I suggest taking these ideas and compiling your own list of things you can do to take care of yourself!
brush your teeth, floss, and use mouthwash
cleanse and tone your face
light candles and put on music if you want
rinse off the face mask and get in the shower/bath
use a bath bomb/bubble bar/other lush products if you have them on hand
read in the bath if you’re not afraid to drop your book–personally I like to put my laptop on the bathroom counter and watch something on netflix
shampoo your hair and use a conditioning hair mask
use an exfoliating bar or scrub on your body and shave if that’s your thing
when you get out of the shower/bath and dry off
spray leave-in conditioner into your hair, comb through it, and let it air dry
moisturize your whole body with a luxurious/heavy moisturizer
moisturize your face and put on chapstick
if you pluck your eyebrows, take time to do it now (the heat of the shower will open your pores)
put on your favourite comfy pajamas/sweatpants and hoodie/tshirt/whatever
trim your nails, file them and/or paint them if you like to do that
get comfortable in your bed or on the couch, with a book or a movie or tv
make yourself a hot tea or hot chocolate (or coffee if it isn’t too late)
have a healthy snack like a fruit
have a movie marathon and make popcorn
buy something for yourself
take a day off from homework/work
cook something new and fresh, or cook your favourite food
go out to eat with your friends/family/partner
buy a present for a loved one
spend time getting inspired on pinterest/tumblr
watch a seasonal movie and eat a seasonal snack (around halloween and christmastime for example)
clean/organize your room or rearrange the furniture, if you like doing that
personally, i love reorganizing my bookshelf!
take some time to do one of your hobbies such as art, writing, sports, photoshop, etc
try and learn a new hobby
do a craft or diy project from pinterest
plan in your planner/bullet journal or take some time to get organized
go out to the movies and get snacks from the concession stand
go out to a cute cafe or dessert restaurant
indulge in some nice cheese, crackers, and grapes
meditate/practice mindfulness
get your nails or hair done
have a date night with your s/o
or have a night out with your friends
play with/spend time with your pets
write down some positive things or favourite memories
take a break from social media
if your diet is lacking, detox and eat only fresh and healthy food for a day
alternatively, if you’re usually healthy, treat yourself to some junk food
do your hair and makeup and put on your favourite outfit
put on some sexy underwear/lingerie and perfume
watch something that makes you laugh (funny movies/tv, vine compliations, youtube videos, or just go through a funny blog on tumblr)
if you’re into it, do a tarot reading
go to a museum or an art gallery
look at old photos and photo albums
go for a walk and take photos
watch an informative ted talk or documentary
play video games/computer games
exercise, if you enjoy it
plan (or simply dream about) your next travel destination
go through memorabilia and childhood souvenirs
