12 Things You Need to Treat Yourself To

We all have those weeks that go by so slowly, so we deserve to unwind and have we all need to slow down and force ourselves to relax when you feel stressed out. Some nights we need to stay in and dedicate a night to treating ourselves to relaxing. Try these therapeutic tricks that will help you relax and unwind from a really long week.

1. Candles

Lighting candles is an easy way to make your atmosphere super relaxing. And in no time your room will smell great. That’s a win/win.

2. Tea

Instead of having coffee for the 3rd time in one day, drink hot tea. Teas have a lot of benefits for your overall health and most of them are caffeine free.

3. Lotion

It might sound unnecessary but its actually easy to forget to moisturize. Dry skin is not cute but happens to the best of us. Plus you’ll smell amazing while you get soft skin.

4. Eat anything baked

Literally treat yourself to cookies and cake. Its fun to bake and even more fun to eat what you made.

5. Fuzzy socks

You know you have 18 pairs of fuzzy socks in your drawer. Treat your feet.

6. Comfy sweats or pajamas

You are in the privacy of your home and no one is judging you for wearing stained sweatpants. What a great feeling.

7. No makeup.

Your face will thank you. It's important to take off your makeup and let your skin breathe.

8. Face Mask

The best part of using a face mask is that you look so weird and can’t help but laugh when you look in the mirror. Pinterest even has recipes for face masks you can make yourself using ingredients in your kitchen.

9. Lush bath bomb

The ultimate calming activity is taking a bath. Throw in a cool bath bomb from Lush and you have a tub filled with pretty colors to chill in.

10. Coloring book

Get yourself a coloring book for adults aka the best invention ever. The pages are really pretty and get your mind off of everything.

11. Reality TV.


You need some Bachelor and Keeping Up With the Kardashians in your life. Trust me you will laugh and enjoy yourself when watching reality show drama.

12. Read a book

We all wish we could read more but never have time. Get yourself a novel reading before bed is a good way to make falling asleep easier.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
