So you're off work and it's gloomy and raining outside. First, let's start with a collective boooooo. Now that we've gotten past that, rather than spend the whole day catching up on sleep, why not be proactive? I made a list of some things to do while stuck inside.
1. PAMPER YOURSELF.
Listen, rainy days in are my favorites for this reason. Any excuse to pamper myself a little extra is always welcome. I generally do all these, but here's a few ideas to getcha started:
give yourself a manicure
face mask
leave-in hair mask
herbal bath -- (you can't go wrong with jasmine, eucalyptus, rosemary, or lavendar)
2. NETFLIX (& CHILL?).
Why not switch it up from your norm. Usually into rom-coms? Let's try an action movie, or maybe sci-fi! Go pop some popcorn, get cozy under a nice blanket, and check out this list for some great suggestions. Then get watching!
3. START THAT PROJECT.
Do you have a project you've been putting off with the excuse that you just don't have time?? Wellll... now you do. My project today was to start crocheting a little winter headband! It's so close to Christmas you can even use the time to make some Christmas cards or mini-gifts if you're feeling fancy.
4. BAKE.
Make some cookies! A pie! Maybe some spiced pears! If you've got the ingredients, today is definitely the day to try out a new recipe you're interested in.
5. CLEAN.
I know, I know, this sounds like the least amount of fun. But being stuck inside a cluttered house all day would give me anxiety. Normally when it's nice out we can avoid the mess by just leaving the house and pulling the outta-sight-outta-mind card, but not when we're forced to share the same space all day. Take on your cleaning in 10 minute increments (I mean it, set an stop watch!) or by item increments (10 minutes so quickly turns into 15 or more) and you'll have everything done before you know it!
Either way, enjoy your day off! ♥
