Sometimes us ladies are guilty of not putting ourselves first.
Like when we happily buy our partner a $300 watch for his birthday but can’t bring ourselves to buy the $50 top we love.
Or when we splurge on our kids and buy them designer brands but won’t go and buy the new work clothes we REALLY need.
Why do we do that?
Well, I’m calling it. This has to stop.
We have to start putting ourselves first.
I made this decision and started to think how I could put myself first every now and then. How could I treat myself? I didn’t want to go overboard, but I thought a once a month treat would be perfect. Once a month, that’s doable, right? Yes, it IS doable. I told myself I was not allowed to be a negative Nancy and I had to insist on putting myself first. And neither are you!
Once a month is doable, realistic and not over the top.
We deserve a once a month treat.
So then I started to think. What could I do once a month that is a treat to myself but not crazy expensive, extravagant or time consuming? This was going to be tough…
I considered a massage…mmmm, $100+ is probably a bit much. What about nails? Again, about $70 and needs fortnightly refills. Not really worth it and I really don’t have the time.
