Dear Frannie Friday--20 Self Care Ideas
I've been talking a lot this week about self care (are you sick of that word yet?) and I've gotten a lot of feedback from you all about how you need to do more of that yourself. It's hard to find time for yourself when your day usually revolves around taking care of other people. So here are some quick and easy ways to give yourself a little time throughout the day:
1. Take a Bath
2. Take a Walk or a Bike Ride
3. Paint Your Nails
4. Sit Outside with a Magazine/Book/Camera/Nothing
5. Get Dressed Up for No Reason
6. Make Yourself some Tea or Coffee
7. Bake Something or Make Something Yummy To Eat
8. Put Some Dancing Music On!
9. Stretch or Do Some Yoga (there are a lot of great YouTube yoga videos)
10. Watch a Movie (Specifically one that normally no one else would want to watch with you)
11. Shop online (You know I had to go there . . .)--not that you have to buy anything. You can just put things in an online cart and exit out.
12. Shop in real life
13. Call, write or meet up with a friend you haven't seen in a while
14. Find one of those crafts you keep meaning to do on Pinterest . . . and do it!
15. Start a journal
16. Play in your closet (or is that just me that finds that fun?)
17. Plant some flowers
18. Go to a local market
19. Pour yourself a drink--alcoholic or non-alcoholic
20. Do nothing! Nothing at all. That's been my favorite self care activity.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
