Sunday Spa Days

I hearby declare that Sundays will be my spa days! If I learned anything important from my therapist (who I found through therapyQ.com), it's that self care is important. So I will take Sundays to do nice spa-like things for myself, like taking tea baths, exfoliating, taking care of my natural hair, using facial masks, and maybe going out for a mani-pedi! It's time I learned to pamper myself, especially in the wake of my recent break-up. Spa days will rejuvenate me and get me ready for the week to come.

You don't have to go to a spa to give yourself a spa day, but it's really nice every so often. There is a really nice spa near where I live called Glen Ivy Hot Springs.

I swear this place is magic! And very affordable too. I think I want to take my mom there for her birthday this year. It's been awhile since I went, but the last time I was there I left feeling like melted butter!

Yes it's definitely good to pamper yourself. So try to establish a routine for pampering yourself, even if it's just taking an epsom salt bath and listening to relaxing music, then rubbing nice smelling coconut oil all over your body...or making a simple oatmeal mask to soften and hydrate your skin, or taking time to learn how to meditate with all the free resources online (a few of which are here, here, and here).  It's easy to forget to take care of yourself in this busy world where stress abounds, but slowing down on a regular basis is definitely worth it!

Now I'm going to rinse this yogurt mask off of my face. :)
