Do you ever find yourself wondering what day of the week it is every now and again? Staying at home means that all days end up blending into one another.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some relaxing activities that will help you have a stress-free weekend.

There’s nothing as rejuvenating as a trip to the spa. But it goes without saying that taking a trip to these typically luxurious locations can cost a fortune. Thankfully, you don’t have to wait for months on end for a spa treatment. From drawing a nice warm bath to giving your skin some TLC, your weekends can be devoted to a serene spa day at home. On that note, it’s essential to

invest in the right products to properly pamper yourself at home. For instance, this feature about facial massagers on Harper’s Bazaar recommends Odacité’s Crystal Contour Gua Sha, thanks to its skin-cleansing properties. Similarly, other essentials like bath oils, scented candles, and of course, a soft silk robe can make all the difference for your spa days at home.

Fix Yourself a Nice Meal and Have Some Drinks

Whether it’s exchanging recipes online or posting a cooking demo, home cooks everywhere are getting their time in the spotlight. This goes to show that a lazy weekend is the perfect opportunity to raid your pantry and fix yourself up a comforting bowl of pasta, or maybe be a bit braver and finally attempt a recipe from one of the many cookbooks you have. For those miss weekend nights out, have a drinking session over Zoom with your friends. If you are planning a night of drinks and don’t want a huge hangover, take a cue from PrettyMe’s WrecOver review and make sure you consume vitamin C, as it helps cleanse toxins found in alcohol.

Delight in a Film or Series

This is why it’s best to watch them during the day, so you can enough rest to recharge for the coming week. If this is something you’re not used to, you can invite your friends to join in the fun through the extension Netflix party, which allows you all to watch and chat together when
