This month as a Bestie Squad our word of the month is “SELF-LOVE.” I have absolutely loved hearing your stories & learning from the pros on The Bestie Babble show on Instagram Live as we navigate through this journey of loving who we are… TOGETHER!
I love that we are all so different. We all have so many different trials & heartaches. We also all have so many different miracles & things that bring us joy. I am grateful we have this community that we can all feel a part of and know that we aren’t doing in the thick of this life alone. I love that I get to cheer for you – AND that you get to cheer for me! You guys are the ultimate friendship goals!
As I have been thinking the past few weeks about taking care of ourselves & truly loving who we are – I jotted down a few ways that you can take care of the most important person in your life… and that my friend is… YOU!
You see, self-love is not selfish like many may think. The truth is, is that you cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself. Read that again, but a little slower this time. You can NOT truly love another….until you KNOW how to LOVE yourself. I love it. And it is 100% truth.
Today I am SO excited to partner up with GLEEM to share with you guys 5 ways to take care of YOU! Often times we are the LAST people on our “to-do” list, when in reality, every day we should be spending a little bit of time on improving our self and loving who we are MORE.
So, are you ready!? Here we go. I present to you 5 Ways To Take Care of YOU!
1. SCHEDULE IN TIME FOR YOURSELF: I am a planner! To be honest, if I have to do something and I don’t write it down – it ‘aint happening! I am a scheduler and every single day I have my list of things to do all planned out – down to the TIMES! I have learned to schedule time for myself every single day. Whether that is in the morning before the kids wake up, so enjoy some quite mama time. Or to go to the gym. Or to go for a run outside {now that the weather is warming up! YES!!}. Or take a bath. Or watch a show. If I schedule in the TIME and know that that is MY time for me – I make it happen. And it’s been a game changer!
2. GET RID OF THE GUILT: It is so natural to feel a little guilty in having “you time” when you feel like you have WAY more important things to get done. But guess what?! That list can wait. And you can do something for you GUILT FREE! I am giving you permission. Taking the time for YOU will only help you be better at your things to do list – and will make you a happier person, resulting in being more productive later.
3. INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH: Your health is so important. Everything you do to it & put inside of it is vital. Get your body moving. Make good eating choices. Shower & take baths. Keep good hygiene. Go to the doctor & dentist for checkups. And take your vitamins!
One way that I have recently invested in my health was partnering up with GLEEM to try out their new rechargeable electric toothbrush & whitening kit and OH MY WORD it has been heaven sent!! My teeth have never felt healthier or whiter and am totally adding it to our #BestieMUSTS list!! It only took 3 uses and I could already see a difference in how much whiter my teeth are! They are super easy to use & absolutely convenient for my “always on the go” lifestyle!
The GLEEM Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush comes with a charging base and replaceable brush heads. I have loved the 2 different brushing modes it also offers – one being a classic clean and one for extra brushing power! It’s crazy how it has sonic bristles with a quiet motor so it’s not super loud! I have the aqua color, but the coral is seriously so cute and I can’t wait to grab that one for myself soon! Oh, and you know I love to travel and it even comes with a little travel case that is perfect!
You will also LOVE the GLEEM One Week Professional Teeth Whitening Light Kit + Booster Strips! Like I said before, you can start seeing results in just three days and within 7 days you will have professional-level whitening! I have loved the GLEEM LED light that whitens better than strips alone. You simply apply the strips once a day for 60 minutes and use the LED light for the last 5 minutes of treatment!

4. MEDITATE OR HAVE “QUIET TIME” EVERY DAY: I know in our lives these days the hustle and bustle is REAL. We have to be at a million places at once and we never really take a minute to just sit & be still. By taking a few minutes every day to meditate or have some quiet time, will help you relax & take on your daily routine.
5. CREATE A GRATITUDE JOURNAL: Often times we get lost in the things we wish we had or wish we did – but as we switch our mindset to GRATITUDE for the things we DO have, it will change our lives. Find a notebook or journal and at the end of every day before you fall asleep, right out 3 things that you are thankful for that day. Sometimes that might be a MAJOR thing and sometimes they might be super simple – but having a grateful heart is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself.
You guys. I LOVE YOU! I am so grateful for this month and for the opportunity we have to grow and become better together!! A huge shout out to our sponsor, GLEEM for being a part of Today’s The Best Day today. Aren’t the amazing?! Make sure you go and check them out HERE!
