do something nice for myself at least once a week

I haven’t had my nails done (by someone else) in years and years. I’m going to go get this done for myself this weekend. Things are hard right now, I really need some pampering.

I try to do this several times a week. It makes me feel better, brighter.

This is such a stereotypical girl thing, but when I’m feeling down – shoes help. Boots REALLY help. They’re my favorite wardrobe item, and I own far too many pairs already. It’s okay this time, because these are a replacement for my favorite pair, which are really beat up.

I bought a diffuser and an aromatherapy starter kit. I’m into it.

I’ve been trying to keep my nails done to make myself feel a little more put together.

Once in awhile sugar is okay, and much needed. After the week I’ve had…well let’s just say I’ve earned it. I treated myself to some Ben & Jerry’s Mint Chocolate Cookie. I like to go all out and buy a package of Oreos along with this to mix in MORE cookie goodness. Now I feel fat. And happy. And sugar-high. Wheeeeeeeeeee.

I ordered a bunch of bath stuff from Lush for myself this week. A bubble or fizzy bath is a very nice thing for me, indeed. I’m getting into a bit of a bath and beauty product frenzy these days. Don’t know where that is coming from exactly. I’m sure there are worse addictions out there.

This service is very similar to Birchbox – you subscribe and are sent a box full of beauty product samples each month. I bought myself a subscription and am enjoying it so much that I’m considered getting myself a Birchbox subscription too! Maybe for next week’s nice thing…

I’m currently giving myself a facial and a pedicure with some of the products. Very nice.

This week, I bought all new underthings for myself. There’s nothing quite like knowing that you look good UNDER your clothes!

Needing this right now. Especially right now. Here are some ideas for later:

- get a massage
- get a manicure and/or pedicure
- go to a salon for a haircut instead of doing it myself
- get a colonic
- buy myself new clothes, accessories, etc.
- get a facial
- take a bubble bath
- buy myself flowers
- take myself out to lunch

Will add more later…
