Do you take care of yourself? Do you buy little gifts or treats just for you from time to time? If you set aside time and some extra funds only for you, give yourself a congratulatory pat on the back. If not, you are long past due in the self-care arena. Luckily, there are some wonderful ways you can do just for your enjoyment.

Jewellery

A little sparkle and shine from your body jewellery can add so much style and edge to your appearance. You deserve to be happy with what you see in the mirror. With labret studs [check out these], you get to change up the way you present yourself to the world. Choose from a variety of sizes and lengths for comfort and fit. You will find exactly what you want. Treat yourself to a new pair of studs to get the look you are going for.

Clothing

Sustainability and environmentalism are key buzzwords in the clothing world. On top of being a good steward to the world, you can also find some amazing vintage threads to add to your wardrobe. Second-hand stores, thrift shops, and online marketplaces like Depop offer nearly endless supplies of unique clothing. In the unlikely event that you cannot find anything there, look in your parents’ closet for inspiration and (almost) vintage finds. After all, what was old is new again. Pick out some new-to-you clothing for a special occasion or just because.

Read

Now more than ever before, you probably need a way to get out of your head and escape in some capacity. Reading is an excellent way to do this. Start by selecting a book from your favourite genre or try something new. Crime novels offer a way to work your brain to solve the twists and turns that reveal themselves at every turn of the page. Self-help books can offer differing perspectives into why you do the things you do or ways to help you make positive life changes. That stack of magazines that have piled up qualifies as reading, too. Catch up on the latest home trends or celebrity gossip. Find something to read that will give you respite and enjoyment.

Spa Day

Are you feeling a little stressed from all of the chaos over the past 18 months? If so, book yourself a relaxing and much-needed day at a local spa. You can schedule a relaxing massage for an hour or go all out and get pampered for an entire day. Opt for a full body massage to begin. Next, select a cleansing facial that is tailored specifically to your unique skincare needs. Finish the day with a well-deserved manicure and pedicure. Treat yourself to a fun polish colour or unique design. If you cannot get to the spa, try a DIY day of relaxation in the comfort of your home.

Make yourself a priority in this hectic world. Gift yourself items such as a classic stud for your favourite piercing, clothing, accessories, and relaxation. You work hard and deserve something special.
