Comments on: My DIY Health Retreat https://thebalancedblonde.com/2014/06/16/my-diy-health-retreat/ A Health and Lifestyle brand based in Los Angeles, California Tue, 21 Jun 2016 19:08:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Allison https://thebalancedblonde.com/2014/06/16/my-diy-health-retreat/#comment-53486 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 23:51:51 +0000 http://www.theblondevegan.com/?p=3052#comment-53486 This is such a great idea, Jordan! Sometimes we all need to unwind and give ourselves a break. I really think there’s no better time than summer to do this! It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle of everything, and you find yourself advocating a healthy, balanced lifestyle, and you’re not even living one yourself. It’s awesome to be so self-aware to know when you need to slow down. I really should do a DIY health retreat! I think everyone should! Also, lots of netflix is a great idea.

I am with you on the chewing food thing. I had to do a water fast for two days once before a medical procedure and I would watch food tv and drool at things I would normally be revolted by. Chewing is necessary for me too to feel “full” and sated. Glad you find blogging so therapeutic because I love reading your posts! They are a little inspiration therapy for me 🙂 xo

It’s something I hope to do the first week of August because the bar exam will be over and I think I will really need to take some time and take care of myself to recover. I hope you’re able to heal yourself a bit mentally and emotionally this week! xoxo

Take a break! You are going non-stop and need to give yourself a little time to relax and breathe! I’m so excited to hear that you’ve cleared your schedule. More time to do things you love and reset. I just finished finals and am doing the exact same thing :). Netflix + taking care of my body + bloggy things + doing WHATEVER I want. It’s exactly what we both need right now!

Good for you, noticing you needed a break and actually doing it. I may just lead your example tomorrow…:)

I’ll have to look up DIY face masks on Pinterest- thank goodness for Pinterest, what would we do without it?!

Ahh, yay! I am so glad you can relate. Sometimes it’s so good to just step back, realize we have been beating ourselves into the ground and allow ourselves a good old fashioned break!!! I am going to check out Lush face masks today and buy a few, will let you know my favs 🙂

I feel like I’ve been on the same page as you! I love this idea and thanks for sharing 😉 let me know any good masks you find! I’m with you there my skin is crying for help! So much love! Xo

I’ve taken mental health days here and there over the last year but never an entire week. I’m gonna try to get at least a 3 day bread in sometime in August before I head back to school.

It’s insane how run down we allow ourselves to get sometimes with this go go go lifestyle.
Hats off to you for realizing that it’s okay to take time off when you need it 😀
