A Stylish Girl’s Guide To Modern Self-Care

Move over meditation; we’ve got something more sparkly in mind.

When it comes to modern self-care practices, we’ve come a long way since bubble baths and pedicures. (Although we do indulge in both—a lot! And can someone please tell us when OPI’s Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around is back in stock?) These days, anything that “feels good” can be considered a conscious act of self-care intended to boost your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Sure, memes about “retail therapy” are the jokey eye-roll fodder that fills our social pages. But around here, we take it seriously. Like. It’s. Our. Job. Because it is! And because our customers tell us that our handcrafted jewelry and products are what they look forward to wearing every day. As we see it, surrounding yourself with something that makes you feel radiant, colorful, joyful, and pampered is the highest level of self-care possible.

Ready to give your self-care regimen an upgrade? Here’s a list of some of our favorite ways to feel sparkly.

Buy Yourself Flowers

Petals with pizzaz not only make us smile; they also make our hearts skip a beat. Particularly when they’re glammed up with crystals, incredible color, and gemstones. Treating ourselves to floral jewelry reminds us that loving ourselves should include gifting ourselves tokens of appreciation—especially luxurious ones. And for no other reason than it’s an incredibly kind thing to do. Just like Miley Cyrus taught us: “I can love me better, baby.”

Light It Up

Ever wonder why glitter, shimmer, and shine always seem to boost your mood? Science will tell you that anything that catches the light will grab your attention and create a momentary distraction from concerns. But aesthetically speaking, sparkly things have the power to reignite your childhood wonder and promote an overall sense of happiness. In other words, if it makes you oooh and ahhh, your brain says, “Oh yeah!”

Make Scents Of It All

When it comes to instantly creating a blissful mood, your nose knows how to do it. And while deep breaths are certainly helpful, adding a sweet floral aroma will help you find your happy place even faster. Look to lavender or rose-scented products, preferably with natural ingredients, to trigger your limbic system into a state of serenity. Just a few sniffs of body lotion or a sachet are all you need for serious ahhhh…

Color You Happy

No one knows the positive power of color like Holly Yashi. In fact, it’s what made us famous. So, while adorning ourselves in vibrant, chromatic jewelry is part of our everyday wellness routine, we also indulge in extra layers of optimism with vibrant scarves, wraps, and socks. Too much color, perhaps? We say there’s no such thing.
