I recently had a me day, my husband took the girls early morning and they were gone for most of the day. If you had a whole day/house to yourself what you do? I haven’t had this kind of day in a very long time. Me alone at home. If I take time to myself it’s usually because I left to go on a mini trip. This was different, the house was peaceful, and I had the whole day to choose what I wanted to do. Here’s what I did.
Movie and Coffee:
Once they left, I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat in the couch. The Christmas movies were still on Netflix so of course I picked a cheesy Christmas movie. I chose to watch Merry Gentlemen. What a fun movie to watch. Not too inappropriate but I enjoyed it very much. It wasn’t too long either. That with my hot cup of coffee was the best little combo.
Get Ready:
After the movie, I took my time to get ready. I usually have to rush through my “get ready” routine or skip out on it all together, but I didn’t on my Me Day. My makeup was on point! I even did an extra whitening on my teeth! I never have time to do that!
Salt Cave:
I went to a salt cave. I have seen it advertised many times and have always wanted to try it, but I would either forget about it or just couldn’t find the time to do it. The night before my Me Day, I saw it advertised and I was like, why not. Let’s try it.
It was amazing. I laid in a cozy lounge chair with a blanket surrounded by Himalayan salt, with dimmed lights, twinkling stars, and soft music. It was me and 7 other people. I didn’t fall asleep, but I did feel so incredibly relaxed. I will definitely do it again but I think after I’m going to do a foot bath with tea after for the full experience.
Hair Cut:
Right after the Salt Cave, I got my hair cut. It has been a while since I cut my hair, so I was in desperate need for a good cut. Plus I wanted long side swoop bangs. I got a deep conditioning too, stocked up on my favorite products and left feeling so refreshed.
Home:
I then went home and relaxed some more. My husband and girls were not home yet but they were on their way and I knew I wanted to be home by the time they got there. I started a new movie and waited for my family to get home. So peaceful.
After Bedtime Routine:
After my husband and I put our girls to bed, I decided to treat myself to dinner. There was no way I was gonna cook. So of course, I ordered chipotle. After I picked up Chipotle, I popped over to Starbucks to treat myself to a decaf holiday drink. To my surprise, the car in front of me paid for my drink. It was the cherry on top of my very wonderful day. I did pay for the car behind me too which felt good to pay it forward.
What I loved about this day is I chose to relax. I did not clean up or do any chores. I focused on me and relaxation. It was amazing. I cannot wait to do it again. Have you ever taken a Me Day? What did you choose to do with your day? Let me know, I’d love to chat about it!
Thank you so much for reading!
