      20 self-care and wellness must-haves for modern mindulfness

      Summer is about to end and before we go back to the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, why not savour in the slow sunny afternoons and indulge in three more weeks of pampering?
      These everyone seems to be living for the Gram and taking some time out for yourself seems nearly impossible.

      The good news is that there is no singular self-care method that works for everyone. For a few, it can simply mean lighting incense sticks to ground  themselves. For others, it takes 5-minute journaling to clear your mind – all you have to do is carve out a few minutes of your time.
      Whatever you need, Emirates Woman have culled in cult-favorites from the internet that will help achieve inner calm before the storm.
