Have you ever been having one of those days? Everything seems to be going wrong. The kids are screaming, your boss is in your ear about an overdue project, and you just burned dinner.
When these all come together, you need a day for yourself.
Fans of the hit sitcom Parks and Rec will remember the days Tom and Donna had, called “Treat Yo-Self.” This day came about once a year and was all about doing whatever you want to make yourself feel good.
Want a massage? Want to exfoliate with a sugar cube scrub? Want to sit in silence for three hours?
The idea is to do whatever makes you feel good.
Below, we have a few fun ideas you can take to treat yourself for a day. Don’t worry; you deserve it.
Have A Fabulous Cheat Day
If you’re someone who tries to hold up on a regular diet, why not give in to temptations and have your favorite foods for each meal of the day?
Wrestler, actor, and fitness guru Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has epic cheat meal days to reward himself for dedication or just when he felt like he needed some time for himself.
Stay at home and make the meals yourself or call up a friend and have them meet you at your favorite spot. You can’t go wrong. It is your cheat day!
Go to the Spa
There’s nothing quite like having people pamper you for you. Heading to a spa is not only a way to release stress, but you can receive that personal treatment you’ve been longing for.
Whatever you would love to do, make sure, and do it! You might like facials, massages, or simply sitting in a hot or cold tub to relax.
If you don’t have time to head to a spa, why not have one at home? You can buy your favorite soaps and scrubs. You can try something new like a sugar cube scrub to leave your skin feeling healthy and fresh.
Catch a Movie…or Two
While some people might frown on the idea of going to the movies alone, it can be quite a relaxing activity. What’s better than sitting in a quiet room watching a great movie?
If you’re up for the movie night, why not make it a double feature?
While it is always best to buy two tickets, it’s just worth mentioning that people have often gone to the movies at a 2-for-1 deal.
Go Shopping
Have you been thinking about making a big purchase? You know, that thing you always wanted to buy but haven’t felt like pulling the trigger yet?
Why not today?
Even though material goods might not make you happy forever, this is all about you. If it’s something you want to do, then taking this time to pamper yourself is the perfect opportunity.
Plan Out the Perfect Date Night
Sometimes, it’s best to have one of those special days with a special someone. Take your significant other and plan out the ideal date night.
Think of something you both wanted to do and make a day out of it. Maybe you can combine mini-golf with a quick visit to the pastry shop that just opened down the road. The sky’s the limit here!
