I find it hard to understand how everyone is now suddenly into Matcha, reformer pilates and skincare disguised as selfcare. Like it’s suddenly your way of life?

Tbh I love skincare too. I think what I was more talking about is that skincare being a part of selfcare and not the whole concept. 
The idea of selfcare and sheetmasks, candles is so enmeshed it’s hard to watch. Selfcare could also be building a community, going for walks, resting, things that can’t be commercialized.

couldn’t get to like matcha and pilates myself but skincare is top tier self care

I know what you mean, and I think trends are great to be introduced to new things. Some you discover and you like some you don’t, but with all the noise it can get hard to distinguish between what you genuinely enjoy vs what you enjoy because everyone else is also doing it

Matcha ✅ it’s just a better caffeine vehicle
Gua sha skincare ✅ face and neck is tense af 

But now I’m utterly weirded out by why I’ve been so fascinated by Pilates lately….

matcha still evades me but group reformer pilates is the most enjoyable workout i’ve found and the studio i go to has extremely driven and supportive instructors. 

skincare as self care i think has more capitalistic roots but the act of taking time to nurture yourself is precious mentally
