Call a nearby park or other wilderness area and inquire about renting a cabin. Accommodations typically are moderate in price, and you can spend the weekend taking quiet walks, curling up with a good book or writing in your journal. For a little extra pampering (usually at an additional cost), ask for a cabin with a hot tub or whirlpool bath.
2. Go on a Ladies' Spa Escape
If you're up for a splurge, book yourself and two or three of your best friends at a full-service resort and spa. At the pool, you can catch up on each others' lives, and then you can treat yourself to everything from facials to deluxe massages. Ask about special package discounts for bundling several services together.
3. Treat Yourself Like a Queen at Home
Sometimes all you really need is a little peace and quiet in your own house. Send your husband and children to visit the in-laws while you stay behind. You can enjoy all of those things you wish you could spend time on but that never seem to reach the top of your to-do list, such as scrapbooking or gardening. You also can give yourself a home spa experience. Get the bubble bath ready and dive in to relaxation. Try Olay® Body Thermal Pedicure to get that salon pedicure feel in the comfort of your own home.
4. Enjoy Potluck Travels
Reclaim your spirit of adventure by picking your travel destination at the last minute. There's nothing like the sights and sounds of a new place to refresh your spirit.
