Create an At-Home Spa and Give Yourself Some Much-Deserved R&R

Prioritizing your own health and wellness can be nothing if not overwhelming, and self-care is often packaged and sold to women as expensive investments. But in reality, self-care is simply making a conscious decision to spend time on yourself: breaking the bank is not required. There are ways to create an at-home spa — or fancy dinner or movie theater experience — that'll cost you less than $15 (or, if you're really creative, nothing). In fact, more often than not you can use common household items to create spa-like self-care moments that will rejuvenate you, revitalize you, and help you get back to neutral.

If you’re dealing with a particularly stressful situation, or you’re looking for a way to unwind from daily life on a routine basis, creating a spa day at home can be one of the easiest and most effective ways to find some peace and quiet. And whether you only only do this once a month or once a year, it’s always worth spending some extra TLC on yourself.
