Self-Care Tips Below! ✨

Self-Care

Tip #1

Less screenies, more sleepies!
— Pinkie & Handtonio

Let's be honest, we all struggle with getting enough rest, and it's tempting to spend hours scrolling instead of catching some much needed shut-eye.

If you catch yourself doing your bedtime doom scrolling, imagine Handtonio giving you a friendly face punch to remind you to put down the phone and get your 8 hours of beauty sleep.

Trust us, your face will thank you for it! 😴💖

Self-Care

Tip #2

Easy with the caffeine, jellybean!
— Pinkie & Handtonio

Feeling like a hummingbird on steroids after that 3rd late-night cup of joe? Lol, been there!

Handtonio is the personification of our bad caffeine habits catching up with our poor bodies. Let’s take it easy on the caffeine, and give our thirsty bodies what they really need. H2O, baby!

Self-Care

Tip #3

Life is greater when you get off your tater!
— Pinkie & Handtonio

Ah, those days when even standing up feels like an Olympic feat. We’ve totally been there, and not here to judge.

While being a couch potato is sometimes needed, Pinkie & Handtonio are here to remind us not to become an actual potato. Try and balance things out with some movement.

Get up, stretch those legs, and take a leisurely stroll outside. Rest can take many forms, just remember it’s not all or nothing.

You’ve got this, fellow tater tot!

Tip #4

Listen to your tum-tum, sugar plum!
— Pinkie & Handtonio

Have you ever found yourself in a food coma? You know, when you keep eating and eating, and you feel like you're going to EXPLODE, but still go for “one more bite?” We've been there, and it's not a fun place to be.

Fear not, because Pinkie & Handtonio have a self-care tip that might just do the trick. When you're in the middle of a food frenzy and can't seem to stop, try asking yourself, "How many punches in am I?"

It's a goofy little trick, but it's a reminder to take care of ourselves and listen to our bodies when they're telling us to slow down.💓

Self-Care

Tip #5

Just let yourself poo, boo-boo!
— Pinkie & Handtonio

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in work and forget to take a break, even when nature calls.

Butt Pinkie & Handtonio are here to remind us that the bathroom is not an extension of the office! Don't flush your health down the toilet by being too focused on work and take your 💩 in peace.

Remember, it’s okay to take a break and let yourself poo, boo-boo!

Self-Care

Tip #6

Moderation is key, sweet pea!
— Pinkie & Handtonio

Pinkie & Handtonio's final Self Care tip serves as a summary of all the rest. Self-care isn’t about indulging in everything that makes us feel good, but rather finding a healthy balance that allows us to take care of ourselves without sacrificing our well-being. Achieving that sweet balance is what self-care is all about!

What happens when that balance is off though?
You get covered in vomit, of course 🤮.
