I have recently started making myself self care bags and they are really helping me. They are cheap to make and are very helpful and remind me to be happy. It can contain anything from sweets to chocolate to hand gel. Anything you can think of.
I think that this will help other people as well.
This is what my current self care bag contains:
1 pack of Strawberry fruitella
1 pack of sour fruitella
1 pack of exotic fruitella
1 small chocolate bar
Drumstick sweets
2 Drumstick lollies
Love heart sweets
4 bunny sweets
A pack of fizzers
Haribo heart
Haribo ring
Small bag of Haribo supermix
Small bag of Haribo tangfastics
Small bag of Haribo starmix
Not exactly all very healthy but if it reminds me to be happy it reminds me to be happy which is good. I can just brush my teeth afterwards.
