Audrey Hepburn once said, “happy girls are the prettiest”, and we couldn’t agree more! With the semester closing in, and the work that seems endless, we have found ourselves struggling to relax. Here at HC Montclair we have comprised a list of 5 ways to treat yourself because let’s face it, college is hard, and we all need to treat ourselves once in a while.
1. Have dessert…for dinner
Have you been eying that piece of chocolate cake all day? Go ahead and eat it, you deserve it. Who says you can’t have dessert for dinner?
2. Savor a big cup of something warm, sit back, relax, and dive into a book, or a Netflix series
Jump into a great story, try The Fault in our Stars by John Green, or a new series on Netflix, such as the raunchy drama, Orange is the New Black.
3. Take an extra long bath with extra bubbles, of course!
There’s just something about a long bath that allows you to let go of all your worries for a while, and be at peace.
4. Hit the salons, and the mall
We can vouch that retail therapy, is in fact the best kind of therapy. Hit the mall, splurge on that sundress you’ve been eying, treat yourself to a mani/pedi, and if you’re feeling daring, do something new with your hair.
5. Finally…remember to laugh, let go of the negativity, and relax!
Audrey Hepburn said it herself, you are the prettiest when you are happy! Don’t forget to remind yourself about just how great you are collegiates!
