What kinds of things do you.....

[divaindubai]

do to make yourself feel good, treat yourself with, etc??

I just started getting my nails done and I feel good actually, feel like I have presentable fingernails and it makes me feel feminine. I got a pedicure done recently too for the first time, and I feel sexier and more feminine having nice looking feet as well with painted (got them painted a cherry red ) toenails.

I've also gotten more into buying costume jewellery, so I find myself looking for interesting bracelets, earrings, necklaces when I'm out shopping, and will often buy something new, so that I can always wear a piece or two with my clothing each day. It does make me feel feminine as well, so I guess that's a good thing!

I would love to go and get a massage done, that's probably next on my list of "treating" myself. Maybe I wlil make that treat for when I get down to a certain weight.

I love getting manicures/pedicures, but can't afford to get them regularly right now. I think I will do those as treats when I lose a certain amount.
I want a massage/spa day too. DH is planning on giving that to me for my birthday in April. Hopefully that will work out financially.
I like buying new makeup and hair stuff too. The only problem is that I tend to stick in the same range of colors. I'm to chicken to try new ones.
Of course a trip to AC Moore always makes me feel good!

Oooo, the massage would be awesome, although I've never had one. I've had this dream girls weekend (and I can't remember the name of the Inn), it's on Vancouver Island on the coast. The massage room is open to the Pacific ocean and the beautiful Vancouver rocky coastline, it just looks surreal!

But, in reality and thing that I do...pedicures, love them...if you find a good place, it can be a relatively inexpense way to pamper yourself.

Is it near Tofino or Uclelet (sp?)?? I love Vancouver Island. Last time I was there was as a teenager with my parents on vacation.....I still remember how high the waves were on Long Beach, smashing fiercely against the shoreline...wow.....its amazing when you sit near waves, you almsot feel automatically energized!

There is a nice place on the other side of Vancouver Island (the Juan de Fuca part), called Tigh-Na-Mara...I remember my mom has been there a few times, she always raves on about how nice it is!

This is silly, but I LOVE to go to the bookstore, get myself a decaf latte, find a comfy spot on the floor somewhere near the home decor books, and grab a stack of books, and a stack of magazines, and slowly piece together my dream house. It's actually fun do to with a girlfriend.

I've had 2 massages, numerous pedicures, newer, smaller clothes..........It's quite a transmission from rewarding yourself with ice cream to rewarding yourself with a jog at the beach...... I love Atkins!!!!!!!

Re: What kinds of things do you.....

where I get pedicures (once in a blue moon).. they have massage chairs.. the good ones.. and those little pools that massage your feet while they work on the other one....and they manually massage to your knees with this oil stuff....

I don't even REALIZE that my calves are sore until they do it...

BUT... what I really splurge on... is scent... some fragrance I only buy once in a blue moon.. ( my absolute passion is Chanel Coco....)... but I usually end up at Bath and Body works being happy with something from the 50-75 off rack.. (I actually got some GOOD stuff 75 off yesterday)....

Re: What kinds of things do you.....

I plan a pedicure, saving for it. I saw on another board that someone was putting aside money for every pound lost and then having a spending spree at certain point. Like a fat bank! You get to make withdrawals when you are good. She was doing $5 a pound - I cannot afford that but am going to do $5 a kg.

Re: What kinds of things do you.....

Wow.. that's a great idea! I have been trying to decide at what point I would give myself a treat. If I put some money away for each pound lost, I'd be able to do that much easier! Now to decide how much. Can't be much, but anything would help. It would be very motivating to see the jar add up. Thanks for posting that!
