customers.

What I’ve learned through my research is that in order for self-care to work, we need to have self-worth and self-esteem first. It’s hard to imagine someone going to the gym when they don’t feel they’re worthy of taking care of themselves. They’re not going to leave that gym feeling more empowered or energized, they’re most likely going to feel the same way they did when they arrived.

Focus on building your self-esteem and self-worth first, and then self-care will have a place in your life. All you have to do is set aside some time and do something you enjoy and brings you joy. Grab a shimmery, crackling candle and get some self-care scheduled!
