Set the mood.

First and foremost, a relaxing self-care routine starts with the right ambiance. Find your happy place and light some candles and tidy up your space so you can focus solely on yourself. Put on whatever music you like, your favorite TV show in the background, or listen to an inspiring podcast. However you chose to spend this time, the best part is that it’s yours to do whatever gets your mind right.

Take a relaxing bath or shower.

Rinsing off the day or taking a relaxing soak can be a luxurious experience found right in the comfort of your home, making this the perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day self-care ritual.
