A Cup of Self Care

This Valentine’s Day, show a little extra love to that special someone who’s always there for you… yourself!

Sure, you could go for the usual slate of chocolates, wine, and roses. If that makes you happy, we are all about it! But you don’t have to head to the spa to indulge in well-earned self care.  Self care can happen in quiet, early-morning moments, in a short bedtime ritual, or in a 15-minute mid-afternoon coffee date with yourself.  

In fact, with a few special ingredients, you can turn your daily cup of tea or coffee into a cup of self care. 

We have even gone the extra mile for you and checked out the health claims of some of the most popular add-ins. We struck gold with a helpful infographic from Information is Beautiful, which compiles scientific studies testing the health benefits of supplements and superfoods. According to their data analysts, the add-ins below have science-backed promise – one of our favorite kinds of promise!

A bonus? Coffee itself makes the “worth it” list. Strong evidence shows it reduces risk of cardiovascular disease. So your treat your heart to a cup, and boost benefits with these proven add-ins.

And honorable mention for our favorite self-care standby
