About Self-Care

05/13/2019 By Claire 2 Comments

Lately, I have been having lots of doubts and questions and have been going through a reassessment phase. It was time to set up my goals and priorities, and I needed to choose a direction in order to be where I want to be in ten years, and who I want to be.

I will not explain the details of my reflexion, but I want to say that I came to a point where I needed self-care. And self-care is not just about sheet masks and cheat meals as one can imagine scrolling down on Instagram. For me it was a deeper acknowledgement of the state of things today in my life and making decisions that I think will be suitable for the future as I want it to be. Of course, not everything goes according to plan all the time, but if I do not try and work, nothing will happen.

And it was surprising for me to actually realize how some things had gone and how I let some others escalate. In reaction to that, I made decisions that were not easy to make. In this regard, I took the time to understand my deepest feelings and reactions to events, and this “inventory” helped me understand what I needed to to next. I think self-care is also about respecting oneself and take who one is and how one works into account, to make decisions in life one can live with.

I know, this post may seem strange in the sense that I never once mentionned the subject of my thinking. But I was hoping that this post could then echo with many different situations and that it could help other people in similar moments.


Dernièrement, j’ai eu de nombreux doutes et questions, et j’ai traversé une phase de réajustement. Il était temps pour moi de fixer des objectifs et des priorités, et j’ai eu besoin de choisir une direction afin de parvenir là où je souhaiterais arriver dans dix ans, et devenir qui j’aimerais être.

Je n’entrerai pas dans les détails de ma réflexion, mais j’aimerais dire que je suis arrivée à un point où j’ai eu besoin de prendre du temps pour moi. Et ce temps pour moi, ce n’était pas simplement mettre un sheet mask et profiter de quelques cheat meals, à la manière du self-care sur Instagram. Pour moi, cela a été un profond réajustement des priorités dans ma vie aujourd’hui dans ma vie, et la prise de nombreuses décisions qui je pense, seront convenables pour mon avenir tel que je le souhaite. De toute évidence, tout ne se passe pas toujours comme prévu tout le temps, mais si je ne fais pas le nécessaire et que je ne travaille pas pour cet objectif, rien ne se passera.

Et c’était surprenant pour moi de réaliser comment certaines choses avaient évolué et comment j’en avais laissé d’autres s’aggraver. En réaction à cela, j’ai pris des décisions qui n’étaient pas faciles à prendre. A cet égard, j’ai pris le temps de comprendre mes émotions et réactions les plus profondes face aux événements, et procéder à cet “inventaire” m’a aidé à comprendre ce dont j’avais besoin pour la suite. Je pense que prendre soin de soi, c’est aussi se respecter soi-même et prendre en compte qui l’on est et comment on travaille, pour prendre des décisions avec lesquelles on peut vivre.

Je sais, ce post peut paraître étrange dans le sens où je n’ai jamais mentionné une seule fois ce qui se trame réellement dans ma vie personnelle. Mais j’espérais que cet article pourrait alors faire écho à de nombreuses situations différentes et qu’il pourrait aider d’autres personnes traversant des étapes similaires dans leur vie.

My personal favourite cute villages in Alsace:

📍Eguisheim— a unique village based on a circle-shaped urbanism
📍Kayserberg— a hidden gem with very well-decorated houses
📍Riquewihr— medieval charm at its finest
📍Colmar— a well-known bigger city with a beautiful city centre
📍Ribeauvillé— a cute village with coloured houses in the midst of vineyards

A change of greenery— I’ve heard it so many ti A change of greenery— I’ve heard it so many times these past months: "𝙻𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚘𝚗" But all too often, I was just too overwhelmed to understand it. It’s just another way of saying “That’s life”, right? As if life had its own path to follow and there was nothing you could ever do about it. Thinking of it now, that’s a very Buddhist way of thinking. How many times have I heard my mom say “that’s the way it is” and urging me to make peace with the fact that “only change is permanent in this life”. At 12 years old, hearing that was absolutely terrifying to me. How could I build any relationships in this life if they were to dissolve in the end anyway? Quite nihilistic too. Now reaching the end of my 20s, I find myself learning to accept it. Maybe it’s not so much focusing on change itself anymore, but rather how to adapt to it that made me grow. Or, let’s get real, it took me a lot of time and energy to adapt, in order to go on. That’s probably what kept my mind so busy.

🇬🇧 Special post—It’s been hard for me to 🇬🇧 Special post—It’s been hard for me to write this post, as I have very special (and probably unexpected) news to share.

Nicolas and I have decided to part ways. We separated at the end of 2022 after 11 years together. I will not be sharing details about the reasons behind this decision, as I do not wish to create unnecessary drama about personal matters in this already difficult moment. Nonetheless, I want to keep the good memories we created together. Our relationship made me grow in many ways, which I am grateful for.

Obviously, Dresscape will no longer be a couple account, but solely mine (Claire). I hope you will stay by my side anyways 🤍

🇫🇷 Post spécial—Il a été difficile pour moi d'écrire ce post, car j’ai une nouvelle très spéciale (et probablement inattendue) à vous partager.

Nicolas et moi avons décidé de continuer notre chemin chacun de notre côté. Nous nous sommes séparés à la fin de 2022 après 11 ans de relation. Je ne partagerai aucun détail sur les raisons de cette décision, car je ne souhaite pas créer de drama inutile sur des aspects personnels en ces moments déjà difficiles. Néanmoins, je veux garder les bons souvenirs que nous avons créés ensemble. Notre relation m’a fait grandir à bien des égards et je reste reconnaissante.

De toute évidence, Dresscape ne sera plus un compte de couple, mais uniquement le mien (Claire). J'espère que vous resterez quand même à mes côtés 🤍
