While winter makes its extremely slow transition to spring, you might notice your case of the winter blues is still going strong. But, fear not! I'm here to help you kick it to the curb with some sweet (and helpful) hacks.
Pampering yourself with face masks and manicures provides instant relaxation. Plus, it'll give you a couple of minutes to spend all on yourself.
1. Apply a face mask made of Aztec healing clay that'll help suck grime and oil out of your pores. It'll leave your skin radiant thanks to the natural calcium bentonite clay. Reviewers say it's even helped them get rid of pesky mask acne.
2. After the clay mask, treat your skin to a layer of Neutrogena gel cream to bless it with some much-needed moisture. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid so it'll leave your skin feeling healthy and dewy.
3. Pop on a set of glossy press-on nails that'll give you a full salon-quality manicure in minutes. They'll be perfect for a pick-me-up or those times when you have an event and no time to hit the nail salon. Reviewers love that they're peel-and-stick so there's no need to wait for glue to dry.
Sometimes a bit of cleaning, decluttering, and redecorating your space can make you feel a little lighter and brighter.
4. Use a pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to effortlessly remove any grime that's been collecting on your surfaces and walls (let's face it, you haven't done a deep clean since fall).
5. Order yourself a set of drawer organizers and get a head start on spring cleaning, beginning with your wardrobe.
6. Spend an afternoon installing a roll of botanical peel-and-stick wallpaper. It'll scratch your re-decorating itch by totally transforming your space without the pain of painting. Create a fun accent wall or use it to ~zhuzh~ up an old piece of furniture.
8. Turning on a lil' essential oil diffuser will add some much needed moisture back into the air. You can even put a few drops of your favourite essential oil into the water chamber to fill your space with a refreshing and relaxing scent.
9. Light up your life with an LED smart tower lamp. You can pair it with the free companion app and create colourful custom displays. If you choose warmer hues, you'll be able to enjoy the sunset even while it's snowing or raining outside.
Whether you want to break a sweat or take on a new DIY project, getting busy with an activity or new hobby can lift your mood.
10. Keep your hands busy with an embroidery kit and stitch yourself some new botanical artwork for your home. Once you get the hang of it, you can add custom designs to your clothes, pillowcases, and pretty much anything else made of fabric.
11. Adding set of resistance bands to your go-to home workout will switch up the routine you've been sweating to all winter long. Since they lay flat they're super easy to store away when you're not using them.
12. Cook a new recipe in an internet-famous Always Pan that'll warm you from the inside out. The pan can replace eight pieces of cookware in your kitchen and it's non-stick aluminum coating evenly distributes heat while you're cooking.
13. Take a break from screens with a forest-themed adult colouring book. You can even tear out the pages if you want to hang them as art once you're done filling them in.
A relaxing night routine will help you fully unwind and forget about whatever havoc Mother Nature is causing outside.
14. Apply a Clean & Clear jelly eye mask that'll refresh tired eyes and treat you to a quick facial before your nightly slumber. The mask is infused with hyaluronic acid and seaweed extract that'll soothe and hydrate your skin. After 15 minutes, remove the mask and rub in the leftover serum— no need to wash it off.
15. Hype yourself up with a deck of non-cheesy affirmation cards that aren't full of clichés. Reviewers say the cards are super uplifting, insightful, and really funny at the same time.
16. Steep up the perfect tea latte with tea sachets from DavidsTea that'll warm you up until the actual weather does. It'll make for a creamy and smooth warm bevvie that's a tasty alternative to coffee.
17. And finally, curl up with a gratitude journal at the end of the night. Spend a few minutes to answer prompts that'll keep you humble and grateful throughout the years. Your answers will be between you and the book, so don't be afraid to be totally honest.
