Everyone deserves a bit of “me time”. It’s a time to take to yourself and listen to what your mind, body, and soul are trying to tell you. It could be trying to tell you, “Hey girl, let’s stay in today” or even “I need a break from this house, get me out!”, needless to say, it’s a time everyone certainly needs.
I’ve found my best ideas come to me when I’m alone going for a walk in the park or while I’m whipping up a complicated dessert. It’s a time of calmness to your everyday storms. It’s important to take advantage of these key moments.
Don’t know where to start? Try out these 5 affordable ways to incorporate a bit of self-care into your life:

Next, whip up an easy facial mask of turmeric powder, lemon juice, and honey. This mask will give you that spa day glow while also lightening your dark circles and spots. Wash your hair while you’re at it, just do what makes you feel super clean and super good. It’s your day.

Movies aren’t just for date nights and group outings. If you enjoy going to the movies, go! A few may be reluctant, but I’ve got a tip.
If you go to a morning matinee before 12 pm, it’s half the price and you more than likely will be there with other single movie-goers or none at all! Plenty of times I’ve had an entire movie theater to myself. No interruptions, cell lights, or unsolicited commentaries!
