During this weird time of 2020 shutdowns and lingering isolation into 2021, I discovered two products that make me feel better. They are little things my son introduced me to — self care products that bring a little highlight to my days.
Never would I have imagined that I’d be washing my hands millions of times a day. My poor hands began to look so old, worn, chaffed and red in 2020. My son surprised me with an Australian hand cleanser and rich lotion. FYI, I’m going to link to these products and NO I’m not getting anything in return.
While taking care of my son, post surgery, he received a package of Turkish hand towels. I was completely unfamiliar with them. He instructed me to wash them three times to get then soft and absorbent before we put them out for use. They are beautiful and luxuriously simple made of 100 percent cotton. Something I added to my bathroom when I got home. After I wash my hands — again — I pamper them with the soft Turkish towels.
Have you discovered any self care products or foods that made you feel better during 2020 and 20201? What little ways have your days changed? Are you washing your hands more than ever, too? Have you discovered any routines or habits during these days?
My routines are now making tine for the things I love. I’m trying to get to the Met every week and I’m doing galleries in order..I saw gallery 128 yesterday and will see 129 next week. I’m trying to get to the botanic garden every week. I found a cute tea shop and once a month I try a different tea. This month is a maple spice thing.
That’s wonderful. It sounds really fun and inspiring.
It’s getting me from point a to point b and giving me something to look forward to.
That’s a great idea. I need to get out and explore more of my area on my own. There’s lots of museums. I think I’ll copy you.
Do it!!💗
I love this.
I started getting this bar soap at Whole Foods. It smells amazing. It has become my little pandemic discovery. 🙂
Thanks! Yes, nice soaps became more important during the pandemic. I’ve seen the Whole Food soaps.
Our trip to our daughter, son-in-law and grandson in the Seattle area is our big self care “event” going on now, (as you know!). This is our first real travel since January 2020. Food wise our go to comfort food is simple beans and cornbread.
Enjoy your trip! I miss my hometown. I go every few years to visit friends who still live in Snohomish.
