Have you ever been sitting with a facemask on for your #selfcare and thinking… is it working, am I doing it right? Jessica with Pretty Prints and Paper takes us beyond the facemask and reminds us self-care is so much more than indulging yourself. In what turns into a self-care detox session for Colleen, Jamie, and Stephanie you’ll be nodding your head in agreement and re-evaluating what you think you know about self-care.
Jessica is a bullet journal and hand lettering artist and you can follow her on Instagram at Pretty Prints and Paper.
