Surprisingly, the one thing we were encouraged to have while kids, we get less of and sometimes ward off the older we get. After Kindergarten, there are no more nap times. After elementary school no more snack time or recess. Come high school breaks are scarce. College? Forget it. You’re falling asleep in class.

The phrase “First, I drink coffee, and then I do things,” runs very true with me. It can even be said that I’m not doing anything, until I’ve had my coffee. I’m on auto pilot until that warm elixir runs down my throat. A mindless zombie, feeling my way around the house. A purple minion, if they delay is too long.

An exciting thing about Christmas time is breaking out the Christmas movies! Just like Christmas music, this is the time to play them like crazy. Sure, we could watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music any time through the year; but, if you’re doing a Christmas movie marathon in December, you won’t get shunned for it, unlike how you would be for doing so in March.

What do you do when you wake up in the morning? Get out of bed and make it up. Brush your teeth wash your face. Get the morning brew going. Look in a full closet at a loss of what to wear. We have all developed important morning rituals that are characteristic of how we start our day; however, ladies if you do not have a morning beauty ritual, you’re falling short.

Our self-care moments should be times that we enjoy. Honestly, they are some of the best moments of my day because they remind me that it’s always the little moments. These little moments are the fabric of our lives. I love picking out activities to do for myself—movie night, retail therapy, stay-cation. One of my favorite activities to do for self-care, I do just about every day. These are my face care routines.

There is nothing wrong with the comfort zone. We like it because it’s safe and secure. It includes everything we know and all that we believe we can do; but the comfort zone is still a zone.
