It's National Spa Week this week. This is usually a time for those in the spa and beauty industries to run special offers and encourage people to visit their facilities. However, of course, this year is a little different as spas and other non-essential businesses have been forced to close for the time being.
2020 has been a stressful year for most of us in a number of different ways. It's therefore more important than ever that we all take some time to do the things that help us to relax and unwind.
For some, this may be doing spa-like treatments at home such as:
- Getting a massage from a loved one or electric massager
- Putting on a face mask - the cucumber kind, not the Covid kind!
- Doing your nails
- Taking a relaxing bath
But others (like me!) aren't necessarily too keen on these kinds of activities. I do use my housemate's electric back massager on occasion, but pampering isn't really my thing. I tend to find other activities more relaxing, such as:
- Having a hot shower
- Watching TV in my pyjamas
- Doing sudoku
- Listening to music
I also find that exercising and cleaning both make me feel a lot more relaxed, even though I don't always enjoy doing them at the time
Will you be going to the spa when they reopen? What do you do to relax? Do you have any top tips for things we can all do at home to unwind?
