Since I build a new schedule six days work one day break, there are some favorite things that I love to do during either Saturday/Sunday. Though to be honest, I am all about self-care and even it is not the weekend, I still do some of these.

### 1. House chores !

Though I clean daily, I spend my weekend doing laundry and dusting my room. I also clean my work space where I spend almost 90% of my week days trying to look busy and do my thesis. It can get quite messy especially when I spend too much time on it. Other than cleaning this space, I also do laundry, cleaning my pantries and listing all the items I need to buy during my next grocery shopping. I also clean out the house and sanitize it. I use sanitizer spray to clean out the air and also surfaces.

### 2. Facial Care

On the weekend, I try to give myself a bit of special treatment using facial scrub, facial mask and sometimes pore strips. After that I moisturize my face and applying lip balms. I love nivea products as you can tell. I also have their sunscreen and body lotion. 


### 3. Reading books
While waiting for my mask, I like to read a book. I generally try to read one book a day but lately, it has becoming an impossible thing to do. So, I move it to weekend (either saturday or sunday) where I get to read as much I want.

This week, I am trying to finish reading The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. Other than books, I normally read journals, news and anything other than politic. I keep politic during week days only. 


### 4. Prepping

The only prep that I do is medication and vitamins. I like to take my nootropics regimen very seriously. It's been a while since I am doing reviews and charting my nootropics. I generally take vitamin C, A, Bcomplex because I think getting it from food is not enough. I also take magnesium and ginkgo biloba. The only prescription I have is piracetam which I take to help me with my post-concussion. Sometimes, I also throw in acid reflux medication but I often skip them since I don't get acid reflux that often these days.

### 5. Budgeting 
<div class="pull-right"> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/macchiata/tmtPd8a6-image.png </div> My self-care definitely includes finance planning. I don't have time to do this during weekday. So, I dedicate either Saturday or Sunday thinking about how much I should spend on food and snacks. By either Sunday/Monday, I generally I have ideas how much I should spend in a week and things I have to pay. During this day, sometimes I also research about investment plans and things I want to buy especially cryptocurrencies. I also have digital budgeting tools but it's much easier to write it down first before moving them into digital expenses.

### 6. Anime/Movie time
This one is really depends. I normally watch anime with my boyfriend on Thursday but sometimes we also do it during Saturday/Sunday if he's not going out with his family. If I watch alone, I like to watch the same thing all over again just to learn about the character developments, symbolism, plot and over-thinking about the meaning behind the story.

### 7. Creative time

My creative idea is limitless. Recently, I am trying to learn colors from my watercolour pencils and doing collage. If not doing art, I am learning how to sew or butchering my old phones to learn the components. Sometimes, creative for me also means learning how to make games, writing a poetry, trying new recipes or just simply doodle random things. 

#### So... that's how I spend my Saturday or Sunday. How do you spend yours? let me know in the comment section or even write a post about it.
