Self Care. What does that mean?
Self care. What does that mean? Maybe you have never heard it before, and that’s ok. I’m here to tell you all about it. I got you girl.
Self care is managing your life and body with purpose and intention to take good care of yourself. It is not a reward, but a healthy way to take responsibility for your own life and body. Self care done well increases your quality of life, and the quality of the lives of those closest to you.
Here are a few examples of Self Care.
- Getting the rest you need to properly function, work, and care for others.
- Quiet time to reflect on tasks and intentions for the day, pray, and think about the things you are thankful for.
- Exercise to reduce stress and improve mental and physical health.
- Drinking your water and take your vitamins.
- Taking the time to plan and prepare healthy food for you and your family.
- Getting some fresh air and Vitamin D everyday.
- Say NO to things that don’t fall in line with your beliefs, goals and priorities.
- Taking a long bath or soak in the hot tub or other relaxing activity.
- Having alone time and doing something you enjoy.
- Getting chiropractic care and massage therapy to increase your energy, reduce stress and keep your body in good working order.
- Good grooming of your physical body. Cleanliness, skincare, nail grooming, hair grooming and so on.
- Setting boundaries and cutting out toxic interactions.
- Setting aside time and budgeting for get-aways with your spouse and family.
Our family takes one beach trip per year to enjoy the ocean and have all-out family time.

Best Facial Hands Down
Monica is the best! She will tailor the facial to what your skin needs and is truly amazing!
Response from Monica Hicks
Thank you so much for the glowing review Natalie!
Amazing Services-No one finer
Monica is the absolute best at everything she does! In particular, she’s been working on my brows for over 10 years and most recently I’ve been getting regular facials with her. She knows so much about skin, the products she uses and techniques that I just always let her choose which one I get. I always come away from my facials feeling all kinds of relaxed, but ladies, I’m 53 years old and have never had more compliments on my skin. Monica, you can never retire 🥰
Relaxing and refreshing skin care
I love Monica’s treatment room – it’s cozy and quiet. Whether I’m getting a facial or brow wax and tint, it always feels like a peaceful little get away from life’s demands. Monica takes excellent care of my sensitive skin and personalizes her services to meet whatever my skin needs at the time of my visit.
Facial
I’ve known Monica for a few years. She is a master at skin care and beauty! I am very picky with my personal care products. I really liked the one line she carries by skinscript. Her facials are VERY relaxing. I feel like all my troubles just melt away when I’m on Monica’s table. My face shines when she is done. The waxing always looks amazing too!
An Angel? An amazing esthetician? Both!
Monica is an Angel when it comes to treating the skin and it’s varying issues! I have been seeing her regularly since I was 18 (now 24), so she has worked with my skin through many difficult seasons! No matter what condition my skin is in, I always look forward to my appointments. Monica goes above and beyond to make sure you are relaxed and comfortable, no matter the treatment you’re receiving. I’ve even fallen asleep on more than one occasion! Her high quality products, tools, and wealth of knowledge on the skin- sets her high above any average esthetician. I am constantly referring my friends to her and cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you Monica!
About Me
Hi I’m Monica. I’m a creative go-getter, adoptive momma to 4, Licensed Skin Therapist and Carolina girl who got to marry my first sweetheart.
I love helping women look and feel their best with treatments to target skin concerns of all kinds. I also really enjoy educating clients of all ages about how to care for their skin. This blog is dedicated to that passion and also includes some personal blogs on our family’s journey through foster care and adoption.
Thank you for being here!

These are such great tips and practical ideas for taking care of ourselves! I’m finding that as I implement more of these I’m a better wife, momma and friend because I feel better!
Yay! That is great Hannah. I’m finding the same here. And we definitely want to be good wives, mommas and friends. Keep up the good work!
