Where Knowledge Becomes Legacy
Day Six
Everything you need for Saturday, in the order your planner asks for it.
Bath essentials
Your favorite body wash, bath salts, bath bombs, whatever gets you in the water.
Order itOr freeThe body wash already in your shower counts. Epsom salt from any grocery store is a couple dollars and does the same thing as a bath bomb.
Face cleanser, exfoliator or scrub, face mask, moisturizer
Order itOr cheapDollar Tree carries single-use sheet masks. Sugar and olive oil from your kitchen is a scrub.
Body lotion or butter, and your body spray or perfume
A scent that makes you feel expensive.
Order itOr freeWhatever's on your dresser right now. The point is that you put it on for yourself.
Flowers
Because you deserve to be surrounded by something beautiful that you bought yourself.
Order itOr cheapGrocery store bouquets run five to eight dollars. Dollar Tree has stems.
Candles, and matches or a lighter
Order itOr cheapDollar Tree. Or the candle already sitting in your house.
Comfy pajamas
If you don't own a set that feels amazing, today is the day.
Order itOr freeYour softest t-shirt. Nobody is looking.
Something to drink
Cranberry juice, sparkling water, tea, wine, whatever your thing is.
WhereGrab it at the store.
Snacks
Nobody crafts for three hours on an empty stomach. Charcuterie, popcorn, chocolate, your pick.
WhereGrab it at the store.
Whatever settles them for bed
Books, a movie, soothing music, the thing that works in your house.
One extra poster board, plus their own scissors and glue
They're building one too.
Order itOr cheapDollar Tree. One dollar each.
Magazines, if you don't have a printer
Anything you can cut up.
Order itOr freeCatalogs, junk mail, the free magazines at the front of any grocery store.
Printer paper, if you do have a printer
Order itOr cheapPrint your phone photos at Walmart or Walgreens for pennies apiece.
A frame, only if you want one
Read this before you go looking. Eleven by seventeen is not a common frame size and the ones that fit are not cheap. Tape or command strips hold a poster board on a wall just fine. Skip it and nothing about your board changes.
If you buy every item on this page new, you're looking at about forty dollars.
If you use what's already in your house and spend the rest at the dollar store, you're looking at about six.
Do it whichever way your week allows.
Saturday works either way.
