Feeling frazzled at the end of a long week? Perhaps the looming Monday has you in a knot of stress or the Sunday scaries are creeping in? It's time to hit pause and prioritise some well-deserved self-care. So, with this in mind, we’ve put together the ultimate Sunday self-care routine to help you unwind and recharge. From simple activities to help ease the transition into Monday to indulgent treats that’ll help you switch off, why not give one (or more) of these ideas a go this weekend? After all, Sundays are made for self-care, and you absolutely deserve it.

Sleep in a Little

The secret to starting self-care Sunday off right is a little extra sleep. Yep, don’t be afraid to hit that snooze button once or twice. This is your time to take advantage of a day with no appointments or duties, so make the most of the time you have with your duvet. Even an extra half-hour can work wonders for your mentality and set the tone for a breezy Sunday.

Kickstart the Day with a Gut-Friendly Breakfast

Start your Sunday on the right foot with a gut-friendly breakfast. Wave goodbye to hectic weekday mornings and savour the moment. Brew a steaming cup of herbal tea and prepare a nourishing breakfast to fuel your day. Need an extra boost? Add some greens powder to a smoothie for a microbiota-balancing, energy-boosting kick. With our Dewty Super Greens, packed with 16 nutrient-dense ingredients, you'll be supporting your gut health and enhancing immunity in no time. Remember, a happy gut means a happy you!

Journal 

Grab a notebook and dive into this therapeutic practice. Say goodbye to stress, hello to crushing your goals, and wave goodbye to those pesky negative thoughts. Plus, writing by hand amps up your creativity, memory, and focus – setting the stage for an epic self-care Sunday (and week) ahead.

Move Your Body

Let's get moving! Whether it's some easy stretching, a yoga flow, or even a little dance party in your living room, it's all about getting that body in motion. Exercise isn't just good for the body – it's a total mood booster, improves your sleep, and gives your skin that healthy glow. And hey, if you're feeling up to it, why not go all out with a high-intensity workout? 

Enjoy the Great Outdoors

You probably already know how great spending time in nature can be for your mental health. Fresh air, sunshine (fingers crossed!), and all those lush green views – nature's like a big, warm hug for your brain. It's the ultimate stress-buster, perfect for melting away those Sunday scaries. So, whether you're up for a big hike, a chill park hang with an ice cream cone, or just pottering around your backyard garden, get out there and let nature work its magic.

Cook Up Something Delicious 

Nothing says self-care like comfort food. Ditch the takeout for a homemade meal that nourishes both body and soul. Whether it's a comforting stew, freshly baked bread, or a vibrant salad, infuse your dish with love. And hey, if you're opting for a salad, why not take it up a notch and sprinkle some super greens powder on there for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals? It's the perfect way to elevate your meal and give your body that extra sprinkle of goodness.

Ditch the Devices

We all know how overwhelming it can be to constantly be bombarded with TV, social media, and texts. So, how about a little media detox one day a week? Trust us, once you push past that initial panic, you'll feel so much calmer and centred by the end of the day. It's all about giving your nervous system a much-needed break and reconnecting with the world around you.

Laugh Out Loud

Literally, LOL. Laughter really can be the best medicine. Science backs it up - having a good giggle reduces stress, boosts your mood, and even strengthens your immune system. Plus, it's like an instant bond-builder, making your connections with others (and yourself!) even stronger. So, go ahead, embrace the silly, crack a joke, and let those belly laughs rip on your self-care Sunday.

Take a Bath

Ahh, who doesn’t love a good soak in the tub? Melting away your weekly worries with a long soak in a hot bath is a great way to bring on that sense of calm. But who says you have to wait for the evening on Sunday Funday? Submerging yourself at any time of day can bring on a nice, serene sense of well-being. Fun fact: One study suggested that regular baths benefit physical and mental health more than taking a long shower.

Have a Proper Pamper

Instead of rushing through your skincare routine like perhaps every other day, use your Sunday to have a proper pamper session. Put on your favourite face mask. Do some dry brushing. Exfoliate your skin. Slather on that decadent moisturiser. Don’t forget your daily dose of collagen too, for that extra glowy skin. 

Get To Bed Early

Wrap up your self-care Sunday by hitting the hay a little early. Your body will thank you, and you'll wake up ready to tackle Monday like a boss. Sweet dreams!
