This episode of Self-Care Saturday is sponsored by Comfort Eats. Comfort Eats sells custom care packages to American Expats and their loved ones that want to send them a taste of home. We know self-care isn't always candles and bubble baths, sometimes it's a dance party and a bag of Cheese Puffs. For those times Comfort Eats provides that "from home" care package experience without all the crazy international fees and customs frustrations. Our mission is to bring that comfort and joy back into our daily lives. Check us out at www.comforteatsdelivery.com
