I just did a deep overnight hair treatment. I've been struggling so much, my hair was matted and dry and not nice to touch. And it's a really low energy self care thing, I oiled my hair with a really nice blend I got a while back and carefully massaged it in and untangled the matting, then I covered it and was done until the next day; except I was actually feeling a little okay so I even did a hot towel treatment after wrapping it and before bed. And then I can do any before bed activities with my hair wrapped, sleep normally and in the morning wash it all out (It doesn't even have to be first thing!) with my shower (it also encouraged me to shower which I have been neglecting). The shower could be as long or short as I needed, and now with my special shampoo and conditioner that I splurged on when I got my tax return 😛 my hair feels and looks silky and is light and fluffy. And it's not by much, but I do feel a bit better about myself.
Sometimes when I'm having a really good day, I'll do my nails. The current polish has lasted so long! so they are yellow with brown spots like a giraffe, and that sometimes brightens my day a bit when I look at it... one day I hope to get them done properly, maybe acrylics because I love them long, but currently am unemployed. And I usually work with animals so it's unhygienic
