Your Guide to an Air Faerie Approved Self-Care Day

     Rest and relaxation are top priorities for these floating faeries. So, who better to ask to craft the perfect self-care day for a weary Pet? We asked the Air Faeries of Neopia to guide us through a day of rest that’s sure to be heavenly for both you and your Neopet.

     A battle-weary Neopet can’t focus on their appearance without first restoring their Hit Points to feel their best. Any good self-care day should start with a trip to the Healing Springs, where Marina the Water Faerie is ready and willing with healing magic spells and potions galore. Don’t forget to stock up on Healing Potion XXII for a 225 HP boost that’s sure to cure what ails you. After renewing your Pet’s health to full Hit Points, allow them time to sit back and relax in a beautiful Elegant Air Faerie Bathtub. This stunning addition to your Neohome brings the softness of the clouds down to anywhere you may be. This item can be purchased at Faerie Furniture, a shop staffed by an Air Faerie who is always willing to guide you through their incredible selection of Neohome goods!

     Relaxation of the mind is equally important on your day of rest, so take your Neopet to Shenkuu to walk through their lush and beautiful gardens. Shenkuu is a favourite holiday destination of the Air Faeries because of the crisp mountain air in the highlands and the cloudy mist that settles below. Taking in all the natural beauty that bursts from this unique landscape is sure to allow your Neopet’s mind to drift easily into the present moment and away from any cares or troubles. As you unwind, you may even be inspired to create some gardens of your own. If that’s the case, pick up the book Planning Shenkuu Gardens from the Magical Bookshop. Your pet will increase their intelligence while also getting some incredible ideas to bring the stunning gardens of Shenkuu home with you. All the Air Faeries agree that every self-care day should include a good book!

     While Air Faeries prefer to eat exclusively food that can float in the skies along with them, they understand your Neopet may have other nutritional needs that can’t be met by winged foods alone (though have you seen the Faerie Carrot 2.0? What a fantastic step up from the Faerie Carrot!). Thankfully, Neopia is truly overflowing with selections that will please any hungry pet. For a lot of nutrients in a small package, try a Small Spirulina Smoothie from the Smoothie Shop. Then, stop by Faerie Foods for a Celestial Salad and a Veggie Faerie Burger. After this surge of vitamins and minerals, you and your Neopet will most certainly have your second wind!

     Nothing brightens the day of a Neopet quite like spending time with their beloved Petpet. If your Neopet doesn’t already have a cute and cuddly friend of its own to play with, stop by Faerieland Petpets to find the perfect angelic sidekick. The Air Faeries say you can’t go wrong with the selection there, but they unanimously agreed a Cirrus was an excellent choice. Your Cirrus will love floating along for your day of self-care and may even want to take a break to pick out shapes in the clouds above with you. Want to spice up their appearance a bit? Try a Spring Petpet Paint Brush to give your Cirrus an even more magical (and Air Faerie approved!) look that takes the forecast from partly cloudy to full rainbow!

     There’s something so soothing to the soul about spending time playing! Just as important as food or grooming is what you do to play with your Neopet. The Air Faeries suggest picking up a Cloud Kite at the Toy Shop so your pet can watch it soar! Ask kindly, and you may find an Air Faerie willing to lend her magic to help your kite fly higher than you thought possible! Looking for less excitement and more relaxation? Try the soothing lullaby of a Cloud Aisha Music Box before a nice long nap and cuddle up next to your Cloud Shoyru Plushie.

     Getting creative with their appearance is a fantastic way for your Neopet to unwind, and luckily, there is no shortage of ways to do that in Neopia! While many of the above suggestions focus on inner rest and renewal, updating what’s on the outside can be just as refreshing. So, step away from the Secret Laboratory and let’s do some more intentional styling! From Paint Brushes to Wearable Items, your Neopet can choose a brilliant new look inspired by the Air Faeries to promote self-care from the inside out. After a stunning transformation with a Cloud Paint Brush at the Rainbow Pool, explore endless customisation options with fantastic items like the In the Clouds Body Paint, Faerieland Clouds Foreground, and Air Faerie Eye Shadow for the perfect finishing touch. Feeling extra fancy after your makeover? Enter the Beauty Contest to show off the new look and your Neopet may even take home a trophy!

     Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Air Faeries are experts in grooming items, and if a product has their stamp of approval, you can be sure your Neopet is getting the best of the best. Lather your pet up with Transparent Rose Soap for a fresh, floral scent that is sure to please. Follow up by trimming unruly claws with Disco Nail Clippers and applying a generous coat of Blue Nail Varnish (an Air Faerie’s favourite colour!) for an extra pop. Keep fur extra shiny by running a Green Glittery Brush over any knotted or tangled areas. Finally, for a finishing touch worthy of a faerie, apply a couple of sprays of Lavender Perfume.

     Pro Tip: Keep some of the above Grooming Items on hand in case you encounter an Air Faerie in need and she may reward your Neopet with a stat boost!

     Try even just a couple of these self-care suggestions from the Air Faeries of Neopia, and your day is sure to be a breeze!
