This or That: Self Care Edition

wonderfulRainbow817 May 17th, 2022

Alrighty! So we are talking about Mental Wellness this week and one of the best ways to maintain our wellness is by taking some time for ourselves, a self care break. In light of that I thought we’d take some time and play a little game of this or that! For example, Vanilla Ice Cream or Chocolate. You’d either choose Vanilla or Chocolate. Instead this will be a self care version. Everyone ready???


  1. Bubble bath or shower?

  2. Walk or a jog?

  3. Indoor or outdoors?

  4. Bright lights or complete darkness?

  5. Weighted blankets or no blankets?

  6. Nap or movies?

  7. Snacks or no snacks?

  8. Spa or beach?

  9. Dance or Yoga?

  10. Paint or music?


Let us know some of your other self care activities!

MyNameIsNicole May 18th, 2022

@wonderfulRainbow817

I don't like the sand in my toes, and I also don't like the sand😭

Interestingly I am afraid of water. I just like going for the seagull and breeze

MyNameIsNicole May 18th, 2022

@wonderfulRainbow817 the breeze is good, I agree. If there was no sand, and no people perhaps I can give it a try haha.

What do you do at the beach?

wonderfulRainbow817 OP May 19th, 2022

@MyNameIsNicole

Lay on a chair and watch the sunrise come up. I love the breeze, listening to seagulls, and the machines that lift the sand up.

❤️ Thank you for the great post, Rainbow! You are amazing. ❤️

❤️ Bubble bath! It´s way funnier. ❤️

❤️ Neither! But if I´m forced to choose, a walk (or just running to the nearest ice cream place I can find). ❤️

❤️ Indoors! I´m capable of pretending I´m homesick just to avoid a party. ❤️

❤️ Complete darkness! I hate yellow lights and love the night. Right now, my devices and the balcony are the only illumination. ❤️

❤️ Weighted blankets! It actually depends on the season, but if I have my air conditioner I´m fine. ❤️

❤️ I´m not a napper, so definitely movies! ❤️

❤️ If the snacks are things I love, like chocolate or cookies, then obviously snacks! ❤️

❤️ The beach is my real home! Besides, my beach (the one I always go to) has some spa things. ❤️

❤️ Hmm... This is tough. I´d say dance because it´s funnier, but there´s a yoga position that literally consists of laying down, so neither and both at the same time! ❤️

❤️ Music, no doubts! My drawings are fatal, in more than one way. The day I can draw is the day the apocalypse begins ❤️

❤️ Adding and tagging more wonderful people: @enchantedlove @hopedreamlove @SuryanshSingh ❤️

❤️ Nicole, thank you for the tag! You are numinous ❤️
