Get Real About Self-Care

BY RACQUEL PARKER

2023 belongs to the self-care sistas because self-care is always the MOOD! In your world self-care isn’t just on Sundays, it’s an everyday vibe. Quite simply, it’s whatever you want it to be, as long as it makes you happy. Prioritizing your wellness over everything else is what it’s all about. Our Brown Sugar Babes share how they relax, unwind, and indulge in some serious “me time.”

“I put my earphones in, tidy up my home, and then light a candle. I take a nice bath to calm my mind and journal to set intentions for weeks to come. I also love reading books if I’m not watching a good series. Peace and quiet gets me right too!”
