Editor’s note

SJOE! What a year this has been. It was long, but at the same time, it felt like it flew by!

There are many things that helped me survive this year, and self-care is one of them. To have prioritised it made this year bearable.

We still have a few weeks left of 2021 and we need to make them count. If you don’t know where and how to start your self-care routine, this edition will be your guide.

In this edition, we look at how you can create your “soft life” at home with the best buys for your bathroom that can give you the best self-care day.

We have also spent most of our days at home and unable to travel. In this issue, we give you places you can escape to and let your hair down, refresh and rejuvenate.

The world is moving away from the conventional association of selfcare when it comes to women, it’s now also acknowledged that self-care knows no gender – because it is the art and act of consciously putting yourself first. I unpack what self-care is for me. While we also share with you the best ladies’ mood-enhancing beauty tricks.

Did you know that consuming fruit, vegetables, and exercising can make you happier? We share the relation between your gut and your mood. And so many other things that can help you live on the soft side of life.

It doesn’t matter what self-care is to you, as long as you make it a lifestyle you would have made progress and set yourself up for future success. And, remember to always choose your health!
