Here's how to achieve your self-care and wellness goals for the best summer ever

After a long year of studying for exams, grinding out essays and memorizing math formulas (on top of maximizing your social and extracurricular schedules), you deserve a break, bb. And while sheet masks and DIY scrubs are certainly soothing, feeling good about yourself both physically and mentally goes beyond a bubble bath. Healthy habits like prioritizing positive relationships, being gentle with yourself and finding joy in the little things are all great ways of practicing wellness.
