Today I splurged with a Mani/pedi just in time for Christmas weekend. Of course, my toes are red for the holiday, but I went with a more natural creamy light pink for my hands for a more professional and simple look. They say to always match your polish on your fingers and toes, but, I'm not walking around in flip-flops on the streets of NYC when it's 35 degrees out.
Two weeks ago I bought a Groupon deal on an hour long massage at a spa in the city. I haven't made my appointment yet, but after the holidays are over, I'll be laying face down for some much needed relaxation.
The next gift I am shopping for myself will be a sexy New Year's Eve dress. Originally I was going to go for a classic gold sequined glitz dress, but I might stand out more in another color. What are your thoughts? I was thinking about blue sequins instead? Let's see what I can find in the stores after Christmas.
Did you forget to buy a gift for yourself this year? I am all for giving gifts to your friends and family, but don't forget to give yourself a gift as well. After all, you may not receive everything you had on your list for Santa, so if there is anything left you're craving, spoil yourself!
A little retail therapy only hurt those with credit cards in their freezers. If you can't afford to spend any extra money on yourself, spend some time to yourself. Take a day off of work, send the kids to their grandparents, put your school books away, sleep in, light candles, give yourself a facial, and take a bath. How often do we actually get to take a bath anymore instead of a shower?
This fast-paced 21st century is so focused on fast food, fast travel, immediate satisfaction, that we forget how enjoyable it can be to do nothing.
Happy holidays! I hope you all get what you wished for Christmas this year and get to spend some quality time with your family and friends eating lots of home cooked food!
Xoxo
