We believe caregivers need time that is dedicated to just them and their needs. They need time to decompress, release stress, and find some moments of calm and peace in between their busy schedules that are often mapped out hour by hour.
But this is not just a fun saying, research suggest that self-care, relaxation, and respite actually has the potential to improve the quality of life for both caregivers and care recipients! It even has the potential to increase caregivers' abilities and confidence.
This week, we had the joy of collaborating with Beauty Bus Foundation to host a Caregiver Spa Day filled with free facials, haircuts, hairstyling, manicures, and more!
Working with the Beauty Bus Foundation and their volunteers is always a treat whether it's their passion for their craft or knack for connection. We are grateful these Beauty Professionals donate their time to care for others.
One of their proud volunteers posted on their Instagram,
"Today I provided natural makeup looks for a few caregivers that care for people with Alzheimer’s. This hits home for me since I’m a caregiver myself. I love giving back to the community with the help of the @beautybusfoundation and @leezascareconnection 💙💚 Thank you for having me as part as today’s glam team!✨
Our Caregiver Spa Day was a warm day of sharing stories, laughs, smiles and even some tears.
If you can't get to a free spa day like ours, we have some other great self-care tips on our resource page!
