My skin has been really dry recently! The temperature drip has really just caused havoc! 🙃 . I've maintained a healthy glow ✨ by upping my moisture and sticking to a skincare routine for dry skin . I might not get spots very often but I do get regular dry/flaky patches 😭 dry skin comes as a blessing and a curse 😂 .

Is it madness to take your braids out after 2 weeks because you miss your afro 🙃 . Tuesday was a toughie 😑 I feel like so many of us repressed Blue Monday and it showed up for me today anyway... I'm just going to do what I need to and take care of me 🌳 . Facemask, nails, scalp massage, bed ✨🙌🏾 any recommendations for an after work/evening self care routine?

It's a new day but I'm still in colour ☺️✨ . I've really been putting the work in to improve my mental health and I feel like it's really paying off. I've had low mood days too but I've been managing them a lot better and I've just been practising patience with myself 💕 . If I leave you with any tip to helping yourself when it comes to mental health, I would say start by practising patience with yourself. You don't have to rush, mental health is not a race ✨ Products used: FACE: @bobbibrown @bobbibrownuk vitamin enriched face base @bobbibrown @bobbibrownuk highlighting powder: bronze glow @makeuprevolution fast base 'f13' @obsession mad about mauve 'foxglove' @makeuprevolution conceal & define concealer 'c12.5' @obsession pigment boost fixing spray @revolutionpro 4k bronzer palette 'cool' (contouring & bronzing) @makeuprevolution loose powder 'beige' EYES: @makeuprevolution Imogentation palette @bobbibrown @bobbibrownuk smokey eye mascara @makeuprevolution the liner revolution LIPS: @makeuprevolution lipgloss 'motion' HAIR: @amazon ombre braiding hair CLOTHING: @asos @asos_loves_curves Jumper (24) (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs71Iw4F9Wr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f37ds7iqhekk

One last #MakeupForMentalHealth post for the day 💙 . Do what you have to for your health! You come first always 💙 one of my favourite sayings/ daily reminders is: you can't pour from an empty cup 💦💙 . It basically means if you run out of energy, happiness or anything then how can you put that back into anyone else or anything else? 💙 .

In 2014 I was diagnosed with PTSD. I had no idea what Mental Health, Self-Care or Self-Love meant. After completing 12 weeks of therapy, I needed to find a way to continue routinely practising good MH . I quickly discovered a community of people on Instagram openly sharing their tips on managing the daily challenges life can present for people struggling with their MH. I remember one day I felt really low in spirit and knew a hot bath wouldn’t quite cut it. I found myself reaching for my makeup and feeling immediately more relaxed . It’s 30 mins of relaxation, not moving, looking at yourself, thinking, singing, being patient with yourself, learning something new… I found so much comfort in this moment that I never stopped. I posted that first image to my personal IG feed and used the hashtag #MakeupForMentalHealth .
