Written by: Rachael Thomas
If you didn’t participate in our third annual Hooky Day on Oct. 19, no worries – we just want you to take your day off before the year comes to a close. To help you prep for it, we have even more ways for you to enjoy your day. (Need more inspiration? Check out our previous post for other activities you can do).
1. Do at home facials
You can whip up a DIY face mask or get your favorite one from the store.
2. Meditate
Find a comfortable and quiet space in your home to practice returning to self.
3. Go to a therapy appointment
Embarking on a therapy journey can be intimidating but the life-changing insights are so worth it.
4. Get creative in the kitchen
Try a new recipe! Or remix one of your favorite dishes.
5. Learn how to make your favorite drink
Enjoy happy hour from home. Try out a cocktail kit from one of our favorite brands, Seoulfully Inspired.
6. Learn how to make a flower arrangement
Surprise a loved one with a beautiful bouquet – or treat yourself to one.

Unleash your inner child and bounce away.

You’ll learn so much about how strong you are in the process.
10. Visit your local animal shelter
You may come home with a new furry friend.

We see strikes in your future.
12. Do a float tank
These pods eliminate all external sensory stimulation as you float on your back, allowing for ultimate relaxation.

Get some fresh air and enjoy nature while getting a good workout.
14. Take a photography course
Tap into your creative potential as you learn how to capture life’s everyday moments.

16. Have a solo dance party featuring your favorite tunes
Use every cringey dance move at your disposal.
17. Or invite your friends to a dance party
And a virtual one still counts!
18. Find an outdoor live music performance
We challenge you to go see an artist you’ve never heard of. You might find your next favorite musician.

“Fore!”
20. Have recess
We don’t know about y’all, but a game of tag with friends in the backyard sounds like a good time right about now.
21. Climb a rock wall
Put those legs and arm muscles to the test.
22. Take a ballroom dance class
Pretend you’re Cinderella for an evening (the live-action one starring Brandy, of course).
23. Try an acupuncture appointment
This practice has shown to relieve pain and balances energy.
24. Read five chapters from a book on your reading list
Next thing you know, you might finish the book.

If all you do on your Hooky Day is catch up on sleep, that is a win in our eyes.
