5SOS Preferences and Requests (Part 2)

Self Care Masterlist

Hello Floppy Dishtowels!

This is going to be a fun and informational chapter for you. The boys and I compiled a list of things that just might help some of you. A lot of this is based on things I've tried or have gotten advice on. I'll also be doing some research for these topics!

It's going to be a long list, but it'll be worth it. 

You've been there for me all this time, so I want to give back and try to help at least one person. 

Welcome to the giant self care list written by Kenzie, Luke, Michael, Ashton, and Calum. xx

Self Love (Written by Ashton and Kenzie)

*Do laundry at least once a week. Your bandmates and buddies will thank you. Also, you'll feel much cleaner and happier.

*Wear your favorite underwear if it's a bad day! You'll feel a bit more confident in the lower zones. Oh yeah.

*Shower at least once every two days. Kenzie is sometimes bad at this. She seems to forget that it helps you feel better, but smelling good boosts confidence.

*Pizza is your friend. If it sounds good, eat it. 

*Fuzzy socks are heaven. Get one or two pairs and cozy up on the couch. 

*If today is a bad day, take a deep breath and remember that without you, this world would be empty.

*If you can, listen to your favorite songs or ones that soothe you. I recommend Trees by twenty one pilots, and Beside You by our boys.

*Try to go to concerts when you get a chance. I know a lot of us don't have money and that sucks a lot. See if there are any local bands or any festivals nearby that either don't cost money, or are pretty inexpensive. If you can afford to go to a concert, I recommend Halsey, 5SOS, All Time Low, and twenty one pilots. If they don't come to your city, write a strongly worded letter.

*Remember that you're unique and no one else can say they're you. Be proud of who you are and where you come from.

*Give your body some love. Buy something you've been wanting, whether it be food, something cosmetic, or lotion like. It's ok to treat yo self once in a while.

Hygiene and Stuff (Written by Calum and Luke)

*Invest in a antiperspirant/deodorant that you think smells nice. Speed Stick is a great brand.

*Shampoo and condition your hair. It will be super soft and lovely. Kenzie uses Hello Hydration by Herbal Essences. Recently she's been using Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Shampoo and conditioner. They're about $6-7 each.

*Rollerball fragrances are wonderful. You can take them wherever you go. You can find them in just about any drug store, makeup place, and department store.

*If you don't like rollerballs, Bath and Body Works has some $5 perfume that smells just as good, if not better. Kenzie likes Twilight Woods and Dark Kiss.

*Lotion and body wash. Just yes. Smell good and feel soft. What more could you want? Kenzie's obsessed with the Devonne by Demi Bathe and Chill Box. She got it for Christmas and probably won't ever get it again. It's pricey. About $50. But she likes the scent and the way her skin feels. Obviously, not all of us are millionares. So she also recommends Bath and Body Works sets, or Aveno. 

*Wash your face 1-2 times a day. Follow up with a toner if you want. Always use moisturizer! Even if you have oily skin, moisturize. Kenzie uses the Devonne by Demi 3 Step kit. It comes with face wash, hydrating mist, and moisturizing primer. She got it for Christmas the year before last. She loves it. For some reason, the kit is more expensive than it used to be. It's aroud $50. If you're interested, try to buy it around Valentine's day, Christmas, Mother's day, and New Years. There's usually a sale.
