So... what does it truly mean to be unapologetic with your self-care? It means to be fully intent on making sure that you are cared for physically, mentally, and emotionally. It means prioritizing yourself (even for just a moment) with no guilt, doubt, or need for explanation.
Unapologetic Self-Care is crucial, but it's not as easy as one may think!
My name is LaDonna Standback and I am the Owner & Creator of unEarth Body Care LLC. The idea for UBC came to me years ago, and continued to hover in the back of my mind for years while I was going through one of the toughest times in my life; battling anxiety & depression, then becoming a new mother, while still holding onto childhood trauma & past relationship traumas. It was ROUGH, but at that
time all I could really focus on was being present for my son. And I was giving absolutely NOTHING to myself.
I then made the decision to start attending therapy sessions, and it is there that I received a bit of confirmation. My therapist at the time suggested that I carve out a bit of "Me Time" each week to care for myself, and I knew exactly what I was going to do.
I was going to whip up some sugar scrub, mix up some oils, light my candles, and take a nice, long bubble bath.
And that is exactly what I did one evening out of each week. I called this time my "Quiet Queen Getaways" and it is where I had some of my most clearest & calmest moments. It gave me something for MYSELF to look forward to & did a world of good for my mental health & emotional wellness, as well as my skin was IMMACULATE (Lol).
It was hard sometimes to fit in the time, but I made a promise to myself that I would ensure that I was well, so that I could in-turn give the best parts of me to being a mother (and now a wife!)
I have done a ton of healing work these past years and now I am honored to share a part of my healing journey with you in hopes that you can have your "Queen" moments too!
My intention for unEarth Body Care is to help you pamper & indulge your Body, Mind, and Soul, with no guilt, doubt, or need for explanation. And I hope that you will feel empowered to prioritize yourself UNAPOLOGETICALLY.
Peace & Blessings,
LaDonna S.
