nourish thyself

Self-care has been commodified. Buy this. Go there. Do that. Unplug–but first, read 10 steps on why you should. The notion of handling yourself with love and care has collided with consumerism in a way that isn’t nourishing to deep and sometimes desperate needs. In order to nourish ourselves, we must seek the things that have nutrients. Mani-pedis, expensive flights, and overpriced candles are nutrient deficient. Vitamin D, a love letter to yourself, a piece of fruit or a conversation with a loved one are nutrient rich. Rather than treat yourself, what would it look like to nourish thyself? This rayo & honey collaboration with GLOSSRAGS intent is to acknowledge and honor struggles, especially the unspoken ones. The ones that occupy our minds, cripple our will, and wounds our hearts. The struggles we didn’t think we’d make it through and the struggles we still grapple with today. We see you, we are you.
