Cosily Cocooned - Self Care Tips

Because the story may be too erotic for some.

National Sundae Day - Sweet Activities!

  • DIY Sundae Bar: Set up a sundae station with a variety of ice cream flavors, sauces (chocolate, caramel, strawberry), and toppings like sprinkles, whipped cream, fruits, and nuts. Let everyone in the family customize their own sundae creation.

  • Sundae Taste Test Challenge: Grab some unique or unusual ice cream flavors and have a blind taste test. Rank the flavors and try to guess which is which.

  • Sundae Art: Use toppings to "paint" a scene or shape on your sundae. Kids (and adults!) can make faces, animals, or patterns with sprinkles, gummy candies, and fruits.

  • Sundae Scavenger Hunt: Hide sundae toppings around the house and let everyone go on a scavenger hunt to find them. Once everyone has found their toppings, they can build their sundaes.

  • Ice Cream Cone Sundae Parfaits: Layer ice cream and toppings in a glass for a parfait-style sundae or try making mini sundaes in ice cream cones.

  • Sundae and Movie Night: Pick a fun movie, and serve themed sundaes with toppings inspired by the characters or setting of the film.

  • Sundae Topping Crafts: For a creative twist, use sundae toppings to make crafts or play sensory games with kids. Arrange toppings into shapes on a plate or “glue” (with a dab of frosting) small treats onto a piece of paper to create sweet artwork.

  • Sundae Day Sweet Movies:
    Monsters Inc
    Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Movie
    Meet Strawberry Shortcake
    Children's Favourites Bumper Special

    National Singles Day - Treat Yoself!

    1.Self-Care Spa Day

    • Treat yourself to a relaxing home spa day. Start with a warm bath or shower, use your favorite skincare products, and even light some candles or diffuse essential oils. You could even go for a DIY facial, a luxurious hair mask, or a foot soak.

    2. Movie Marathon or Series Binge

    • Pick out a selection of your favorite feel-good movies or series and settle in with cozy blankets. Whether you’re into rom-coms, action, or animated films, choose whatever makes you feel happiest. Bring your dog along for cuddles and make it a cozy movie day.

    3. Order or Cook Your Favorite Meal

    • Enjoy your favorite comfort food, whether that means ordering in from a restaurant you love or cooking something special for yourself. Add a sweet treat or dessert if you like!

    4. At-Home Hobby Time

    • Spend some time doing something you enjoy but may not always have time for, like drawing, writing, knitting, or playing an instrument. It's a great way to relax and unwind, and it’s even better if you have a passion project you’ve been meaning to work on.

    5. Play with Your Dog

    • Spending time with your dog can be incredibly rewarding and stress-relieving. You could try teaching them a new trick, going for a long walk if the weather’s nice, or just playing around with their favorite toys indoors.

    6. Self-Reflection and Gratitude Journaling

    • Take a moment to reflect on the great things about being single and independent. Write down things you're grateful for, your goals, and everything you’re proud of. It’s a great way to celebrate where you are in life right now.

    7. Try a New Creative Project

    • Whether it’s baking something new, starting a photo scrapbook, or finally tackling a DIY project, letting your creative side out can be super fulfilling.

    8. Set Up a Cozy Spot for Reading or Meditating

    • Gather up some pillows and blankets, find a peaceful corner, and get lost in a book you’ve been wanting to read. Or if you prefer, put on a meditation track or calming music, close your eyes, and relax.
