How Our Community Practices Self-Love
At Hamalie, we’re passionate about uplifting and empowering our community. So this past February, we hosted a “Self-Love Challenge” on Instagram where we asked followers to share their favourite tools for self-care – from the books that have helped shift their negative self-talk into positive thoughts to songs that give them a boost of confidence. Check out what our followers had to say below.
Movies
Sometimes all we need is to Netflix & chill. Remember, it’s okay to take some time off and indulge in the goodness of a guilty pleasure movie. Here’s what our Hamalie community is watching:
Legally Blonde
The City of God
Moulin Rouge
Knives Out
Chronicles of Narnia
Mulan
Crazy Rich Asians
Podcasts
Whether you’re on a walk or on your commute to work, podcasts are a great way to incorporate some self-care into your busy day. They offer advice, education, humour, and entertainment for all kinds of people. A few of our followers’ go-to podcasts include:

Books
Nothing says self-love like cuddling up with a good book, a cup of tea, and a candle burning. Our followers shared the books they’re reading right now:
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Girl with the Louding Voice
Steal Like an Artist
The Artist’s Way
The Universe Has Your Back
Songs
One of the best (and most fun) ways to give your self a little self-care is to blast your favourite songs and have a solo dance party in your bedroom or car. Here’s what the Hamalie community is jamming out to:
“Sare” by Ayra Starr
“Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac
“Levitating” by Dua Lipa
“All Will Be Well” by The GABE Dixon Band
