I hope you are are all keeping safe during these crazy times. Being stuck indoors can really take its toll after a while and I sure a lot of you are feeling a little unmotivated and maybe a little down right now, I know I am. I wanted to share 20 of my favourite self care ideas you can do at home to make you feel a little uplifted during these uncertain times.
20 Helpful Self Care Ideas
1) Read that book you’ve been wanting to for a while ~ now is a great time to get stuck in!
2) Declutter your makeup, clothes, house, it will make you feel really good and a weight lifted.
3) Do your makeup, this sounds simple but can really boost your mood.
4) Give yourself a manicure or pedicure, fresh nails, fresh brain!
5) Watch that series you’ve been wanting to on Netflix, no better time than isolation than to binge watch a great series.
6) Bake, this can be so relaxing and really passes the time.
7) Have a yoga session, this is especially great in the mornings after waking up, can really clear and cleanse the mind.
8) Use your daily walk to get out into nature, visit a park, get some fresh air.
9) Get up early, have breakfast, a coffee and enjoy your morning.
10) Get creative, of like my most of your job is photography, start learning how to utilise your indoor space, it’s fun, I promise!
11) Watch your favourite movie.
12) Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now, you can even start a jar and do this daily!
13) FaceTime your friends and family keeping the communication going at this time is vital.
14) Take a nap ~ if you are feeling burnt out, there’s no shame in having a little midday nap!
15) Create a vision board ~ this is great for blogging and Instagram, this really helps organise my days and months.
16) Write down your feelings.
17) Publish that blog post you’ve been umming and ahhing about!
18) Have a skincare session, do a facemask, eye patches, freshen up that skin.
19) Have a bubble bath.
20) Film a YouTube video, miss a great time to start that channel you’ve been wanting to.

Yes yoga 🧘🏻♀️ is amazing for relaxing 😌 and you’re welcome, got to get in some self care, especially at the moment x
These daily walks have been wonderful for me! And as much as I don’t think I want to FaceTime people (feeling like an icky quarantine rat) I am always so happy after I do! Good tips!
Awwww yes I have been loving our daily walks, especially during this weather has been nice to get some fresh air x
Wonderful ideas, I have been taking way more baths lately!
I love a good bath!
Checked a few of these off during my quarantine time. It’s helped reduce panic as I’ve looked at this time as a reset rather than being “stuck in the house” so I can be better than ever when I’m let out of the house again!! Great post, I may have to try a few more of these while I still can.
Aww that’s awesome, I hope you are feeling better. Keeping focused on things always helps with my anxiety x x
Love the ideas! I definitely need to take small breaks once in a while to stay sane.
Defiantly, need to take time for yourself.
These are all wonderful selfcare ideas! I need to do some more often! I like waking up early and having some time to myself 🙂

I still struggle to get up early, as I’m always awake so late at night! 🌝
These are such lovely ideas, I love this time of year for self care, all cosy and lovely and taking care of ourselves x
Awe definitely, nothing like getting all cosy with a hot chocolate and face mask on!
Number one and nineteen are my favourite, I always buy alot of books but I struggle to get through them so when I take self care time I love to have a read in the bath! A bathbomb and a book is purse bliss. Thanks for sharing x
