Self care is important—you know, eating something delicious, falling asleep, reading a damn book. Self care is intentionally doing whatever shit you want. One popular method of caring for the self is to fill a bath tub up with hot water, leave that hot water in the bath tub, and then sit in it for a long time and chill. Maybe you read a book? Wine is probably okay? The point is not to shower, as many of us do, in a blind panic 20 minutes late each morning, but to instead savor the act of rendering yourself less smelly.
