Some people are missing getting their usual self care treats. Whether its being pampered, feeling motivated, or being able to relax, we’re all missing things that make us feel good outside of the home. Self-care is all about feeling our best and being able to slow down to appreciate the small things, so I’ve compiled a list of simple lockdown self-care activities you can do to make yourself feel better while staying at home.
