If there is one issue that is a must in the news right now it’s self-care. You need to be able to look after yourself, and if you’re not looking after you, who else will? Life is not an easy thing to go through every day, and rewarding yourself with care is the most important thing that you can do. You don’t necessarily have to go and blow out your cash on shopping, but you do have to think about what will make you happy and then take the time to truly indulge in it.
Treating yourself doesn’t have to bankrupt you (though, those reasons are fun) and it doesn’t have to mean that you take out credit and get into debt. Instead, you need to identify the things that are going to make you happy and make you feel good. For example, if you’re a smoking fan, a smoking subscription box would be the best thing that you treat yourself with! You deserve to kick back and relax, so let’s take a look at eight things you can buy and do to treat yourself today.
Breakfast In Bed
You can choose to order in or make this at home, but it’s the ultimate treat! You need to remember how good room service can be when you’re in a hotel and recreate this at home. You love food, right? Well, sit up in bed and have your favorite. Whether that’s homemade maple pancakes stacked with fruit and cream, or you love avocado and poached eggs on sourdough toast. You need to really indulge in this breakfast, and you’ve got to add a fresh flower to really pretty up the tray!
Unwind With An Audiobook
Lay down on the couch, in the garden, or on your bed and pop in your headphones. You can stream out a great audiobook (and we recommend Harry Potter!) and just unwind. Close your eyes and let someone else read you a story. You’ll get your eyes off your screens and you won’t strain them trying to invest in something creative.
Plant Or Buy Flowers
Aren’t flowers pretty? You can invest in some beautiful blooms and turn your whole house into a nursery if you need to. You can plant new floral bushes in the garden, too, and have something gorgeous to look at when you are sitting outside. Not only will you keep your hands busy, but your house will also smell beautiful at the same time. Flowers offer you a wonderful distraction when you’re feeling stressed, and they can make you fill up with happiness. All you have to do is choose those that are seasonal to indulge!
Treat Your Skin
An at-home pamper session is the best way to treat yourself, isn’t it? You can find some of the most deliciously smelling moisturizers and exfoliation scrub and you can also buy some face peels to help your skin to feel more nourished. There are plenty of amazing skincare products that you can buy and leave your skin feeling soft and supple. You’ll also enjoy velvety soft skin that smells so good!
Redo Your Bedroom
You can use your time to upgrade a room in the home and it’s the ultimate treat for you to redo your bedroom. Change out the linens and buy some more fluffy pillows to recline on! Spritz the pillows and light scented candles. You can even add a speaker for your phone so you can stream meditation podcasts!
Play Hooky
Okay, well, not hooky. It’s nice to take a day off work but book it properly and take a day to do nothing at all. Slump on the couch and pretend that food has no calories in it, and you can relax, unwind, and do something that’s just for you and not for anyone else.
Spend Some Cash
Sometimes you’ve just got to spend some money and treat yourself on new shoes, or a new bag. You don’t have to bankrupt yourself here, you just need to buy something to give you that buzz that will feel good! Even if all you buy is some glittery socks, you need to spend a little money!
Indulge Your Feet
You’re on them all day long, and your feet go through a lot every day. Start with a shower and treat your toes to something fun. Exfoliate, pumice, moisturize, and finish with a pedicure. You need to put your best foot forward, and it starts with looking after your feet right now!
