12 Feb Treat Yourself this Valentine’s Day!
The beginning of every new year is filled with promises, resolutions, and habit-breaking initiatives. We change our food intake, exercise routines, and maybe even consider “financial diets” to save money. Come February 14, our resolve is tested with the sweetest holiday of the year.
But when it comes to discipline and gluttony, sometimes we take a cue from the popular sitcom “Parks and Recreation,” where two key characters set off on an annual day of pampering and no-holds-barred self-care. Chocolate éclair for breakfast? Treat yourself! Paraffin wax pedicure? Treat yourself!
This Valentine’s Day, forget the romance and consider taking time just for YOU. Here are some options for an ultimate day, afternoon, or even just an hour of self-care:
- Book an hour-long massage at your favorite spa, like River Falls or Massage Envy.
- Enjoy a wine tasting: It doesn’t have to be fancy; even places like Total Wine have in-store complimentary tastings to enjoy while you shop!
- Schedule grocery delivery through Shipt, and shop for a new outfit during that hour instead.
- Buy yourself a new book at an actual bookstore.
- Take a long, indulgent nap.
- Not a reader? Catch a matinee movie all by yourself.
- Make the office fun: Take a midday work break and indulge in a sweet treat from Buttercream Bakehouse or Rocky Moose.
- Have an early night, just because. Put off your chores, and get in bed with a good book or movie.
However you celebrate this Valentine’s Day, we hope you leave time for a little self-love, too. After all, you deserve it.
