Why Self Cared?
Why Self Cared?
Self Cared centres the “self” in self-care. Self-care is all about prioritising your needs – whatever they may be. It’s about more than just “zen-ing out”. Depending on how you’re feeling, you may actually want to “punch it out,” or perhaps you’re simply looking “just to be.”
We’re here to carve out a little spot on the Internet to co-create a space for all kinds of self- care practices, together – not just the Instagrammable ones.
We don’t believe you need permission from us to define what self-care is to you. We’re simply here to offer a helping hand – by curating our favourite self-care products for every occasion and mood, and helpful resources to assist you in meeting your needs.
