SELF CARE NIGHT ROUTINE | pampering tips + habits

Well hello there guys! I'm currently uploading this video from Portugal but I wanted to take some time to share an updated night routine that focuses on self care.... I've talked a lot about self care on the channel because I really do think it's important to take time for yourself even during busy seasons of life. I'd love to hear what a night in self care would look like for you in the comments below...could be a great way to give everyone ideas on different self-care acts they can do :)

I actually needed this video today - I’ve been really tough on myself physically and mentally lately, so this was a nice reminder to give myself a break and stop pushing myself to give 250% every day. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so to say, so thank you for the reminder. Honestly, the best way I care for myself is to set aside an hour twice a week to ONLY do things I enjoy. Once a week, my favorite TV show airs, so I sit down with that and just enjoy. Then I spend an hour every Saturday creating my weekly bullet journal spread for the following week. Both of those activities center me and make me feel like I have some control over my time.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Amanda I LOVE this comment ! Really appreciate you taking time to share all of this...I go through periods of being my own worst enemy too so you’re not alone ❤️ Life naturally has its ups and downs. I love your form of self care...there’s something so satisfying about watching a show you really want to watch and journaling 😍😍😍 Happy self caring Amanda ! Sending positive vibes your way 😘

[@zainubsheikh8198]

I know this video was made ages ago, but I recently watched this video again and it was a great reminder on why people and women should practice self-care. I had my first self-care evening in a very long time and I loved every second of it. After a stressful few weeks at work just sitting with myself and getting rid of any negative energy or feelings, with things I enjoy is so good. So thank you, Caitlin, for reminding me why I need to practice some self-love and care.

[@isabelaoliveira6999]

This was a very relaxing video to watch on a self care night of my own. I usually make something I am dying to eat but didn't have the time or strenght to make, take myself on a mini shopping spree (and buy something I am really in need of but keep pushing further for later, and pens of course) but ultimately, I spend time on myself, listening to what I want to do on that moment, whatever it may be. Self care for me doesn't always mean to pause and take a breather, although sometimes, like today, is just what I want and need.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Exactly! Self care is whatever makes you feel good inside 👌🏼 and haha shopping sprees are definitely an act of self care for me too...nothing like a new pen 😂

[@dianewalker9783]

like most women I am terrible at putting myself on my own priority list, but that is very slowly changing (I say slowly, cos I'm being honest, lol ). Number one self care tip for me is letting go....it's ok to ask for help and not be able to do it all yourself (and most importantly, not feel guilty about it either). Secondly is taking some time to read, just to relax and enjoy a walk into another world for a little while. :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

It’s a process, it takes time ❤️ I love that tip Diane ...it’s something I need to get better at doing ! And love the reading tip too- escaping into another world is so relaxing 😍

[@malaikaloveangel]

I would keep my phone and everything else aside and spent time with my puppy. Just sitting with him while he sleeps calms me down. Loved your video. Thank you for sharing this, it’s really helpful and has motivated me to have some me time. 💖💖💖

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ahh reading this makes me want to get a dog ASAP ! Thanks for the love ❤️

[@jessofalltrade]

thank you for the reminder to take care of my self more and a reminder to let the stress go and take time for myself. You're such an inspiration. All the love! 💕💕

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

My pleasure, Jessa...thank-you for your kind words ❤️ sending stress free vibes your way !

[@LovezDemiSelena]

Meditation for sure is on my must do list on a selfcare night. I have a tendency to think and worry too much. It helps me calm my mind for a bit and just gives me a good feeling

[@FlatChewLens]

I LOVED this video!! I need to have a full night of self-care like this, from the meal to the positive smells in your living space and a good night’s sleep. So glad I watched this!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks ! And YES, have a “treat yo self” night ASAP...you won’t regret it ! 🙏😍

[@thatmanwafiq9826]

you know what, watching this really makes me want to take care myself 😘 i've been hard on myself lately, so i need ' me time ' right now, anw thnks for the vids gurl! love it! it really inspired me

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

The biggest smile is on my face, thank-you so much for your comment 😍 Hope you are able to give yourself a bit of a break...I know what it’s like to be tough on yourself and it’s no fun ! Treat yourself !

