Sundays are about slowing down—a breath at the end of a long and hectic week. It’s your time to recharge and to give back to yourself. And what better way to prepare for the days ahead than with a full reset? Think of it as one day of high maintenance, so the rest of the week can be effortlessly low maintenance.
Start with Self-Care
Begin with an everything shower. Let the water wash away the weight of last week while your deep conditioner melts into your hair. Take your time. Afterwards, it’s time to focus on skincare. Let your routine feel like a ritual, not a chore: massage in your serums, linger with your moisturizer and move slowly. This is for you.
Brows are the next focus. They frame your face and subtly shift your whole look. Shape them, trim them tint them—whatever makes you feel polished. Investing the time now means no rushed plucking before class or work when you’re already running late.
Polish the Details
If you love a little glow, Sunday is the perfect time to apply a fresh fake tan. A subtle tan can add warmth and radiance, giving you that “I have my life together” look even when you’re running on coffee and two hours of sleep. Apply it carefully and let it develop while you relax with a good book or your favorite show. Since it is Sunday, you shouldn’t have to worry about rushing. Make sure the tan is applied evenly and give it time to really marinate.
False lashes can be a small but powerful addition to your look. Soft clusters or individuals can last for days, giving you fluttery, natural lashes without needing mascara every morning. It’s one less step—and one more thing that makes you feel quietly beautiful. Waking up and seeing yourself in the mirror for an already perfect set is a great start to any day. It makes you feel elevated without having to actually do anything for the rest of the week.
VALLEY’s last Sunday reset recommendation is to take a moment for your nails. Whether you choose a clean nude, a soft pastel, or a bold pop of color, freshly done nails pull your whole look together. It’s a small detail that carries big energy.
Walk into Monday, Glowing
By the time Sunday night rolls around, you’ll feel refreshed, confident and ready to take on the world. Monday mornings won’t be a scramble—they’ll feel like a continuation of the self-love you gave yourself the day before. You did the work. Now, all week long, you can show up as the most effortless, glowing version of you.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

Thanks for your write-up on this site. From my very own experience, there are occassions when softening up a photograph may well provide the photo shooter with a dose of an inventive flare. Sometimes however, that soft cloud isn’t just what you had under consideration and can usually spoil an otherwise good photo, especially if you thinking about enlarging that.
