Welcome to Part 3 of 5 in the Merry, Bright & Barefoot: Christmas in July Self-Care Series. Let's talk about social self-care that’s simple and sweet.

If you’ve ever felt too busy to connect but your heart longs for deep friendship, this one’s for you. Toss out the pressure of perfectly planned get-togethers and lean into true connection. The kind that starts with a text, a giggle, and trusts that God is doing something beautiful behind the scenes.

You’ll walk away with a gentle 5-step social self-care tutorial that fits your real life (not your Pinterest board), plus a creamsicle recipe that tastes like summertime joy.

Make friendship feel light again. Make space for sweetness. Rest while God grows the seeds you plant. Hit play, and get started.
