How To Have Your Own Spa Night
maxipexel

It's been a hard week and you deserve to relax and recharge your battery! Sometimes you don't want to go out with friends and party the night away. Sometimes all you really want is a quiet night, by yourself, to enjoy being alone and have a soothing spa night.

Set the date!

It's hard to do when you have roommates, especially if you share a bathroom. When dealing with roommates just talk things out. Try to plan out your night if your roommate(s) are going to be out and about! Or just talk to them about how you need some time to relax and ask them to just let you have the bathroom, no interruptions, for your personal spa night.

If you don't have roommates then just set aside some time that you'll turn off your phone and close yourself off from the rest of the world.

Buy what you need.

A spa night doesn't have to break the bank. I have spa nights once every couple weeks and it's never a pain in my pocket. You could buy things like bath bombs, face masks, and moisturizing lotion. For instance, instead of bath bombs I buy Epsom Salt with chamomile from CVS that is cheap and does the trick to relax my muscles! Also, I buy cheaper face masks (I like charcoal masks of green tea) they usually sell these for under $3 at stores like Wal-Mart or Target.

Set the mood.

Personally, I like to either listen to music or watch Netflix in my bathroom while I'm in the tub. I also pin my shower curtain away from my tub and light tea lights (also available super cheap at Wal-Mart) to set the mood. Make sure you keep all electronics a good amount away from any splash zones.

Sometimes, if I'm feeling extra, I like to bring in snacks like Twizzlers or drink wine.

Map out what you want to do.

Going from thing to thing happily is almost like meditation and really makes you feel like a person again! I usually get into the tub and exfoliate and when I get out I put on the face mask while I dry off and apply lotion. Once I wash the mask off I do and/or paint my nails. Once everything is over I feel clean, refreshed, and totally relaxed! I really feel like a brand new person and somehow all my negative feelings went down the drain with my bath water.

I always save things on my Netflix/Hulu queue so that I can watch things I've wanted to or catch up on shows I'm behind on!

I hope this was helpful in getting a step closer. It's always important to choose your health over anything else! If you get sick or don't take care of yourself you and your work will suffer. Give yourself some major TLC!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
