4 Ways You Can Treat Yourself This Week
After staying indoors for almost two years, you have to admit that you haven’t done much pampering — other than maybe using peel-off face masks in your bathroom or listening to meditation apps to drown out the stresses of the world. But now that things are opening up again, and you’re feeling better about getting out of the house, how can you pamper yourself?
1. Get that haircut
When was the last time you got a haircut? Or, to rephrase, when was the last time that you got a professional haircut? You might’ve attempted a DIY pandemic haircut after realizing that you couldn’t book an appointment during lockdown. But now, you don’t have to live with those amateur results. You can finally book a spot at your favourite salon and get your hair done by one of the experts. The new sleek look will make you forget that you tried and failed to give yourself bangs a few months ago.
2. Get a massage
When you’re stressed, your muscles tense. Think of how much stress your muscles have absorbed since the first lockdown started. You need to get rid of some of that tension.
The best way to do that is to book a therapeutic massage. A professional masseuse will help work out that muscle rigidity and relieve some of that internalized stress.
Massages are also great solutions for people who are feeling skin hungry or touch starved after going through the lockdowns with little to no contact. It’s a safe and easy way to get some much-needed physical attention.
3. Go to the spa
Your muscles aren’t the only parts of you that have absorbed stress. Your skin has absorbed it, too. You might have noticed that your skin isn’t looking as healthy and clear as it did before the lockdowns started.
That’s why you should go to a spa. It’s the perfect way to pamper yourself and get your skin looking incredible again. You can book an appointment at this medi spa in Toronto to get rejuvenating skincare treatments like Hydrafacials, microneedling and microlaser peels. This medi spa is known for providing some of the best skin care in Toronto. A single appointment could make you feel completely refreshed.
4. Take yourself out on a picnic
You’ve been stuck inside of the house for too long. So, go out and enjoy the sunshine before the winter chill hits. Take yourself out on a picnic at one of the city’s gorgeous parks and just unwind.
What should you bring for the occasion?
- A warm blanket to lie on.
- A good book to delve into.
- A fully charged smartphone and headphones so you can listen to audiobooks, podcasts or music.
- Baked goods from one of the top new bakeries in the city to snack on. A picnic isn’t a picnic without any good food.
- A thermos full of your favourite drink, whether it’s iced coffee, piping hot green tea or sparkling lemonade. Bring what makes you happy.
And if you really want company, ask a friend to join you. You can chat with each other, or you can take the opportunity to lay back and relax together.
Take some time this week to treat yourself. You deserve it.
