The demands of modern life can weigh on everyone. It all adds up so quickly: the job, the kids, making sure you’re eating healthy and exercising regularly, the never-ending to-do list, outings with friends and relatives on the weekend. Oh, and don’t forget it’s your best friend’s birthday tomorrow. The world just rushes madly on, doesn’t it?

But what about your own peace of mind? Even when your life is filled with people and things you love, if you don’t take time out for yourself once in a while, you can find your tank running on empty too often. And let’s face it, every woman deserves to feel like a queen for day.

Here are five ways to indulge in a day of luxury that will leave you feeling refreshed, invigorated and ready to face the world again without breaking your pocket book.

Schedule a Spa Treatment

Not everyone can afford a day at the spa, but if you can, go all out. Schedule an appointment for a massage, a pedicure in one of those awesome pedicure chairs, a manicure or laser hair removal. While laser hair removal prices in Salt Lake City and around the country tend to fluctuate, laser hair removal is something every woman deserves to treat herself to. Or you can always create your own spa experience at home by sprinkling fresh rose petals around the bathtub, lighting some candles, adding a few drops of essential oils to the water and playing your favorite relaxing music in the background. Let yourself sink into the moment, breathe deeply and enjoy the peace.

Take Yourself out for Dessert

Take yourself out to a cafe or restaurant you’ve always wanted to visit, and order desert. Go for something you wouldn’t normally allow yourself to have, and savor every rich bite. If you’d rather eat it at home on the couch in your pajamas, order it to-go, and kiss public appearances goodbye for the day.

Do Nothing

Make sure you clear your calendar of commitments, because you’re going to need a block of time to do nothing while you’re queen for a day. Dress in your most luxurious, relaxing clothes, and put your feet up. Watch a movie you’ve been wanting to see, listen to relaxing music, meditate, or just stare out the window for a few hours and think, “I have nothing to do and nowhere to be but right here being me.” In the mad rush of life, we often overlook how amazing it can feel to do nothing.

Get Your Hair or Makeup Done

A few hours at the makeup counter or in the beauty parlor can make a world of difference to your state of mind. Get a trim, a color, or just discover a new shade of eyeshadow that looks awesome with your skin this season. You’ll be thanking yourself for the instant beauty lift.

Buy Something Beautiful

Every woman needs to feel beautiful. It’s easy to fall into our routines and forget to buy ourselves something new now and then. Go shopping with the sole purpose of buying something that makes you feel beautiful. Maybe a new outfit, a pair of ridiculous yet amazing shoes, a scarf, or a pair of earrings. Never underestimate the power of a new accessory to make you feel like you can take on the world again.

Whatever you choose to do for your day of queendom, just make sure it feeds your mind, body and spirit. If it stresses you out, don’t do it. Pick only the things that leave you feeling relaxed, recharged and beautiful.
