It's about time that a trend rejecting all this wellness thing raises up. Don't get me wrong, I love self-care and believe many practices are beneficial but, as everything else, it became an obligation/something to humble brag/another way of spending more money on simple things. Take skincare for example. The whole 'regimen' of 150 products + layering + masks + essences + 'clean beauty' and so on is exhausting. It's no longer a pleasure, it's just another chore. Whatever brand understands is time for 'less is more' and provides guilty free solutions will win the market
How do you wash a fabric that’s infused with HA, CBD, or anything like that? Or do you just wear the thing until you’ve rotted enough and then throw it away? 🤔
I am 65 and I am tired and scared. The holidays are not happy times for me. They haven't been happy for a very long time. I understand and support really good healthcare and wish there was a way to integrate wellness and good scientific medicine as a overall goal for the patient.
We can't buy ourselves the nurturing, care, love, and stability we so desperately need right now. We can help others in order to help ourselves, for some reason this works for me. We can say no to the hype of self care, because that is what it is hype. WE have to get real, look reality firmly and either accept it or work to change it. No one is going to do it for us. We are being sold nothing but dreams of better health and days. You eventually wake up from a dream.
I am already done with gift-lists for family and friends.

YES! I love a good skincare product, but I never commit to using more than one or two products at a time.

LOL, such a good question. This is all so bizarre... like, who ever thought, "I know what my clothes are missing -- a CBD infusion!"
