Summer is on the fast track to being here. If there’s one that’s for sure, it’s that we can always use a little extra self-care. So this year, here are a few self-care things you can do, summer edition.
- Spend hours on a pool float with your hair flowing in the water.
- Popsicles. That’s it.
- Watch your favorite old summer movies like Dirty Dancing or The Sandlot in bed.
- Hand-wash your very nice, extremely overpriced swimsuit.
- Light up your favorite summer-scented candles.
- Invest in a new pair of flip flops or slides that you will be seen in all. season. long.
- Pick up a nice bouquet of seasonal flowers to put on display in your living space.
- Inform your crew you’re about to ghost them because you’re officially on vacay mode.
- And then actually go on vacay mode.
- *Gasp.* Put down the remote controller and pick up a summer novel.
- Tropical. Flavored. Lipbalm.
- Take such a long bubble bath that you have to drain and add new hot water halfway through.
- Create a summery playlist that will be the soundtrack to your workday.
- Soak up the sunshine by doing something outdoorsy, like taking a bike ride or walk.
- New sunglasses, new you.
- Make your house a little more season-appropriate with summer decor.
- Call your long-distance friend and pretend you’re together.
- Give yourself a mani/pedi with cute summery colors.
- Wake up and look out the window at the nice beautiful sunny day.
- Try out a new local wine and drink it by some body of water.
