17 Super Simple 5-Minute Self-Care Ideas For Busy Women With No Time To Relax!
5-Minute Self-Care Ideas: Quick and Easy Ways to Boost Your Well-Being
Imagine sliding into a warm delicious-smelling bubble bath after a long day at work. Or curling up on the couch with your favorite mystery as you try to figure out whodunit.
But let’s be real, when you’re a busy woman working full time you don’t feel like you have time for self-care of any kind.
And I feel like the older I get the more I feel guilty for wanting to do anything I consider to be fun or not productive.
Being over 35 is a trip ain’t it? But the thing is, you shouldn’t feel guilty for “indulging “ in self-care or even feel like you don’t have time.
It can be especially hard to take care of yourself if you are struggling with depression or anxiety (or ADHD) like I have had in the past. The guilt is extra real then. Continue reading

3 Genius Moves Smart Women Make Before They Get Their Next Paycheck To Stay Ahead
Does this sound familiar?
“Once again it’s the end of the month and I’m broke.
I don’t have any idea where my money went. I planned to save whatever money was left over at the end of the month but there isn’t any left over.
Maybe next month there will be.”
Ugh, how does this keep happening? I mean you are watching every single dollar that you spend, right?
Well, if you’re anything like me, you probably weren’t. I used to do this all the time. I’d look at my bank statements and ask questions like:

Trust me, girl, they got you especially when you don’t. Let me explain why at the end of the month you have no money left over to save for yourself.Continue reading
