Haven’t you ever wanted to treat yourself? To give into that urge for something sweet or salty, indulge in a little retail therapy, take the day off from work to sleep in. We all want to feel special and appreciated every now and then. Many people are so busy taking care of their families, friends and jobs that they never take time for themselves. But you don’t need to be a celebrity to get the royal treatment!
If this sounds like you – here are five ways to pamper yourself!
1.Get a full body massage or go to the spa
If you want even more luxury, head over to the spa for some relaxation time with friends. Spa treatments are good for your skin, make you look younger and are great for your mental well-being.
The best part about a spa day is that it’s something everyone will enjoy! It doesn’t matter if it’s the middle of winter or summer – at least one person can find some relief from their current situation by getting away for an hour or two.
2. Take a bubble bath with candles lit
Bubble baths are known to promote relaxation. Add a bath bomb, bath oils, or some rose petals to get that extra luxurious feeling. Candles are also a nice addition to the tub, as they can help set a relaxing environment and soothing ambiance. The final touch? Throw on some of your favorite tunes and dial down the stress levels – it’s time to unwind.
3. Treat yourself to something sweet
Some people crave chocolate when they are feeling down or need a pick me up. Others prefer fruit loops cereal while some go for ice cream sundaes topped with whipped cream and cherries on top.
Comfort foods can be a comfort to your body, mind and soul. Having something sweet can put you in a better mood, but it can also improve your mental health. Sweet foods are known to stimulate the brain to release serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps control appetite and mood. It also regulates sleep patterns, memory functions and learning abilities. So next time you feel down or in need of some pampering, go treat yourself with something sweet!
