Each year as the calendar turns to July, Fashion Reverie, loves to talk about the ‘Summer of Love’. This means we often talk about date nights, movies to watch, and other romantic things that relate to pop culture and fashion. But today, we’ll be diving into the other facet of love; self-love.
Self-love can be made fun of and thought of as something to do only when you’re sad or in need of a self-esteem boost. That can be true; however, self-love is just as important, if not more important than being loved by a partner. While self-love doesn’t just come in the form of self-care, it’s a good place to start. When taking care of your body (along with your mind), you’ll build confidence.
Fashion Reverie has curated some of our favorite ways to care for your body. Some are simple things you can do at home and others are a little more elaborate–like massages and spa nights.
Manicures and Pedicures
A good manicure and pedicure can be as simple as getting a beautiful pack of press-on nails or a good bottle of nail polish and painting them at home. If you take a moment to look at the nails of models or your favorite celebrities, you’ll most likely notice that they’re well-trimmed and painted to perfection. These might all be done in the salon, but now it’s easier than ever to get salon quality at home … unless you choose to splurge and take yourself to get a manicure!
Facials
Similar to manicures and pedicures, a facial can be done at home or at the salon. In a world where glowing skin is seen like a beacon, it’s not make-up that’s making everyone’s face so perfect, but a good skincare routine set apart by the once-in-a-while facial. Try a face mask from Kiehls or head to a nearby spa to rejuvenate your skin.
Working out
Getting your daily exercise is just as important as putting together an incredible outfit or taking care of your skin. Not only will exercise make you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin, but it’s also a great way to get a natural glow and destress,
Massages
Massages are best when done at a spa, but if you do have a partner at hand perhaps try a romantic couples massage at home! This is a great way to destress, release toxins in your body, and find a sense of calm.
Spas
Spa days are a great way to appreciate yourself and take care of your body. One spa that we highly recommend is BYOU Laser Clinic in New York with locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island. They focus on enhancing your natural beauty through laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and body treatments. Whatever spa you choose, the spa’s ambiance is always enough to soothe your body and spirit.
