<p><strong>Go To The Spa</strong> &#8211; DUH!! You guys know that we LOVE<strong> <a href="https://www.thecrystalpress.com/plan-a-spa-day-at-scents-of-serenity-in-richmond/">Scents of Serenity</a></strong><a href="https://www.thecrystalpress.com/plan-a-spa-day-at-scents-of-serenity-in-richmond/"> </a>Organic Spa here in Richmond.  Lately, we have been loving a simple Deep Tissue Massage with CBD Oil, but every service they have is amazing. If you are in Richmond, book yourself a treatment and tell them we sent you! </p>



<p>If you aren&#8217;t in Richmond, find a local spa where you can go and unplug and relax.  It always makes us feel refreshed and revitalized. </p>



<p><strong>Buy A New Bathing Suit</strong> &#8211; Summer isn&#8217;t over friends. Remember <strong>every body is a beach body</strong> and treating yourself to a new suit can really make you feel like your best self. </p>

<p><strong>Take Yourself on a Date</strong> &#8211; Go sit at the bar at your favorite restaurant and get a good drink and a good meal.  If you don&#8217;t like to be by yourself (we, personally love it, but its not for everyone) make a date with your partner or a friend or family member and put your phones away and enjoy being in the moment.</p>



<p><strong>Make Time to Read</strong> &#8211; I always get more reading done in the summer, sitting by the pool, going to the beach and enjoying our front porch in the evening, but sometimes I still need to remember to make time to read.  Whether you like a good beach read (<em>I&#8217;m currently reading the Winter in Paradise series by Elin Hilderbrand</em>), or if you like a good crime thriller (<em>I&#8217;m a big Baldacci and Connelly fan</em>) here are a few of our current and past favorites we know you&#8217;ll love. </p>

<p><strong>Buy Yourself Some Bling</strong> &#8211; I am a HUGE fan of <strong><a href="https://www.rebeccapiersol.me/2021/05/spotlight-on-gorjana-jewelry.html">gorjana</a></strong> and their affordable gold jewelry.  My collection is vast and each day I like to mix and match different pieces. We are also veryyyyy into the idea of less conventional body bling like anklets and belly chains right now. 90s anyone? </p>

<p><strong>Take a YOU Day </strong>&#8211; This is basically a summary of all of the above. If you are lucky enough to have personal days from work, or feel like playing hookie, taking a day off during the week can do wonders for the soul. Book a massage, sit by the pool with a good book and end the day with a meal at your favorite restaurant. </p>



<p><em>Save this post as a reminder when you need to check-in with yourself and treat yourself to something GOOD.  YOU DESERVE IT! </em></p>
