This hand-engraved cutie is the perfect reminder to take a moment to offer ourselves some kindness. Wrapping your arms around yourself is not only important as a metaphor for self-love, studies show that it’s a physiological boost to mood and well-being! A 20 second self-hug a day keeps the cortisol (stress hormone) at bay, releases a flood of oxytocin (love hormone!) and serotonin (happiness hormone), and stimulates the thymus gland which can improve your immunity. Hugs are magic, and hugging yourself absolutely counts. Keep this little lovely for yourself, or pass her along to someone you love.
