When I was in elementary school my mom planned a trip for us to go to Hawaii we had never been and I was extremely excited to go.

This week we have a guest blogger @ARoseEssentials to give you some great tips on self care and making through your work week!

The human body is so well-equipped that it sends you signals that you need to take time for yourself. It may come in the form of a breakdown or an illness that forces you to stay put for a while so that you can heal and rest. Well, you shouldn’t run yourself into the ground and wait to breakdown before you start to focus on self-care. Here are a few (FREE!) things you can do to keep yourself centered, balanced, focused and most importantly, healthy.
