Here's 5 themes that u can choose to make any day special

Vacations at home cannot really be considered as vacations. However, add a little hotelier spin to it and you might actually find it more fun. Besides, what is the one thing you wish for after a long day at work? A relaxing spa session, right? While heading to spas might not be a good idea right now, you can bring the spa over to your place. In fact, you can purchase some exquisite exfoliating face masks, scented candles, ready-to-use manicure and pedicure set and eye masks from Amazon for the weekend. One of the most important things to do during a spa day is to ensure that you're in the middle of a calming environment. This means dimming the lights, lighting up the scented candles, toying with essential oils and doing fun spa scenes! You can even call your girlfriends over and share the experience with then. It is an entire day after all so make the most of it.

Here's something fun that you can do with your family. Every weekend perhaps, you can dedicate it to a specific international cuisine and indulge in some home cooking with the family. Luckily, there are many famous chefs from around the world who have put up shows describing some of the fabulous dishes that they cook. For all you know, you could be the next Nigella Lawson! Bring home sone authentic Asian cuisine or make an Italian rendezvous at home by cooking up a nice meal with wine to drink. By the end of the pandemic, you might emerge into one of the best chefs anyone has ever come across. Besides, if you're living with family, it would be a great way to keep things lively at home, especially over the weekends when the kids expect to be taken out. This way you will be able to introduce new habits and passion among them and that will be quite awesome!

The pandemic and lockdown can get super challenging for young parents with kids. Entertaining kids and keeping them calm is always a tough feat for new parents. However, over the weekends, you can make things interesting for them. You can use this time to invest in teaching your kids essential new things and indulging them in fun activities. Order a camping tent on Amazon and teach your child how to pitch it. Or, you can simply use all the bedsheets in the house to make a fancy fort-like space with your kids. You can use this time to connect with then, tell them spooky tales with a flashlight, talk about your childhood experiences, indulge them in cute stories and make the most to let them know that everything will be back to normal soon. Further, you can introduce new things such as board game nights or movie marathons. There is a plethora of entertainment content available online so you will never get done with movie nights. Besides, it could transpire into a good family activity or a routine of sorts.

Be it gardening or painting, a hobby always makes you feel better and puts away all your work stress. There are probably a bunch of things that you like doing but are unable to due to a stressful work schedule or are too caught up over the weekends with family to sit back and relax. But here's an interesting thought for you. If you call it a 'Hobby Weekend' and indulge everyone in the house to take up an activity that they most enjoy doing, you will also get to do your own thing! It could be going for a run, taking an online art class perhaps, checking out live performances from around the world, painting, cooking, carpentry, the list goes on! This would also be a good time to understand your kids and their interests. It is essential that as a parent you push your child to do what makes them the happiest. In a way, their hobbies would show you what they are best at and maybe you can help direct them to the same path.

It's always great to do good for others and in a way, return the goodness you have received back to the universe, right? In the rut of staying at the top, people often forget about others. But it would be quite nice to use the extra free time that you can muster during your work from home stint and return the goodness back to the society. There are several volunteer programmes for the community that keep taking place. Maybe you can sign up for one? In fact, you can take your family along with you to take up such projects and help out some local communities. Predominantly, volunteer work is taken up during trips and vacations. However, with the pandemic, there is a massive change in the travel approach. Instead of vacations, people are now taking staycations wherein you can live in a whole new space, away from the crowd, away from your house, with nature and peace. During your staycation then, you can take up community volunteer projects and help out the society in whatever way you can. It will also help you learn more about the environment you live in and reflect on your own actions.

A little variation in your daily routine would be refreshing and would definitely help you grow as a person. Taking up these themes to make your day special might lead to something more fruitful.
