7 Ways To Treat Yo' Self This Summer

In This Article:

Whenever life is getting too crazy, sometimes the only thing you can do is to treat yo' self. A phenomenon that began with the show "Parks and Rec," in which characters Tom and Donna carelessly spend their money on their own pleasure and amusement.

Some people may think it's reckless, but a day of treating yourself does not have to be at the lengths that Tom and Donna take it because there many things that you can do to pamper yourself without the recklessness.

Go Shopping 

By going shopping with either yourself or with friends, you can buy an outfit that you never had the confidence to do so before or buy something that you always wanted to but never did.

Skin care

Taking care of your skin is very important but often neglected, so if you're feeling stressed you can do an either at home spa day for yourself or go to an actual spa.

Do something you've always wanted to do 

If you've been scared to do something for a while, or just haven't had the time, when you have the spare time, use it to try something new!

Clean

Cleaning can be very therapeutic in my opinion. Seeing a mess pile up over time and finally cleaning it all up and having a neat, organized space always feels calming.

Take a bath

Light some candles, turn on some music, and just relax in a nice, hot, bath.

Cook

Try to cook something new or one of your favorite recipes!

Go for a walk by yourself 

Sometimes to treat yourself, you need to just take a short walk by yourself to clear your head and to get some alone time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
