If you’ve never seen the hit sitcom Parks and Rec, it’s possible you’ve never heard the term “Treat yo’ self” and the philosophy behind it. It’s so much more than a daily motto. According to the characters on the show, they set aside one day of the year, namely October 13th, when nothing is off the table. In the words of Ariana Grande: they see it, they like it, they want it, they got it.
And it’s not a bad philosophy. One day a year when you can focus on you, and perhaps splurge on that one thing you’ve wanted. The hardest part might just be holding out until October.
So, if you like the idea of a day to treat yourself, perhaps a birthday or you just need a break, take a look at our ideas for Treat Yo’ Self Day.
The spa experience
Your spa experience can be that hotel that you drive past and lovingly stare at during the commute to work. Imagine the massages they give. You could come out of there feeling lighter than air, all your troubles rubbed out of you.
Or you could do the at-home spa experience. With a few small accessories you can upgrade bathtime to an at-home spa. The first step is to kick any roommates, kids, and partners out the door for a fully relaxing experience, then get a hold of some removable jets, to get the bubbles going. You can also set the mood with waterproof LED lights that can be placed under the water for a fun light show. And for music, you can find waterproof speakers that will hook up to your phone via Bluetooth. Find your favourite handpan drums playlist on Spotify and you’re ready to go.
Hire a cleaner
The hubby doesn’t count here. He should be doing just as much. But looking after a home can feel like a full time job. The bigger the house, the more area to cover: so easy to dirty but so hard to clean.
Why don’t you treat yourself to a break from all that? Hire a cleaning service like Brampton Cleaning Services and give your home the deep clean it deserves. A cleaning service is going to get into all those nooks and crannies, without the “That’ll do” attitude that one person (or even two) inevitably ends up with when they are trying to cover an entire building.
Give the upholstery, or even the carpet new life, or get that scum off the bathroom that stops it from looking like a showroom and have peace of mind while you sit with your feet up for a weekend.
That thing you’ve been thinking about forever…
You know what we’re talking about. There is something you’ve not bought because you can’t justify the buy. Maybe it’s too much money to only be for yourself. Maybe you’re just not in the habit of treating yourself. Maybe everything else has taken priority.
Do it. Treat yo’ self.
