Sometimes self-care feels huge and complicated… bu Sometimes self-care feels huge and complicated… but honestly, the little moments are the ones that make the biggest difference. ✨💛

I put together 7 simple self-care ideas you can do in under 10 minutes — things I use on busy days when I still want to show up for myself. Think quick resets, tiny pockets of calm, and small habits that help you feel human again.
It’s your reminder that caring for yourself doesn’t have to take all day — just a few intentional minutes. 🌿

Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that m Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that my dad used to take him to forage for chantrelle mushrooms. It was a beautiful Fall day and we were able to get a glut of mushrooms! It was so peaceful out there and I could tell why my dad liked to go out there.

I loved getting out into the woods and spending time with Jake. It helped calm some of the anxiety I've been feeling.

**Warning** My dad taught Jake how to find the chantrelle mushrooms but also always taught me what to look for when foraging for them. Forage at your own risk. Its always best to go out with someone who knows what they're doing and knows what to look for. Only forage what you are 100% sure of!***
