An ominous burning smell filled my nostrils.
I was standing in the bathroom, wet hair dripping down the back of my pajama top, hair dryer in hand.
I had just turned on my trusty Conair, when it shut off abruptly and made a funny, crackling noise.
Never a good sound.
I peered into the long nozzle and saw the metal coils glow an angry red before my hair dryer kicked the bucket.
"RIP dryer, you served proudly" I whispered.
This incident got me thinking…
I had pushed my hair dryer past it's limit for years and as women, we're not that different.
Stay with me here..
We often push ourselves beyond what's reasonable, until we burn out.
Like that one morning when I put a gallon of milk inside my pantry and a box of cereal in my fridge, because I was in total zombie mode after weeks of little to no sleep.
Whyyyy do we wait until something ridiculous happens to start taking care of ourselves?
Enough is enough.
So today, i urge you to...
Give yourself time to rest.
Give yourself time to play.
Give yourself time to be silly.
This is your unofficial permission slip to make some time for you and be a little more like the lady in my illustration below 💕
