Get ready to start the new year off on a positive note with Self-Love Month, starting on January 1! This month-long celebration is all about focusing on self-care and self-love. It's a time to reflect on our own well-being and prioritize our mental, emotional, and physical health. The concept of self-love has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until recent years that it gained more recognition and importance in our society. So let's kick off the year by showing ourselves some love and appreciation – because we deserve it!
