Taking the time to show yourself some physical self-care can really reset you and help you de-stress. Not all of us have the time or money to book a fancy spa appointment every week (wouldn’t that be nice though!) However there are ways to pamper yourself from home that can really lift your mood when you need it!

  • Use a face mask/ give yourself a facial
  • Have a bubble bath or use a bath bomb
  • Light a candle in the bathroom (put it somewhere safe and make sure it doesn’t drip on anything!)
  • Use some hand cream and give yourself a hand massage
  • Moisturise
  • Paint your nails
  • Put a drop of lavender oil on your pillow to help you sleep
  • Wear an eye mask
  • Listen to soothing, relaxing music when you’re in the bath.

 

Whatever works for you- just use that time to take care of yourself! You deserve it!
