“I LOVE MYSELF NOW. Self-love means that I have a relationship with myself built on trust and loyalty. I trust myself to have my own back, so my allegiance is to the voice within. I’ll abandon everyone else’s expectations of me before I’ll abandon myself. I’ll disappoint everyone else before I’ll disappoint myself. I’ll forsake all others before I’ll forsake myself. Me and myself: We are till death do us part.
The world needs more women who have quit fearing themselves and start trusting themselves.”
-Glennon Doyle, Untamed
Ultra self-care practice
Allow the legend of Cleopatra to inspire the legend in you.
She was the queen of self-care and was known to make a bath
with the milk of young donkeys, fresh honey and almond oil.
{Perhaps skip the donkeys}…
but allow yourself to explore the edge-pressing,
luxurious expression of self-love.
​
Cleopatra bath ingredients:
Rose petals
Whole Milk - I love using full fat coconut milk instead
Honey
Candlelight
​
Personally, I feel it’s extra special taking a bath in the morning or midday.
It sets you up for feeling relaxed and radiant all day.
Secondly, I just love sipping coffee during my bath. Maybe it’s tea for you!
Turn on an audio book or music and you are all set.
Ladies, it's time to reclaim your body, sexuality, and life through empowerment!
