Harro Wuvlies!
It doesn't matter if you're 15 or 30, every girl needs time off from her hectic work/college/school schedule, her relationships and personal commitments to spend some me time, or as we call it - "Self Love" time.
After some intense pinning sessions on Pinterest (yes, intense), I've come up with the top 6 things you should be doing when you're sick of the people you're dealing with and just want to get into "Il dolce far niente" mode.
1. Cut off communication.
I'm not asking you to deactivate your instagram account,But for the length of your SL time, switch off your phone. You don't need to keep people updated with what you're up to on whatsapp or have directionless conversations with annoying people on Facebook when you're not in the mood to talk.
Disconnect with the world and reconnect with your self :)
Instead, start using pinterest ,polyvore ,
goodreads or instagram to inspire yourself, find some good book reviews, or just have that little moment of elation when people like and comment on your post!
2. Find your source of entertainment.
A good movie, book or TV show which can make you forget all of your problems is just what you need, once in a while.
Take your laptop in, during your bubble bath and watch gossip girl or game of thrones or whatever it is that makes you go "OMG asdfghjkl this show is amaze balls!" or watch some super amazing youtubers like Tyler Oakley do their thing.
Adventure Time is always a good option,regardless of your age.
Snuggle up with super cute woollen socks, hot cocoa and read yourself a really good book, try breaking the scene by reading something that none of your friends have, a not-so-famous-but-it-totally-should-be kinda book.
You can also go alone to a mall, book yourself a royal seat for more than to movies in a row and watch them one after the other in your pyjamas. WHO CARES. you only SL once in a while.
3. Give yourself some spa treatments.
Whether you can afford it or not, having a spa day at home or at a proper spa is très très très essential for those of you (all of you) who have cracked heels, un-manicured nails and dark spots under your eyes.
If thats the case, you really need some SL time.
Hit the superstores and buy yourself some face masks and mani/pedi kits,take a nice bubble bath, order some sushi, chinese or italiano for dinner, buy some scented candles and put on some really good music.
Tanning at the beach is always a good idea :)
Dance around your house, Dye your hair a different colour! (l'oreal casting creme gloss is absolutely amazing!)
Pamper yourself, you need that break!
Sometimes when you look good on the outside, you feel good on the inside.
Note : Don't forget to watch/read Eat,Pray,Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, it is the epitome of self love and discovery.
4. Do something that you think is completely absurd.
Ok, first off. Do this yourself or only with your best friend (someone you can trust).
5. Have a girls night out.
This. We all know.
Wear your best cocktail dress, put on those glitter Steve Maddens.
Go to a sushi bar or a cocktail party with your best girlfriends, dressed to nines , ready to take over the world. One heel at a time.
Gift your girlfriends something really special, have your sisterhood of travelling pants moment.
Or dress it down and have a legit Pajama party mmm!
Everyone loves a good chick flick and some junk food.
Have a happy hour at your place, switch on those disco lights, put some fun 80's music and do some pop rock kamikaze shots.
Like they say in SATC, no one understands you better than your girlfriends.
6. Take some time off to truly LOVE yourself.
People speak.Everybody talks, Everybody criticises, Everyone think they know who you are but honestly, they don't.
You know who you are. And during your SL time you need to start truly appreciating yourself and how far you've gotten in life.
You're a person of power, a strong and independent woman.
GET FLOWERS.
Buy yourself some pink/orange roses, some red carnations or violet peonies.
Nothing can make you feel better than some beautiful flowers.
Make yourself a flower crown!
Add some velvet into your wardrobe,the deep colour describes your strength and magnificence, richness.And the soft feel of it describes your warm heart and loveable personality.
Buy yourself some donuts or cupcakes,switch on your fairy lights.
Watch your favourite Audrey Hepburn movie, Buy yourself some cute lingerie.Cook yourself some gourmet italiano.
Read yourself some poetry, Dress up and take some super cute pictures.
Wear a bow. Bows are beautiful. And they make you happy.
Treat yourself like a queen.
And others will too.
And Always wear your invisible crown!

| Solitude is Bliss Basically avoid any conversation which puts you in an obligatory "she saw my message, she needs to reply asap" situation.You've got no idea how much these little things can affect your happiness. |

Ok, first off. Do this yourself or only with your best friend (someone you can trust).
- Have Ice cream for breakfast in bed.
- Plan an impromptu trip to a place you've never been before (Walter Mitty style) . Pack your bag, go to the airport, buy a plane ticket to wherever the next flight takes you.Midnight flights and sunset flights are the best.
- Dye your hair a crazy new colour, use hair chalk, or whichever colour you wouldn't dare having!
- Go on a crazy shopping spree, buy all the things you've always wanted to wear.
- Book tickets to a music festival.