[@AlemdasTendencias]

OMG, how I needed to watch this video! On my self care nights I like to use my best beauty products - and there’s nothing like clean sheets!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

❤️❤️❤️ yesss me too, Carolina ! I bring out all the good products haha 👌🏼😍😂

[@packnetadaija]

I love this video, it honestly is giving me the inspiration to begin taking care of myself again. That quote from you book that talked about priorities is so true, for me its defiantly my daughter, my boyfriend, school, and my house....sometimes I just put myself right at the bottom of my priorities. I got to focus on my self care a lot more instead of just laying around and watching tv and scrolling through social media all day I need to get better at self care and self love....maybe this will help with my low self esteem. Thank you for this amazing video

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thank you for this thoughtful comment Adaija ❤️ Self care definitely has helped me with self love too...during times where I’m feeling a bit low about myself, it’s almost always because I haven’t been taking time to do things that make me feel good. I wish you good luck on putting yourself higher up on that list 💕

[@packnetadaija]

Thank you so much I really appreciate that ❤️ and you really made my day responding to my little comment even though you get thousands of comments ❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

It’s my absolute pleasure to reply...probably my favourite part about putting out videos 💕 have a great day!

[@haileypomara6515]

This is awesome I’m definitely going to have to focus on self care more this summer and I know I can always count on Caitlin for a great vid! Ily❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Aww thank-you Hailey ❤️ I hope it inspired you to have a “me night” 😘

[@kellysdaybook]

Love this so important to put yourself first xx

[@fa1rumi]

Such a wonderful video and something i will keep in mind. Messaging from Dubai and moving to Canada soon. Good to see young women taking care of their health and life.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

That’s amazing...wishing you good luck with your move ❤️ and thank-you so much for the love !

[@MsPandachen]

Iced coffee Tipp 🤓 i freeze coffee and milk so it does not water down when the ice is melting 😊

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Mind is blownnnn ...GREAT tip !

[@bhomianeha]

This is actually food for thought, thank you for posting this Caitlin! hope you're having a great time in Portugal!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

I’m so happy to hear that...no need to thank, it’s my pleasure !! And I’m having a great time 👌🏼😍❤️

[@ReadByAmanda]

this is something i really need to do. i recently broke it off with a guy i was really in love with and i really need to take time for myself. thank you for this amazing video.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Stay strong girl...taking time for yourself is a great way to heal ❤️

[@danielledallam9286]

Love your videos! I just ordered this book (Girl Wash Your Face) the other day, I can’t wait to get it in the mail!!

[@marymeredith450]

When I am really busy, I have to schedule self care. Like block out a section of my planner and schedule myself during that time. I've recently discovered that I function best when I have 9 or more hours of sleep (it's a lot I know). I think in different seasons you'll discover the best ways to care for yourself

[@cynthiasmith5138]

I also add in my weekly toenail filing.. I never cut my nails just regular file time. Nightly moisturizer and lip balm are always on my bed side... love this reminder. We are worth taking care of daily.. P.S. My iced code is awesome! I freeze left over morning coffee, never diluted iced-coffee. Smiles and joy...

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Grooming is a great form of self care 😍 OOOOooooOoo I may have to try doing that myself!! Thanks for sharing Cynthia !

[@keshiachristelle5112]

i just love self care videos, especially yours because it always feel new and fresh. it gets me excited. 🙂

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

I’m so touched to hear that ❤️❤️❤️ thank-you so much Keshia !!!

[@sophia-y6q]

I recently discovered your videos and you are so sympatic 😊and i love how authentic you are :) so thank you for this great video! Have a great day 💕

[@denisekunze7324]

Thanks for the amazing Video! I really want to read again and Yoga with Adriene is my fav! And candels & music is a must on my selfcare nights💖💕

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks Denise ! Music is a great self care addition 😍

[@jenisjose8171]

Awesome video ❤️..... I got to focus on self care more. Thanks caitlin💕

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thank YOU Jenis...I think everyone feels the same way...it’s not an easy thing to do ❤️ wishing you lots of self care nights in your future !

[@wvdrummerchick]

Loved this video! Definitely needed it! Thanks Caitlin!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

My pleasure Lyndsay 💕

[@Ayeitsb3cca]

For a night of self care I love to take a bath with some music playing, nice smelling candles, and a fun bath bomb!!

