What I Keep In My Self-Love Tool Kit

Self-Love is the topic of the week here at livingbreely! To be completely honest, I didn’t give much thought into my own self-love routine until earlier this year and it’s easily become one of my favorite things to discuss!

If you haven’t – check out my post about 10 Ways To Practice Self-Love here.

I try to do a little something for myself everyday. Either a face mask, cooking a healthy meal, reading a book, or just enjoying a good movie – I try to do something with the intention that the action is because I love myself. This really opens it up to have a lot of diversity in my routine.

Regardless if you’ve been super productive that day or not – YOU deserve to give yourself a little boost. Some days, I need a little more love than others, which is when I dedicate the entire evening (or morning) to myself and bring out the big guns.

(And by big guns – I mean like a heavy-duty face mask while watching Eat, Pray Love and munching on some popcorn with Braggs nutrional yeast all over. I might act tough but I’m harmless.)

Anyway. I thought I would give you a brief run down of the goodies that I keep stashed away for when I’m REALLY feelin’ down and out.

I’ve accumulated a few of these products throughout the years and some of them I use on a daily basis but are also as part of my self-love routine – so I just decided to throw them in!

Disclaimer: I get tons of questions about products centered around wellness and meditation. I love getting asked these questions because it is an opportunity to talk about something that I love and share brands that I stand behind. If you do purchase one of these products, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These are all products that I have personally used and I would never recommend something that I didn’t love! #TRUST


  • I love this Lavender Spray that I found at Sprouts (a grocery store chain where I live) and I bought it on sale and have been obsessed with it ever sense. I also like to spray it on my pillows and sheets before I go to bed!

  • Meyers Soy Candles are THE BEST. I also use their cleaning products because their non-toxic (I’m thinking I should do a post about non-toxic cleaning products? What do you think?!) but I especially like their candles because they are SOY based. Certain candles really give me a headache if they are too strong but this one just smells light and fresh.

  • The Calm drink is also a life saver of mine. It’s jam packed with magnesium so it really relaxes my entire body and I get the best sleep if I drink it right before bed. You can read more about it on my resources page.

  • Ummm…do we even need to talk about the health benefits of green tea? My aunt bought me and my mom this tea for Christmas this year and I’ve been hooked ever since. Seriously – I bought my mom a refill for Mother’s Day! That’s how much we love it. It’s so light and refreshing!

  • I bought a face steamer from Amazon about two years ago and it’s been the biggest blessing. My skin went from meh’ to WOW after just two months of using it. I typically steam my face about 1-3 times a week. (More on the 1-2 side per week because yo’ girl is BUSY) It’s like bringing the spa right into your house. I always make sure to clean and tone my face before and then relax for about 7-10min while my pores get themselves hydrated and refreshed. There are some pretty pricey facial steamers on Amazon and found that this one had all the bells and whistles and was in my price range – about 20 bucks.
  • I have my go-to face mask which is 100% Amazonian clay mixed with a little ACV. It tightens my pores, gets rid of excess oil and leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated and fresh. You can read more about it on my resources page!
  • My favorite part of the night is putting on these eye pads! One, I look ridiculous wearing them and two, they just feel so cool and refreshing. I love that these come in a pack of two with 30 sheets in each pack. I keep one in my car and one in my house. If I’m heading somewhere and feeling a little worn down, I’ll slap two of these babies under my eyes and put on the biggest sunnies I can find while I’m driving to my destination. (Just don’t be like me and forget to take them off) But for my self-care routine, I’ve noticed that they really help with puffy eyes and even dark circles.

  • Okay so total truth hour– I haven’t actually used this product BUT I did buy it for my mom for her birthday and she said it’s a straight up miracle worker. They are the most hydrating collagen sheet face masks ever. My mom has skin on the dry side and she said her skin felt so moisturized and nourished after just one use. I have a horrible relationship with sheet masks but my mom said that this one was super malleable and stayed on for the recommended time – 20-30min. I’m going to have to make a trip up to see her so I can steal one of these!

Once I’m done with my skin care + face mask routine, I usually pick up a good book or put on one of my favorite movies. I’ve actually made a resources page where you can check out some of my go-to books! I’ll try to mix them up as often as possible so click below to see what I’m reading this month!

  5. I really love the raspberry lemon natural calm myself! I’ve been using it for a decade and it has actually helped me with my kidney stones better than the Rx pills I tried. My blood levels of magnesium we’re just not getting there with the pills. I’m so glad I found this. Love the face mask too. Have a great week!

    1. Very interesting! Kidney stones run in my family so hopefully I’m doing something to prevent them! I’ll have to let my fam. know! I take magnesium supplements twice a day for my anxiety and it’s been a live savor!

  6. Yes! Intention is key! And I love that you share how simple we can show self-love through everyday products that take like 10-15 mins max to use – now excuses hey!

  9. I generallytend to go with the ‘I’m ok I don’t need to invest money in stuff like a face steamer’. But actually I have niggles about pores and am realising I could face the world with my best self if I put a little more effort in. Going to look into the steamer and Indian healing mask. Already use natural calming stuff sometimes and I am all for it. Love the post!

  12. Now that you know which are the best teas, you might be wondering why you should drink them – especially instead of, say, a cup of coffee? What exactly is green tea good for?

    Reply

  13. While green tea will usually deliver many health benefits, there are several precautions for those with current health conditions and allergies. Green tea is without a doubt better and viable alternative to drinking coffee.

  14. What’s up?

    I found this article very interesting…please read!

    Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.

    It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.

    You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?

    “He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…

    You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!

    …Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).

    To see all the details showing why the Bible foretold of all these things, check out this article!

    Article: https://biblewoke.com/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed

    GOD is sending out His end time warning:

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.

    He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…

    “In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama

    …but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.

    So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…

    “And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).

    In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.

    Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning

    baraq – Biblical definition:

    From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)

    Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.

    bamah – Biblical definition:

    From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)

    The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.

    Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.

    Seek Jesus while He may be found…repent, confess and forsake your sins and trust in the savior! Jesus says we must be born again by His Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God…God bless!
