The shortest month of the year and the ‘loneliest’ month for singles (which is most people’s relationship status btw) is the PERFECT time to prioritize self-care purchases and excursions! Why? Your budget may not survive a longer month and you’ll realize how awesome it is to be pampered. Here are five ways to get started:
1.) Go out on the town- in the day. Not all perfect days happen under the moonlight. Venture out for a nice massage, nail appointment, hair blowout, or facial.
2.) Let’s get physical. Spend that $30 on that barre, aerial yoga, trampoline, or rock climbing class. These give you energy surges that boost your endorphin level. So basically, fun + sweat = more fun.
3.) Allow yourself to splurge on something you can use everyday (slippers, perfume, a quality face moisturizer, or leggings).
4.) Get yourself in the spirit with fresh flowers- yes, buy them for yourself.
5.) If you have ANY money left over by now, then go ahead and taste your way to heaven with an assorted box of macaroons (or cake, or chocolate, or ice cream).
This time is like your birthday month without the ‘thank you’ cards. You deserve this!
