An Amazing Stay-At-Home Weekend, The Right Way
We don't need to emphasize why having a bougie weekend at home is the best thing you can do for yourself in the current scenario. If you get a chance to enjoy the relaxation, it might just be the perfect indulgence for you. Opt for the coziest take-out available, set up a classic show, and treat yourself to a stress-free shower with no intrusive noises of housemates or family members.
When we talk about taking a shower, we mean taking a full-on spa experience, with all the exfoliating, nourishing, and haircare sessions. A perfect option to pamper your hair is Wella's Holiday Gift Sets. Packed with rich oils, luxurious masks, and revitalising conditioners and shampoos, these sets will leave your hair smelling amazing and healthy. We in particular are loving their Invigo range - perfect for our sun-ravaged hair. The components help to maintain the vibrancy of the colour, and you deserve a little pre (or post) Christmas TLC.
Indulge Yourself With A Spa Day
Indulging in a classic spa day is the peak of pampering. Put your phone on DND, clear your schedule, and spend a day luxuriating in oils and scrubs. Facials, massages and saunas - you name it. You can find everything under your desired budget. For a top-notch experience, we suggest The Day Spa at Chuan in Sydney's Langham Hotel. For something a bit more holistic, Selph Health Studio is the place to be.
Upgrade Your Bedroom With Towels and Bedding
Make your bedroom a little luxurious by adding luscious towels and cosy bedding. Ettitude, I Love Linen and Bed Threads are the way to go. Imagine coming home to butter-soft sheets after a long day.
Buy That Investment Piece You've Been Eyeing
We know you already have a few items in mind - now is the time to get them. If you curate your wardrobe during the Christmas season, why not buy a classic piece like a tailored jacket, loafers or that statement black dress that you've been dreaming of? You can find amazing pieces in physical stores or on platforms like The Real Real, Vestaire Collective, Depop and even Facebook Marketplace.
Revamp Your Morning Coffee Experience
Given that many folks in today's world are made to feel that investing in coffee is a moral failure and a large factor in why people will never be able to buy a home, savoring your adamant enthusiasm for caffeine has become a form of defiance. This holiday season, splurge on yourself and get a nice coffee machine. Whether it is a single-use pod model or one which grinds beans, there are a number of discounts available right now, making it a great time to invest.
Preparing a cup of coffee in the morning makes any dreary work-from-home day a little bit better. Although going out to your local cafe and supporting your local barista is a great idea, there is something incredibly mature about owning a fancy coffee machine.
Enhance Your Listening Regimen
Music has the power to act as the kindest form of self-care - a heartfelt cry or belt-it-out sing-along to your favorite album is a wonderful way to treat yourself.
If you happen to own some vinyl records sitting idle, now is the time to get a record player! Listening to music in the company of friends as you spin some records is such a wonderful pastime, and doing so alone allows for a unique sense of euphoria. Crosley turntables have been around for quite some time, and are still a popular, aesthetic, and affordable option. Audio-Technica has a wide selection of players which can suit any budget and taste. If records aren't your thing, it could be worth investing in a nice speaker or set of headphones.
Experiment With A Niche Subscription-Based Service
Finally, if you're having trouble deciding what to splurge on, why not consider signing up for a fancy subscription-based service? From opulent flower arrangements to luxurious boxes filled with wine, chocolates, and more, there's something that can suit every taste. If you're a fan of literature, it might be worth subscribing to a quarterly print edition of an independent magazine.
