5 Ways to Give Yourself the Love You Deserve During Social Distancing

For some people, this global pandemic has triggered their insomnia. Lack of sleep and an altered routine can affect your skin. You might be noticing it's starting to look a little dry, or it can be breaking out. Treating yourself to a nice face mask, whether it's a sheet mask or one you make with the ingredients you find in your pantry and fridge, can give you a relaxing moment and leave your skin looking healthy and radiant.

What's your favourite dish? Do you usually make it yourself or do you get it delivered? This is the perfect time to indulge your taste buds into the ride of their life. Once the food is ready, make sure you set the table, light some candles, and pour yourself some wine, because you're going on the best date you've ever had with yourself.

Add bubbles, bath salts, even some essential oils — 6 to 8 drops should do the trick — and soak in. Breathe in, and breathe out, letting all the uncertainties go. If you're feeling a little extra, get some candles, play your favourite songs, dim the lights, and enjoy the fact that you can take that moment for yourself because you're worth it.

Nothing like immersing yourself in a compelling story, one that takes you away from the current world for a little while and makes you feel happy and inspired. Whether you go back to your all-time favourite, or try your luck with a recommendation, you'll feel mentally stimulated and your stress will significantly reduce.
