“I feel it's just kind of finding my moments and I think everybody has a little self-care kind of regime and for me, it's like finding what makes me at peace in a way and I think everybody's so different. So it's just finding a routine for you and what works for you. I think for me I love skin care.” She shared [8:47 onwards]

She continued:

“I think cooking is one for me where it's just really taking time to do little details and I'll do little stir fries and in the carrots I'll make little flowers out of the carrots because it's just like putting time for me because I'm special and I'm important for myself.”
