6 Simple Ways to Treat Yourself

12 March 2021

Taking better care of yourself can be as easy as spending quality time with friends, rewarding yourself with a gift or enjoying the little things in life.

There’s no reason why you can’t treat yourself every now and then. After all, you have been working hard, so why not celebrate your achievements – be it with a pampering treatment, practising a healthy new habit or a thoughtful gift for yourself? And in these times, self-care has never been more important for just about everyone.

Whether you’ve hit a major milestone in life or are simply in an indulgent mood, here are six easy ways to treat yourself.

1. Centre Yourself Through Meditation

These days, it’s all about the ‘hustle’. Thanks to our busy schedules, we often forget to take a breather. For more mindful living, start each day on a peaceful note with a short meditation session. Even five minutes a day can be beneficial to your overall mental health by lowering stress levels and improving concentration.

Set the mood for your meditation sessions by choosing a quiet corner with minimal distractions. To lull you into the zen mode, you can also play some relaxing music in the background, or consider incorporating Royal Selangor’s Sense Standing Bell. With its soothing tone advised by Enryakuji monastery on Japan’s Mount Hiei, it is said to influence the body’s chakras and promote a sense of well-being through sound.

2. Check into a Luxury Hotel

With travel being a distant dream for now, evoke holiday vibes by going away on a well-deserved hotel staycation. Check into The Raffles Hotel for a five-star luxury escapade. Their Royal Raffles Experience includes a one-night stay in the Grand Hotel Suite and complimentary breakfast in-suite or at Tiffin Room. To top it off, you can also enjoy the renowned quintessential Afternoon Tea at The Grand Lobby and an exclusive social etiquette session to learn all about tea decorum.

If you’re hankering for a family getaway, take your kids on an in-room “glamping” experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore. The Ritz Kids Night Safari Adventures bring the fun of the great outdoors inside with an overnight stay in a Deluxe Suite – complete with a sleeping tent, a kids’ activity sheet, and breakfast for the whole family.

3. Create a Bedtime Oasis for a Good Night’s Sleep

Having a night of uninterrupted slumber is the best way to kick start the day. The key is to turn your bedroom into an oasis of rest and relaxation with the right fittings and accessories. Ergonomic pillows provide optimal support and maximum comfort for any weary sleepers, while high thread-count bedding in luxurious fabrics will have you sleeping through the night like a baby.

Soothing scents can also have a sedative effect. For instance, the intoxicating notes of Lalique's Néroli Casablanca candle and Banyan Tree's pillow mist which is infused with lavender and chamomile can help to relieve stress and relax your mind for a night of restful sleep.

4. Indulge in a Pampering Spa Experience

A day of head-to-toe pampering in an award-winning spa? Pure heaven. Treat yourself to the ultimate indulgent experience at the Ritz-Carlton. Its 120-minute Head to Toe Experience promises to relax your mind, body, and soul with a line-up of treatments, including a stress relief massage, a revitalising scalp massage, back exfoliation, and foot scrub. That’s not all - guests can also enjoy full-day access to spa facilities such as the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, or even work out at Ritz-Carlton’s gym.

For those looking to revitalise their tired and dull-looking complexion, Porcelain’s Beespoke™ 105-minute Honey Facial offers an instant rejuvenation by harnessing the benefits of Cryotherapy™, Shiatsu facial massage, and red LED light therapy. After the session, you can also take home a complimentary 3-piece kit by Porcelain.

5. Enjoy a Night-in With Your Best Friends

Good company is the best remedy, especially when you are spending quality time with your BFFs. Why not round them up for a fun night-in at home? There’s plenty you can do: enjoy a round of games, test your mixology skills with DIY cocktails or challenge your pals to a sing-off with Popsical's Remix Home Karaoke System.

Better yet, join forces in the kitchen by whipping up a hearty home cooked meal together, whether it’s taking on the task of making fresh pasta or baking a homemade sourdough with the help of a handy bread maker.

6. Experience a Rush of Endorphins

A quick workout can do wonders for your overall physical and mental health. The best part is experiencing ‘runner’s high’ - the euphoric state following intense exercise. 

Whether it’s a short-but-brutal HIIT session or a leisurely jog around the park, equipping yourself with the right gear can help maximise your workouts. Homegrown activewear brands Kydra and Yumi Active offers a range of chic-yet-functional performance gear that will have you looking stylish and feeling comfortable, even during intense workouts.
