Do you do anything special to treat yourself every now and then?

What I do to reward my self is to buy food that I enjoy when I was younger but I still end up with my intinct to provide for my family even if it's already time to reward myself, so I end up buying family pizza instead of solo or a gallon of ice cream so everyone can get to taste it instead of a cone, I've given up rewarding myself because I always end up wanting to share it with everyone especially my family. The real only reward I buy for myself is for my hobby which is coin collecting hahaha can be quite expensive sometimes so I rarely do it

If I can spare the money, I may buy myself something that I have been wanting for a long time, like a new CD, or some new dancewear, or a book or one of the various accessories, memorabilia items or other do dads that I collect. If I don't feel like spending money, then I may go for a walk through the neighborhood (it's very scenic) and spend the night watching a movie or show. That's about all I can think of. I don't treat myself very often, come to think of it!

Once a week, if I have the time and if the weather is favoracle, I take myself to a nice restaurant where a buffet is served, lunch or dinner. I don't cook meals at home at all. So, it is always very enjoyable to have a nice delicious buffet lunch or dinner once in a while.

Yes and here finances are tight too but once in a while I will get my hair done or buy a new shirt or pair of shoes or jeans or just something small, and here it doesn't happen a lot either but it is nice when we can everyone should do this once in awhile, it is a nice thing.

I usually treat myself to a good manicure and pedicure once in a while with a friend or two. Sometimes I go out of my way to go to places for the day just to make my life a little more interesting. But if not, the usual watching a movie and eating out with a few friends are my thing. I have fun hanging out and just chatting with friends more than buying myself something expensive or what not.

halu Dominique, it is so funny but it;s true,as a mother(full time MUM),it is so hard and happy doing house hold works in my daily routine,but i give also a special treat in my self like treating my kids,i want that every time ,i look cute,neat and smells good,yes i love also my nails with polish and weekly change the colours. when me and my kids strolling,they told us that we look just sister and brothers,(hehe). thanks have a BLESS DAY

I love chocolate but have been staying away for awhile. Not so much because of weight but the fact it highers my blood sugar level. Will buy a candy bar or small bag of chocolate once in awhile and divulge. And it tastes so good.

It depends on my mood but my favorite thing to do is to treat myself to Gelato (Italian ice cream). It is so good and while it has more sugar than regular ice cream the taste is soo much better and creamier. We have a new place not far from me called Il Gelato and its fantastic. If I am not hungry or in one of my rare health kicks I will treat myself to a movie if there is one I want to see. (Thats this weekend - Source Code looks amazing!!!!)

every now and then yes, and i think we all deserve it. i don't splurge all my money on it though, i just do something that i know i can afford..i like getting my nails done and getting foot massage or foot spa. i don't go to an overly expensive parlor though. sometimes i choose to treat myself to a nice meal in a nice restaurant...

after working hard, it always feel great to treat yourself, it does not need to be expensive, what's important is you enjoy what you do. for me, i like to go someplace i'd never been before to relax.

I just responded to a similar discussion. I'm really easy. I just take a couple of hours where I try not to think about anybody else. And all of the responsibilities that I have. Sometimes I would wander in the mall, or take a long drive. Most of the time I end up in burger joint and treat myself with a very big unhealthy burger!

What I do is I spend time alone away from the crowd since they are the ones usually making me feel tired. Or spend the weekends with my family. When I am away from things making me feel tired, I don't feel boxed in with my life. Like someone young, I still hope that I will be able to make changes in those routine like life is long, or like life is short and that hope is still not exhausted. You know, sometimes it seems like we just like work to live. Like me, I work just to earn, I do not dislike work, but I cannot really like many people. So I am just working with them just for the money. I don't know if other workplaces here in my country are the same. But I hate the culture, especially the bad side.
