Self-care is just a free afternoon and good shampo Self-care is just a free afternoon and good shampoo.

Most of the time my hair gets washed in like 90 seconds flat during the absolute carnage of bath and bedtime, so it’s not exactly the indulgent self-care moment that you see in those shampoo commercials (seriously girls, we were sold a lie).

So the other day I just decided, you know what, I’m washing my hair in the middle of my work day. Because I work from home and I am my own boss and if I want to have a little wash day moment at 1pm on a Tuesday then absolutely nobody can stop me.

gifted by @merwaveofficial - genuinely love them 🧜‍♀️
