Thanks Andrea! It's definitely important to take time for yourself once in a while.
DeleteThanks for sharing these! Self care is so important! I do a couple of these already but I'm definitely taking a lot of new ideas away from this post! :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad it gave you some new ideas!
DeleteLove this list! Will have to keep it aside for inspo for those Sundays I don't know what to do with myself lol

Good idea!
DeleteThere’s nothing better than a chilled out self care Sunday! I love this list and particularly find myself decluttering and painting my nails on a down day! Netflix and chocolate is always good too!- https://sophiehearts.net x
ReplyDeleteDecluttering is my favourite - it makes me feel so good!
DeleteLove how you gave a lot of neat suggestions for a self-care day! I love doing a lot of these and they put me on such a great mood! Hope many will feel the same! Thanks for sharing :).

Thanks Nancy!
DeleteThis is a great list Nic. I wish I had read it earlier in my Sunday! My self care routine is lacking but often includes walks and curling up in my bed with a good book.
ReplyDeleteI love long walks and good books - they're two of my favourite things.
DeleteIt’s so important to feel good about yourself and just clear your mind sometimes. I love writing and blogging for this (although that too can get hectic) but I also love art. Calligraphy and drawing is my go-to when I just want some relaxation.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be able to draw. For me it wouldn't be relaxing; it'd be stressful because I'd get upset with how bad I am at it!
DeleteThere are definitely parts of these I take part in, such as watching a show or going on a walk.
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
DeleteThis is such a lovely post Nic! 💖 Self care Sunday is such a great idea. As I read your post, I was agreeing with everything on your list! Fab post, thanks for sharing your suggestions 😘 xx

Thanks Bexa, glad you liked it!
DeleteLove this list! I always designate either Saturday or Sunday as a self-care day and have a lovely bath, get lost in a book and enjoy a few episodes of something on telly. x www.aimeeraindropwrites.co.uk x
ReplyDeleteThose are great things to do. I find sundays so relaxing.
DeleteLove this !! I'm a biggie on self and self care 💜
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess. I am too - self care is so important.
DeleteOooh I might do some of these tomorrow/tonight now that I've been reminded ahaha! I usually focus a lot on my skincare when having self-care days, I love it :)
ReplyDeleteA skincare routine is definitely important. I love doing face masks.
DeleteI usually get myself a nice drink, a facemask, cuddle up in a blanket and binge watch a series~
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas!
DeleteThis is such a great list. I love being able to just watch a series on Netflix, surrounded by my favourite food.
ReplyDeleteSounds so nice. A great series and great food - the best things in life!
DeleteSundays are made to relax eh? Love it. These are great ideas. I will bingewatch netflix and cook myself a yummie meal for tonight. Nothing more i could wish for
ReplyDeleteThey are! Yes, definitely do those things tonight. Sounds perfect!
DeleteI love going for walks. Also a good book, a face mask and some candles is never a bad idea :). You have a great list of ideas here!
ReplyDeleteWalks are the best. They really clear my head and make me feel better. And yes, some candles, a face pack and a good book are the perfect combination!
DeleteThese are all great self care ideas. I always enjoy seeing what each person considers self care. I definitely enjoy going for walks, they help clear my head while providing fresh air and exercise.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing what other people consider self care, too. There are so many different interpretations and what works for one person might not work for someone else.
