Britney Spears advocated for "self-care" in a new social media post.
The 39-year-old singer uploaded an image on her Instagram account Monday which stated, "Sometimes self-care is the simple act of doing nothing." She captioned the pic with three sandwich emojis.
The post could be a reference to the photo she uploaded on Friday. In that message to fans, Spears discussed her weight over the years.
The "Toxic" singer shared close-up photos of her face, showcasing her slimmed-down look.
