We’ve all heard it for decades: “It’s Hump Day!” The phrase usually conjures up images of tired office workers eye-balling the Friday finish line. But for the women of the OWRO generation, Wednesday doesn’t have to be a hill to climb—it can be the summit where we stop to enjoy the view.
Whether you are still rockin’ a career, pivoting to a side hustle, or enjoying the freedom of a self-directed schedule, the middle of the week is the perfect time to shift gears. When we aren’t tied to a traditional 9-to-5, days can sometimes bleed into one another. Marking "Hump Day" gives the week a rhythm and a reason to celebrate.
5 Ways to Make Your Wednesday Sparkle
The Mid-Week "Home Spa" Escape Why wait for a special occasion to feel pampered? Turn your bathroom into a sanctuary. Light those "expensive" candles, put on a face mask, and let the world wait. Wednesday is the perfect day to soak away the Monday-Tuesday stress and reset your glow for the days ahead.
The "Spa & Sparkle" Soiree Everything is better with friends. Invite a couple of your best girlfriends over for a "Spa Afternoon." Tell everyone to bring their favorite polish or a new sheet mask. It’s low-pressure, high-connection, and a lot cheaper than a resort!
The Mid-Week Treat Make Wednesday the day you visit that specific bakery, florist, or coffee shop. By designating a "Wednesday-only" indulgence, you create a bright spot in the literal center of your week.
The "Check-In" Tradition Use this day to call one person you haven’t spoken to in a while. Since it’s not the busy start of the week or the frantic weekend, Wednesdays are usually the sweet spot for a long, meaningful chat.
The Pivot Ritual Take five minutes to "clear the deck." Look at what you’ve accomplished since Sunday and celebrate it! Then, pivot your energy toward whatever makes you feel most alive for the days ahead.
The Bottom Line: We don’t just "get over" the hump anymore—we own it. Wednesday is our reminder that we are halfway to a new adventure, and we’re doing it with style, silver hair, and a rock-and-roll attitude.
How are you marking the middle of your week? Are you masking up or meeting up? Let’s hear it in the comments!
