2020 is officially more than half over, thank goodness. 2019 feels like a decade ago and 2021 feels so far away. With social justice protests, a looming presidential election, rampant unemployment, and COVID-19 claiming more than 130,000 American lives, many people are finding themselves suffering from anxiety and depression.
Under these circumstances, taking moments for self-care can seem monstrously self-indulgent. Fashion Reverie is here to tell you that is simply not true—it’s really the opposite. Setting aside time for yourself will make you a more relaxed and peaceful person to be around. Stress can literally make you sick.
Fashion Reverie has curated a list of fun items that promote self-care during this taxing moment in history. Of course, a big issue right now is economics. Unemployment hasn’t been this high since the Great Depression, and the fashion industry has been hit particularly hard. With that in mind, we’ve included a number of items that are less than $20!

The mud formula includes a blend of six acids and activated charcoal to help life away dirt, dead skin and excess oil. Perfect for oily skin or if you have combo skin your T zone.

There is a new term called “Coronacoaster.” Stuck at home, unemployed, some days are good. We workout, bake banana bread, clean out that closet we’ve been saying we’re going to clean out since 2007. Other days, we’re drinking gin at breakfast and desperately missing people we can’t stand. On those days you need to find a way to calm yourself. The Calm App is an easily affordable app that presents you with 1000’s of guided meditations, and a wonderful sleep mode feature, which are bedtime stories for adults. These relaxing stories (there are hundreds to choose from) will lull you into a deep sleep. New stories are added every week because, right now, adulting is really hard. In years past, it has been voted one the best apps available by Apple users.
Be kind to yourself, readers. The world is in a state of change and flux. So what if you haven’t learned to speak Japanese or finished your novel or anything else you said you’d do while in lockdown. Just surviving right now is an accomplishment. Wash your hands, socially distance, wear a mask, and register to vote! We’ll get through this!!
