- Take time and do a face mask. The cold weather can dry out your skin. I recommend Garnier Hydro sheet mask for sensitive skin – it’s so gentle and easy to use without any mess. Or you could make your own mask with egg yolks.
- Have a social media-free day (I will be switched off tomorrow)
- It sounds childish but, colouring is really relaxing. I prefer embroidery myself.
- Do some yoga
- Prep healthy meals for the week
- Have a nice bubble bath with a luxury bath bomb or, you could make your own. Paint your nails, shave your legs and put on a hair mask.
- Have a relaxing playlist – Apple has a good chill out ones.
- Journal your feelings – go analogue and set up a bullet journal.
- Turn off your phone.
- Clean your room; a clean room will help you destress. Light some scented candles or buy a humidifier and use lavender essential oils. Also, have a declutter; bin any junk and you’ll get a boost when you give away to charity.
- Curl up with a cuppa and a book. They say half an hour of reading before bed reduces stress by two thirds according to Cosmopolitan Magazine.
