Chill Out and Recharge: Self-Care Ideas for a Snowy Weekend

The snow’s here, and Indy’s staying in—let’s make it count!—what better time to slow down and focus on you? Self-care isn’t just about candles and face masks (though those are lovely). It’s about doing what fills your cup so you can show up for life refreshed, renewed, and ready to conquer.

We’re balancing careers, families, and everything in between, but we’ve got to remember: when we take care of ourselves, we’re better for everyone around us.

So, as the snow keeps us cozy at home, here are three ways to prioritize your self-care this weekend:

1️⃣ Create a “Me Time” Sanctuary

Grab that plush blanket, make a hot cup of tea (or a glass of wine—no judgment), and settle into your favorite chair. Use this time to journal, meditate, or dive into a good book. Give yourself permission to be still and soak in the quiet.

2️⃣ Pamper Yourself at Home

Turn your bathroom into a spa. Light a few candles, play some soft music, and run a hot bubble bath. Add essential oils or Epsom salts for an extra touch. Follow it up with your favorite skincare routine or a mani-pedi.

3️⃣ Reconnect with Your Passions

When was the last time you did something just for you? Whether it’s dancing around the house to your favorite ’90s playlist, baking a new recipe, or crafting, let yourself indulge in something that brings you joy.
