When life throws you lemons, it’s time to squeeze some time in for more self-care. Whether you are stressed from work or just need in a physical reboot, you owe it to yourself to sit down, get still, and blow off some steam in the most delightful way possible. Yes, an elaborate day at the spa sounds like a no-brainer cure-all fix, but that also can cost a pretty penny.

On the bright side, there are more ways than one to treat yourself all in the comfort of your own home. The best day of the week? Probably, Sunday. From feel-good beauty rituals to any overdue upkeep, ahead, we’ve listed seven solutions to help you throughly enjoy #SelfCareSunday.

Raise your hand if by Thursday, your hair is filled with 90 percent dry shampoo? If this is you, don’t take that extra little bit of time you have on Sunday to snooze the entire day away. Whip out your favorite shampoo and try a deep treatment masque, such as Kérastase Aura Botanica Soin Fondamental deep conditioner. It’s loaded with coconut and argan oils to keep hair moisturized.

2. Light some candles

While your candles sit and look pretty during the work week. They probably are also collecting a lot of dust because you aren’t giving them a chance to be great. It’s time to light up your favorite home scents. Try Diptyque Baies’ large candle to entice your senses with alluring smells of black currant and Bulgarian roses.

3. Make your own spa water

Why does the water at the spa seem so much more refreshing than your own bottled water? That’s easy delicious fruits and vegetables are usually added to enhance the taste. Pour a nice cold glass of water, and don’t forget to add in a few slices of fresh lemon or cucumber.

4. Exfoliate from head to toe

Our grooming routines become a little lackluster when we are running out of the door to make it to wherever we are scheduled to be. But that doesn’t mean you should skimp out on exfoliating. If you really want soft, smooth skin, take a few extra moments to gently scrub on an exfoliator like Frank Body’s Creamy Face Scrub. It’s a cult favorite, and leaves your skin supple and stunning.

5. Try at-home yoga

It’s no secret that yoga can help you stretch the kinks out of your body, and help to relieve tension. However, the thought of leaving your house on Sunday can sometimes feel extra. Pull out your fitness mat, throw on a pair of leggings, and attempt to get your namaste on in your living room.

6. Mask away
