When we get nervous, we hesitate and make excuses. We make excuses not not love or care for ourselves. Life gets busy, work is hectic, family pulls you into multiple directions and you don’t spend enough time with friends.

Loving ourselves shouldn’t be a radical notion. It shouldn’t be something we have to work, especially when it’s something we are literally born to do. Our mothers have wanted better for us since the day we were born, and while society has done its best to inform us otherwise, there’s a simple recipe for rediscovering […]
