Beauty comes from within, this is one thing we know to be true. Be it our kindness or the foods we nourish ourselves with, our insides really do set the tone for our outsides. But sometimes, and especially in times like these, it’s lovely to nourish ourselves from the outside in too. A chance to relax, rejuvenate, and read a good book in the bath. No expensive retreats are needed, we can do this from the sweatpants comfort of our own home and pantry. FaceTime your girlfriends and have an iso-spa day, where you get the peace of mind knowing exactly all the goodness you’re going to soak up.
