Treat Yo'Self

I often treat myself by swap bot, watching The Simpsons, ordering my favorite food (now usually chick fil a or chipotle), spending time with my best friend/roommate, and doing other pen pal related activities!

I like to treat myself by a variety of things. Journaling is my 1# go to. I have a bazillion journaling items for my chunky journal. I love adorable birdies and cats...stuff like that. I also like to collect magazines to later cut them out for pictures I find aesthetic. It's very relaxing and pleasing!

I love electronic swaps !! I treat myself by eating fruit. Like seriously; strawberries, banana's, kiwi...I also LOOOVE vegan cheez! I cant eat dairy so vegan alternative's are such a life changer. I'll snack on it all day !!!

It’s a real treat to have alone time for me! Solitude for this mom is like a peaceful paradise island! So, when I can, I like to escape from the dutifully chores and take a walk on the beach seashell hunting. Sometimes, I buy a slice of cheese pizza and enjoy it as I sit there in the sand and listen to the waves crash into the sandy shore. It just reminds me how big and vast the world is - and allows me to feel free for a moment’s time! 😌

I work a hectic job with long hours, and sometimes urgent tasks spill into the weekend. I treat myself by leaving the work laptop shut ALL weekend, and curling up in bed with a good documentary and a knitting project :)

Between work and the kids I cherish me time a lot! It doesn't seem to come by as much as I would like though. My family always says one day you will have so much free time, you'll miss this. I love to treat myself to some smokes a MNT DEW and some dramas, or a hot bath, painting rocks, pen paling, knit, color/Diamond color or going to the mall and getting a back rub(15 mins is 15$). anyway to pamper myself is nice. Most nights I find myself at home with my baby watching a cartoon an I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I indulge in chocolate sweets and getting my nails done. I love having freshly done, long, glittery nails :D Also, relaxing in my chair with a cup of hot tea/wine and some reality TV drama haha.

I believe 'Treat Yo Self Day' should be everyday! So, on a daily basis, I will have one sweet treat like a cupcake or piece of chocolate. In the spirit of Tom and Donna I do go big on vacation. This Spring, I will go to London and Paris for 2 weeks and then this Summer go to Cape Cod for 1 week to celebrate my birthday. And, yes, I will treat myself all along the way!!! Check out:

I don't get a lot of free time, but when I do, there are many ways I like to treat myself! I play video games, read, draw, make music, work on my own personal projects, or write postcards. Sometimes, I treat myself by just doing nothing for an hour or two! It's even better when I get to relax with my partner, and we basically just lie in bed and do nothing with each other. It's a very simple thing, but I love every second!

This year is full of stressful situations for me and the only way to reduce this stress a bit are some long and hot baths that I really love. It's the time just for me, I watch my favorite series, put face mask on, use a bath bomb, and just pour some hot water inside the tub. How relaxing is that! Always when I pass an exam I decide to reward myself. I buy some stationary as it's something I really enjoy. Oh, snail mailing is a way to treat myself too! Decorating and putting together swap/pen pal letter into one lovely piece makes me really relieved and satisfied. It's my way to make myself feel better. Couldn't forget about the naps! Naps are my love, naps have always helped me ^^

I am an electrical apprentice, and often am very sore and tired at the end of the day. I like to drink a glass of wine, sit in a comfy chair and put my feet up for a while. Sometimes I'll scroll through my phone or read on my Kindle. On weekends I like to do mud masks followed by a hot shower and skincare regime. It helps keep me feeling feminine after spending all week around construction workers.

Ways I treat myself is booking a massage or a facial, ordering my favorite food .. sushi!! Every time I eat sushi, it makes me happy!

Pedicures. I love having my feet played with, like borderline fetish. So being washed, rubbed, massaged, pumiced, lotioned, and painted is heaven. I can nearly fall asleep while having one done. I have a favorite spa I go to and they treat my pidgies so good!

Our life was pretty hectic over the last year with my hubby's Dr. appointments and cancer treatments and 5 hospital stays. I have started this year just taking time to sit back and watch an entire movie or binge watch a show I've been missing. It has been a real treat. Sometimes I treat myself with music. I love music so I'll load up several Cd's and enjoy. Another real treat is to just get alone and work on my quilting. I quilt with a group weekly but sometimes I need alone time. I'm also working on getting up before my hubby each morning and having a quiet time. Just spending time in the Word and Bible study without interruption is so sweet.

I often have a hard time treating myself . It is easier for me to treat others than myself. I like the simple treats of reading a book in peace, walking along a beach and listening to the ocean crashing onto the shore. Watching old movies from the 1940s to the 1970's . My treat day is Friday as I work 4 days 10 hours and so by Friday it is a treat for me to sleep and relax all day, sitting in the sun on the balcony without any one calling my name.
