Save time and scratch 2 things off your to-do list at once by throwing a Self-Care Party! Combining self-care and your social life can be surprisingly easy and fun. Plus, the benefits for partygoers and everyone affected by the partygoers are undeniable. It’s a high-vibe hit that works instantly, but also has the capacity to resonate, literally, forever. So, believe and know this my friends, (yes you can quote me) that…

Self-care parties have the power to dramatically change the world for the better by one or more individuals evolving intentionally, healing and expanding human consciousness, one high-vibe creation at a time.

But…there’s one problem. Well…more like 99 problems… (shout out to 50 cent) Who the heck has the time and energy to do something so… so… well, selfish? We know there are stacks of chores, responsibilities, deadlines, events, work, and/or school that often come before both self-care and time with loved ones. Maybe it’s already hard enough getting enough sleep each night. We at The Night Sun genuinely empathize, and that’s precisely why we know you will not regret putting this “chore” at the top of your list.

If you have the time, throw in a moon ritual and tarot. A lot of times, we simply focus on tarot while enjoying healthy snacks and drinks.

• 99. A perfect combination for a self-care “date” could include a walk in a beautiful park while talking with your friend/s, partner-based exercises and stretches, grounding, sunbathing, meditation, and sharing your favorite new literature or quotes. If the timing aligns, throw in a solstice ritual.

In summary,

You can see from the examples above it is easy to incorporate several of these “chores” into a single self-care sesh without much planning or pre-thought into the mechanics or materials. Include however many activities that fit your time frame. We hope these ideas and resources help you create and seamlessly incorporate self-care parties into your healthy balanced lifestyle often.
