Project Crystal 2.0: Week 1 - A Self-Care Journey Begins

This week marked the start of something new for me— week 1 of Crystal 2.0. I’ve decided to focus on self-care, because let’s face it, when life and business get busy, taking care of ourselves often falls to the bottom of the list. But not anymore!

 

For the first time in six or seven months, I made time to get my hair done. It felt so good to refresh my look and take a moment just for me. And after LashCon, I finally got my lashes done again, which was long overdue. I still haven’t had a pedicure since ILE Miami (I know, I know!), but hey, this is a journey, and we’re making progress!

 

Self-care isn’t just about vanity—it’s about how it makes you feel. When you look good, you feel good, and that energy spills into everything you do. Whether you’re running a business, managing a household, or chasing big dreams, taking care of yourself gives you the confidence and energy to handle it all.

 

This week was a reminder of why self-care matters and how easy it is to overlook it. As entrepreneurs, parents, or anyone juggling a busy life, it’s easy to pour all your energy into others and leave nothing for yourself. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup.

 

So, if you’ve been neglecting yourself lately, let this be your reminder to start small. Schedule that appointment, treat yourself to something you’ve been putting off, or even take a moment to rest.

 

As Thanksgiving approaches, I’m reflecting on the importance of gratitude—not just for others, but for the ability to grow, change, and invest in myself. I hope this inspires you to do the same.

 

And now, it’s time to gear up for the madness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But this time, I’m going into it refreshed and ready to crush it.

 

Here’s to self-care, growth, and becoming the best version of ourselves. Let’s do this!

 

How are you prioritizing self-care this week? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear your journey!
