Hey Queens, I know that it can be really difficult to carve out some “me time” when you’ve got a busy schedule. But it absolutely must be done, because if you’re working 24/7, you may eventually burn out. Here are some self-care activities you should try:

Spa day 
If you don’t know if there is an affordable spa within your vicinity, Google is your friend! Find out how much it costs and book an appointment. You can also find budget-friendly on DealDey.

Spoil yourself baby girl. you deserve it!

You can binge-watch your favorite TV series and spend the whole day in bed enjoying yourself or visit a nearby cinema and watch the latest movies – whichever works best for you. And no, there’s nothing weird about watching a movie all by yourself. Remember, it’s all about you! Not about what anyone else thinks.

Sometimes, a nap is all the self care you need. A short, sweet nap can work wonders and give you a quick boost of energy and a refreshed mind.

I’m yet to meet a woman who doesn’t love new things. Ain’t nothing wrong with a little retail therapy. Just makes sure you set a budget for your shopping trip first, before you head out, so you don’t go overboard!

Visit a new restaurant 
What is life without food? Try a new restaurant in your spare time. And if people give you weird looks because you are dining alone, just stare right back at them as you chew your tasty, delicious meal. It’s all about you girl, never mind what people think. Related image

Weekend getaway
You can pamper yourself by taking a trip to the next city, or by book a room at a nearby hotel and having a mini “stayation.” Enjoy peaceful serenity away from home and work.
