    The Importance of Self-Care

    What counts as self-care? In a society that's so used to working to no end, carving out the time for the typical “self-care” luxurious bath feels borderline impossible. That’s why your hosts Jenny and Cindy have learned how to embrace the small achievements (even celebrating getting out of bed, because sometimes that’s hard enough). Join us as we delve into the importance of self-care and what forms of self-care we have incorporated into our lives. Life is hard, so please take care of yourself—you deserve it. ---------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE to With a Grain of Salt!
