Banish the Sunday Scaries With These Personalized Activities

For some, running errands is a chore. For you, it’s a dream. Being able to carve out a few hours on Sunday to go grocery shopping or visit a friend is the ideal day, but while you’re running around, you should still take a moment or two to treat yourself. The Burt’s Bees Hydrating Facial Mist ($13) will moisturize and revitalize your skin with just one spritz while the Burt’s Bees Hydrating Balm Stick ($13) allows you to moisturize on-the-go with its inventive stick applicator. The 99% natural formula instantly moisturizes and uses aloe water, so it glides on smooth and absorbs quickly.

If a nice soak in a bath or a quick meditation session has you giddy with excitement, self-care is your bread and butter. Try turning up the chill setting on your Sunday night with a few burning candles, an easy yoga session, and a blissful skin care routine. The Burt’s Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub ($9) is made from real honey crystals to gently buff dry skin off lips, leaving them pillowy soft and ultra smooth.

Whether you take a moment to FaceTime your mom or you invite your bestie over to hang, Sunday for you is spending time with your crew. Get in your QT and practice self-care with those you love. Try making them your new smoothie recipe or introducing them to the skin care line you’ve been using — don’t forget, sharing is caring. The Burt’s Bees Sensitive skin care line is perfect for everyone since it’s so gentle, no matter your skin type. The Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream is especially ideal since it soothes and softens your skin without any irritation.

Sunday for you is all about enjoying your time at home before the hustle ahead. Keep the day simple and casual while staying close to your couch. Try streaming a workout from your phone to sweat it out in your living room or using a one-pot recipe for an easy meal and an even quicker cleanup. Think simple, but effective — especially when it comes to your skin care. The Burt’s Bees Sensitive Towelettes ($6) allows you to remove dirt and impurities without having to rinse: doesn’t get easier than that.

Don’t succumb to Sunday scaries! If looking at your weekly to-do list feels like a losing battle, try taking one task at a time. Prioritize each item and break down tasks into more manageable micro-tasks. For example, instead of saying “clean closet,” start with “organize shoe rack in closet” and “empty hamper.” Each will only take a few minutes and when combined, they make a big dent in your list!

The same method can be applied to your Sunday skin care routine. A multi-step routine may seem overwhelming, but when tackled one step at a time it becomes a self-care ritual. Try starting with a soothing face wash like the Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser ($10), then follow up with the Burt’s Bees Sensitive Night Cream ($15) and Eye Cream ($15). The softening cotton extract and soothing aloe will help you stay moisturized without any irritation or redness. Win-win.

You love your family and friends, but sometimes you just need some quality time with yourself to mentally prep for the week ahead. Whether that’s outfit planning your wardrobe for the week or meal prepping some yummy lunch options, carve out some time this Sunday to knock one thing off your to-do list and help you wake up Monday already feeling accomplished. You can also make the most out of your “me time” with a multi-tasking skin care routine. Apply the Burt’s Bees Detoxifying Clay Mask ($15) all over your T-zone to remove dirt, oil, and toxins that can clog pores. Pair that with the Burt’s Bees Rejuvenating Eye Masks ($3) for skin that looks more balanced, healthy, and revived.
