BEAUTY: RICH GIRL MANICURE
Turns out, healthy nails start with happy cuticles. Think simple rituals like cuticle sticks, ultra-hydrating hand creams, and even an overnight retinol treatment—to keep hands looking polished. The secret? Consistent moisture—because no polish in the world can hide dry, ragged cuticles.
WELLNESS: A MORNING ROUTINE WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA, GET TO IT
Setting even the smallest morning habit—no matter how modest—can quietly give your day a sense of centeredness + calm, especially when social media distractions are tucked away. Experts like Dr. Shannon O’Neill say that intentionally carving out “me-time” first thing in the morning can anchor your emotions, boost well-being, and help reclaim a bit of control in our ever-busy lives.
CAREER: REMOTE EMPLOYEES NEED TO DO THIS WEEKLY
For remote workers, success often comes down to communication and consistency. Sending a weekly update that outlines completed tasks, outstanding questions, and goals helps keep managers aligned and makes your contributions visible. A quick daily check-in message, along with scheduling regular 1:1s or using tools like Slack huddles, can also build stronger connections and create the sense of presence that’s sometimes missing when you’re not in person.

ON SELF CARE: Caring for yourself doesn’t mean “me first,” it means “me too”. — L.R. Knost
