Did you know you can organise your self-care?
Now and again, you need to put yourself first, even if just for a day.
Here are 13 self-care ideas:
- Have a nice bubble bath.
- Give yourself a manicure or pedicure.
- Get your hair done.
- Relax with a favourite book and a cup of tea or coffee. This is my favourite form of self-care
- Get takeaways.
- Buy some flowers - hey, sometimes, we’ve got to do it for ourselves!
- Watch a chick flick
- Take a 30-minute nap
- Start simplifying your life
- Bake a cake, some muffins, etc.
- Organise your clothes!
- Burn a fragrant candle and just relax
- Write in your journal for 30 minutes
Get out your planner and book a date with yourself at least once a month, preferably once a week or even once a day.
If you don’t schedule it, it won’t get done!
How often do you have self-care time?

I so agree with you on self care. I make time everyday to "escape" to my sewing room even for 15 minutes. Door shut...mom is in time out!
These all sound wonderful.
Ok, is takeaways the same as take out over here?? :) As in, order food and bring it back home?? I just love your phrases!!!
I think blogging is my self-care time, but I do have a devotion time (almost) every day. It is so critical to our sanity to get away for a few minutes!!
Oh, Jenny, I LOVE your comments. You ALWAYS make me laugh!
Yes, takeaways and take out is the same thing :-)
I must start a South African category and tell you more about SA!!
I try to get the sitter (or my husband, when he's home) once a week to go do something for myself. I do alot of your ideas. My very favorite thing to do is to go sit in a quiet corner of the library and blog or read all alone. : ) I also enjoy pedicures or a massage on occasion, but those can get pricey. : )
My favorite de-stresser is window- shopping... My husband and i work in the same office, and are together 24X7... so actually ANY time on my own feels great !
