Making the Most of a Stay In Day

Nothing beats a good day at home. Believe me, I know. I recently had my wisdom teeth taken out and it was surprisingly the most relaxing weekend I've had in a while. Whether you're sick, in recovery, or just need some alone time, here are some ways to make the most of your stay in day.

1. Entertainment

Today is a day of simple indulgence my friend. You want to read some trashy Harry Potter fan-fiction? You get it, girl. You want to watch Netflix all day? I mean, who doesn't want to marathon Parks and Recreation for a third time? You feel like playing Sims 4 for 10 straight hours? Dream big, girl.

2. Medicine (If needed)

Too often, I've gone down the route of 'My body is designed to heal itself. It'll work out eventually.' No! Don't listen to that voice. Take the medicine you need so you can be in tip-top shape sooner rather than later. Stock up on all of the medicine you need and don't forget to stay hydrated!

3. Social Media

 Who doesn't enjoy endlessly scrolling through tumblr, pinning your dream wardrobe onto your pinterest boards, or stalking your ex and old friends on facebook? Don't think of it as time wasting. It's keeping up with the latest news. Right? RIGHT?

4. Pamper time

This is the time to treat yourself to a little bit of luxury. So light those candles, run a bath, add those bubbles, and turn on that relaxing Pandora station. If you're feeling really adventurous put on a face mask and paint your nails. You've earned it!

5. Work.. y'know... if you must.

If you're feeling up to it, it might be good to get a little work done. So you need to send a few emails, get those out of the way. Have some online classes, take some quizzes or answer some discussion boards. Get those things out of the way so you can fully enjoy your time to the fullest.

These are just a few things I like to do when I have a relaxing day in. Some nice extras I like to add are eating some yummy foods (I've eaten my fair share of watermelon this weekend), re-organizing my room (it relaxes me, okay?), and messing around with fun apps on the iPad. What are your favorite in-home activities?
