Let’s keep it real, despite what many social media influencers promote, loving yourself doesn’t always feel like a walk in the park. From the struggle of constantly pinpointing your so-called flaws every time you look in the mirror, to the difficulties of finding something nice to say to yourself, some elements of self-love just can’t be fulfilled with a face mask, bubble bath, or new outfit.
