Recovering People-Pleaser Era: Why My Self-Care Comes First Now

Once upon a time (okay, like last year), I was the queen of overcommitting. Need help moving? I got you. Last-minute work project? Sure. “Let’s hang out soon”? Of course! Meanwhile, I was running on fumes and looking like a dried-up raisin because my own self-care was nonexistent.

How I Changed:
Now? If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no. My nightly ritual is my time—hot showers, an indulgent slather of my Black Truffle Oatmeal Soap & Lotion, and vibing to a self-love playlist. Because if I don’t treat myself like a priority, no one else will.

Your Turn:

• Say “no” without guilt
• Set “me-time” as a non-negotiable Luxurious moisturizing body oil.
• Remind yourself: you are not Amazon Prime. You do not have to deliver immediately.
