The Bookish Guide to Self Care by Kallie @pageandparlor
Are you a stressed-out bookworm? Do you need to take some time for yourself? Honestly? Same. That’s okay. You’re allowed the need to recharge. You don’t have to feel guilty about needing to do something for yourself so you can make yourself whole and come back relaxed, charged up, and ready for anything you need to do. I decided to share with you guys all the ways I try to wind down and do something for myself. I don’t count bathing as self care, guys. I know a lot of people...
