There are more than two ways to view life. And routines, like doing chores, paying the bills, getting the groceries—all these errands, shouldn’t have to be taxing. Sure, they could get monotonous at some point, but there will always be ways to add zest to a bland dish. Why don’t you try treating yourself (aside from eating) after running errands? Here are some wellness activities you can do at SM Center Pasig:
Get your nails, lashes, and hair done
These quick aesthetic fixes are some mindless activities to relax and escape—like really simple and mini vacations where you won’t need to go out of town. They may be minor, but they also give an instant boost of self-confidence.
