As you reach the final day of your self-care journey, take a moment to celebrate how far you've come.
I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU.
However you completed this journey, I am proud. Sure, there was a gift each day to keep you going, but sitting down with the intention and the prompt takes work and dedication. Pat yourself on the back. Toot your own horn. Do a little dance. Whatever makes you smile and feel proud of yourself.
The work you've done to care for yourself and nurture your well-being during the busiest time of year is no easy feat. This is a time to honor the growth you've experienced, the lessons you've learned, and the strength you've shown. You've cultivated a greater understanding of yourself, and now you will reap the rewards of that commitment. Take pride in the fact that you've made self-care a priority, and let this be a reminder that you deserve to feel vibrant, alive, and fulfilled every day.
With this renewed energy, the next step is to continue the self-care practice you've embraced. Keep the momentum going by finding joy in the little things, from moments of quiet reflection to spontaneous acts of kindness toward yourself. Now that you've made space for peace and healing, celebrate it by making self-care a regular part of your routine. You’ve unlocked the power of taking care of yourself, so continue to nurture your well-being with intention, making room for rest, relaxation, and renewal whenever needed.

TODAY'S GIFT
25 DAYS BOOKISH BOX
Today, your gift is a candle from the bookish line. The Book Hangover candle. I thought it was very appropriate to end the box with something to help keep you going when you finish a book and have that WTF did I just read?-What just happened?-Why does it have to be over?-*crying emoji* feeling. This candle, from the Book Inspired collection, is available in the shop year-round. There are even fun book hangover boxed sets coming in the new year.
ALL OTHER 25 DAYS BOXES
Your gift today is a candle inspired by the sun. On the solstice (December 21) we begin to see the days get longer. The sun is returning and we remember that spring is only a few months away, even if the solstice marks the first day of winter.
I hope this candle feels like a celebration. I hope you can light it when you need a little boost. I hope it helps chase the seasonal depression away.
Thank you for coming on this self-care journey with me this year. I hope to see you again next year.
