Your apartment is more than a place to live; it has the potential to be your sanctuary. Life in Irvine can be stressful, so living in a personalized haven where you can relax, unwind, and take care of yourself can make a huge difference in your well-being. Knowing that you’re in the comfort and privacy of your own home, you can even take it a step further and have a self-care night-in.
Add a fun twist to your next night in and elevate your regular self-care routine with these rental-safe spa-inspired ideas you can use in your apartment.
Trust in the power of scents to relax and uplift your mood. Many essential oils target to calm your mind and body, such as lavender, chamomile, or sandalwood–which has been proven to be great for relieving anxiety and stress. Get a diffuser, and feel your worries melt away the moment your apartment fills with the delicious aroma of your chosen oil.
Thank your skin for everything it does for you, and treat yourself by adding a skincare step to your self-care night. You don’t have to go overboard; a face mask and body exfoliation, followed by a moisturizer, will do wonders to keep your skin hydrated. Just remember to apply SPF in the morning. You can be your own best spa attendant while you enjoy your favorite take-out and a comfort movie. You’ll add a healthy glow to your skin while having the best time.
Make going to bed a routine. Savoring the process allows you to slowly unwind and mentalize for whats to come, resulting in deeper and better rest. A self-care idea to upgrade this part of your routine is to infuse some relaxing scents in your bathroom with a steam diffuser. Take your shower but try to luxuriate in the routine. Play a guided meditation or your favorite relaxing music.
When you get out, put on your coziest robe, and read some pages of your favorite book. This is your “me” time. Go to bed at a reasonable time after this process, and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of your week. This is a great recipe to guide your body and mind into a deep rest.
Enjoying self-care in your apartment goes a long way, from improving your mood to learning to prioritize your well-being. Turn your Irvine apartment into your favorite place, and see the magic happen when you put our easy yet effective self-care ideas into practice.
