Finish reading a book

Spend time with family
More than often, one regrets not spending enough time with their family. Cherish this time and sit more with your parents or partners. Maybe plan something special for them at home. Maybe cook something special for your parents or plan a surprise candlelight date right there at your home.
Detox with healthy food
It's not enough to stress how important one's health is. If you're one of those who always fail to have a rich breakfast or skip meals, this is the time when you start thinking about it. Also, if junk food is your love language, you can dedicate these five days to detoxing yourself. Eat your greens, drink juices, increase your water intake and flush out all the toxins from your body.
Indulge in self-care
How often do you get to pamper yourself? Try a new skin regime or book a spa at home and relax. You can skip pollution for a few days and give your skin a healthy treatment.
Binge watch your favourite series
