Start 2021 with self care

Have you heard of the boomerang effect? What you put out there you get back. Interesting. And in my experience when I put out positive energy I feel the positivity, and the same for negative energy.

For me 2021 is going to be the year to take better care of myself, surrounding myself with positive energy and avoiding negative as much as I can by doing little things like taking time out for a walk on our beautiful beach, treating my body to a massage from time to time, taking care of my skin, eating well, sleeping well. Little acts of kindness for myself. If we don't care for ourselves how can we effectively care for others from a cup half full?

Do whatever you need to fill your cup, meditate, have a long breakfast, give yourself some time. Let's start this year with some positive care. Experience a top-to-toe treatment, let someone care for you and refill your cup. I love the Pure Fiji Rituals for this. Imagine coconut milk and crushed coconut shells massaged on your body to remove dry skin, hot compress towels to finish the removal, and then the hydrating lotion massaged into your skin. Not only will your skin feel great but you'll feel great too. This is what our Well-being Body Treatments are all about. Here's to a great 2021!
