Welcome back everyone!
Today I’m going to be giving you a fairly simple list-formatted type of post, chock-full of different ways you can pamper yourself before the school craziness begins. I’m not going to justify each idea since most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but I will explain how to do something when necessary. I know we all want to take advantage of the last bits of me-time of the summer, so treat yourself and do a few of these things before life gets too busy again!
- Use a face mask (Peel-off, mud mask, sheet mask, all are great!)
- Take a bath and use a bath bomb
- Do a full spa-night (you can do both of the things above plus other at-home treatments you can find on Pinterest or elsewhere)
- Use a meditation app such as Headspace or Calm
- Take a long walk or hike through a pretty trail, park, or neighborhood
- Get yourself your favorite food or treat (mine is an acai bowl)
- Do stretches or yoga poses at-home – look up some on YouTube or Instagram if you don’t know any
- Sit outside and listen to relaxing music/your favorite music
- Watch your favorite movie
- Do a short social media cleanse (as short or long as you want)
- Light a bunch of candles
- Have a day of fun- whatever that looks like for you, go wherever you want and eat whatever you want, stay home and relax if you want
- Go to the beach and watch the sunset or sunrise
I hope this gave you some inspiration on how to utilize the rest of your fleeting summertime and make sure you are ready for the school year. I’m sure you’ve all had a mix of relaxation and productivity in your summer thus far, so now’s the time to really enjoy the rest and relax during the calm before the storm. Let me know if there’s anything you think should be added to this list or if you have any requests for new posts! I know this was a short one, but I’ll be posting lots of new content soon.
