My Coffee Mug is my Oracle?! - Storytime for Badasses

Selfcare is little acts of ALIVE

This morning, I stared into my coffee mug like it was a crystal ball. (Spoiler: hard to see anything through the cream!) But in that moment of hoping for advice, I realized something hilarious: I have been expecting my caffeine to do what my self-care is supposed to do.

Think about it — we want one magic fix. One latte, one yoga class, one bubble bath that’s supposed to erase all stress and turn us into 'glowing goddesses of zen'. But then… boom. Two hours later, we’re grumpy bitches snapping at the dog because somebody left socks on the floor.

Here’s the truth from my mug whispered (rather enchanting, by the way):

✨ Self-care is not a one-hit wonder.

✨ It’s not in the latte, or the face mask, or the 3-day juice cleanse.

✨ It’s in the little playful acts that remind you you’re ALIVE.

Like dancing in your kitchen to an old love song. Like doodling flames on the corner of your to-do list. Like flirting with the mirror before you brush your teeth.

Selfcare is sass, not sacrifice

Self-care is sass, not sacrifice. And honestly, the more we laugh at ourselves — the less “meh” we feel.

So, consider this your permission slip from the coffee gods: stop waiting for the “perfect” ritual, and just choose the one thing today that feels deliciously, and rebelliously yours.

Because, darling badass, if you can find the oracle in your coffee mug, you can find the 'huzzah' in your life;)
