Depending on the extra money situation....I will treat myself to a pedicure done by someone else but if money is tight...I'll give myself a pedicure. Or I just soak my feet in a foot bath with nice smelling stuff!

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. 
I'm a rarity among guys in that I use a face cream/moisturizer in the morning, but that's as far as I go. My skin peels in a hurry if I don't use a cream on it (my fair Canadian skin can't handle Texas heat
).I can't imagine doing everything you do in the morning. You're worse than a girl!

By the way, I get a massage (not a "massage") occasionally to relieve stress. It's super relaxing. That massage therapist could make a fortune renting out beds for a few hours after the massage, because pretty much everyone would probably just like to fall asleep after a massage.

I used to be a real workout/health nut. always had between 6-8% body fat, and stayed pretty built out of High school and into college. Unfortunately working out is something I can't make regular time for. And Even if I did, I can't follow a strict diet to follow. If I can't do it right, I just won't do it.

id say just take a stroll with a significant other and try not to think about work and just relax and breath down. Or be like me and get a cardboard box, put it on the floor slide down your car and start your maintenance on the car.
