Every now and then, we all need a day off. Commitments take priority, but sometimes you need to take some time for yourself.
Steps
Step 1. Prepare a hot bath with soap bubbles and the radio on
Prepare the bath, choose a soap that makes a lot of foam, choose a radio station that offers relaxing music, light candles or incense, and relax! You will not be just washing, but taking all the tension off you. When finished, rinse off with a refreshing scented soap.
Step 2. After your bath, dry off and put on some comfortable clothes, a jumpsuit and a t-shirt, or whatever outfit is particularly comfortable for you
For example, baggy pants, or shorts.
Step 3. Tie your hair back and pull it away from your forehead with a headband
It is important that your hair does not fall over your face for the next step.
Step 4. Rinse your face and pat it dry with a towel
Step 5. Apply a face mask
If you don't have a product of this type, you can try a natural alternative: blend half a banana with 2 tablespoons of honey and leave the mixture on your face for 10-20 minutes, then rinse. While you wait for time to pass, read a magazine or watch TV.
Step 6. Rinse the visa well and pat dry
If you have acne problems, rinse off with a brand name product, for example Neutrogena. Dry your face without rubbing.
Step 7. Now it's time to think about nails
Remove the old nail polish from your fingers and toes. Trim your nails and clean them paying attention to the impurities that accumulate in the corners, then put on a nail polish, possibly a light color, and let it dry.
Step 8. Rent, or watch on TV, a good girl's movie
Put your nail polish on and eat some popcorn while watching.
Step 9. Enjoy your favorite ice cream or cookies
If you are a health-conscious and don't like sweets and fats, try vegan cuisine or dishes recommended by spas for a day; search for recipes on Google.
Step 10. After watching the movie, dedicate yourself to reading a good book
Step 11. After reading, go to sleep and give yourself a restorative rest
