Five-Minute Indulgences

We're guessing you don't have a lot of time to yourself these days. But just because you can't carve out an hour to chill doesn't mean you can't indulge in a little pampering here and there. Here are 10 little ways to treat yourself when you've only got five minutes to spare.

Eat something sinfully delicious and don't feel guilty about it for a second.

Make out with your partner like a couple of teenagers.

Lock the door and go to the bathroom by yourself without any interruptions.

Give yourself a hand massage with some delicious-smelling lotion.

Write a "thinking of you" note to a friend on pretty stationery.

Slather on a facial mask.

Paint your toenails with a non-toxic polish.

Make yourself a cup of tea—and drink it while it's hot!

Hide from the kids and have a popsicle.

10.

Hit the snooze button. (OK, that's nine minutes, but you totally deserve it!)
