  4. Stay Hydrated: Do your best to include an 8-glasses-of-water-a-day rule to your lifestyle. Water is crucial to your body's well-being, from assisting with weight loss to keeping your skin young.
  5. Take a Nap: Your body needs rest. If you aren't getting a full night's rest, it may be a good idea to add in a power-nap to your routine. You might be surprised to know that healthy sleep is good for your heart, mind, weight, and more.
  6. A Healthy Beauty Treatment: You really deserve this! Though you are beautiful, with the passage of time, your skin needs some rejuvenation. There is a wide range of things you can do. To start with, try some DIY food facials.
  7. Get Some Exercise: It could be anything, even swimming. And you can always mix up your workout. It doesn't have to be complicated. You can even get out for some regular walks during your week.