[@abbyvyn1920]

I hope your enjoying Portugal!! The pictures on your Instagram are so pretty! Love your videos💛

[@monicaborges8150]

Just found you now! Loved the detail of you saying "água" :D :D Love from Portugal :)

[@anabela7003]

I see your video and it make me feel more motivated to have my life together again, I feel bad because I lot of things happened to me, and when bad things happened I usually stop doing my self care routine, and then i feel worst 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

❤️❤️❤️ Don’t feel bad Ana ! It’s a normal thing to do...I am guilty of that exact same thing...we’ll both get better at putting ourselves first 🙏💕

[@eve.m1026]

So today was an AWFUL day for me:((( and it was so crazy that i just couldn't stop crying! Something made me take my journal and write down everything that happened today. When i was finished, i was so happy (some how) getting rid of all that negativity that ruins my day makes me super happy! I am giving an advice to anyone emotional or just busy in general- Take a few minutes of your day to write down all you day on one piece of paper!😉😘❤️

[@DebbieDavidson06]

EdiTEd I have started journaling after a several years hiatus. I do it the old fashioned way now, it is therapeutic. This past month has been devastating for me. The only.place I had for comfort and release.was my journal.

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Ooooh that caprese sandwich looked delicious!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks! And yes, exactly! Always makes my brain feel cleaner when my space is clean too !

[@iliamorgan]

A must for a me day or self care day is hair treatment. A hair mask or just coconut oil. Just soak it and let it be. I typically like to exfoliate and take a detox bath. I love to cuddle with my puppies and just watch tv :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ummm all of this sounds FANTASTIC 😍😍 I need to invest in a puppy so I can experience puppy cuddles lol 😂

[@gabrielleperez6548]

Gurl, I am living vicariously thru your videos. And oh, I forgot to tell you that you're the reason why I found Jordan Peterson from your book rec video couple months ago. The guy has been my internet father since that day so THANK YOU SO MUCH HUHU.

[@SweetAngelPinay06]

I need to do this. Thank you for doing this!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thank you for watching Josephine ! Means a lot ! Happy self caring ❤️

[@franciscobaranda1157]

I desperately need a self care routine. I’m creating one that fits me! Regarding that good looking iced coffee, how can I do it??! Pleaseee

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

That’s the best way to do it...create one that fits you ! Haha as for the ice coffee, I make a hot coffee with my French press , let the coffee cool down and then poor it over ice !

[@piusvalerius]

I’d love to see more book videos again! Also about novels maybe, because although I enjoy reading self help/improvement books I feel like the Internet is flooded with with that kind of content and I would appreciate suggestions for a good, old-fashioned novel! 😊

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Great point, I haven’t done many discussions on fiction books in quite a bit...I’ll try doing one soon 💕

[@Lea2009]

watching a movie always relaxes me. Breakfast At Tiffany's specifically

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

YESSS awesome tip! Mine is You’ve Got Mail !

[@Lea2009]

plus, if i'm at my boyfriends it's something we can do toether kinda a self care/date night in thing

[@marissaperez8983]

wow you´re amazing!! I really want to be like you, so organized and always taking time to care yourself. Thanks for be muy inspiration :D

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Don’t think I’ve always got it together because I struggle as well! I’m human ! But I’m happy to hear my videos inspire you Marissa...thank-you for watching 💕😍

[@spiralout1839]

[@coolgurl6609]

[@Ayeitsb3cca]

[@Fernandacruzbl]

I would write something about my day and how I felt with the thing I did that day, that's a must when I meditate about self care c: pd: I love your routines and your way to do regular things, just keeps me motivated

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Love it 👌🏼😍 and thanks, that’s so sweet of you to say 💕☺️

[@darshanmathukiya7169]

Hello Caitlin waddup :)) I have been commenting in many of your videos for making a video on Night life in Toronto but maybe it is missed out in comments section . So I have been asking this cause I am also coming to Canada in Toronto in the Jan intake at U of T so I am curious to know about how night life is like in Toronto. Please make a video on night life I am too curious to know how it is in Toronto.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

I’m not the best person to ask about night life in Toronto because I tend to go out for dinners versus bars/clubs lol ...there’s lots of bars and clubs in the city though! Easy to find something 👌🏼

[@darshanmathukiya7169]

Caitlin's Corner ohh than it's Awesome😘😁 I was just curious about how the city looks during night Time . The beauty of city when we take long drives through city and fun things 😅❤
