spend time with family

Often, one regrets not spending enough time with their family. Cherish this time and spend more time with your parents or partner. Maybe plan something special for them at home. Maybe cook something special for your parents or plan a surprise candlelight date at your home.

detox with healthy food

engage in self-care
