I don't know if this counts as pampering myself but I like to indulge in makeup. When I hit a goal or need a boast I make an order with my favorite makeup company Everyday Minerals.

My favorite thing to do is to take a hot bubble bath and read a book in the tub. My family has strict orders not to bother me and my alone time.

I have also designated Wednesdays as my ME day. I do the grocery shopping that day but I also stake out discount shops BY MYSELF and spend the day driving around visiting different stores. I don't even have to buy anything I just like to look!

I take some time to read and just curl up on the couch and RELAX!

Nails, tanning, highlights, cute shoes, super cute (but not expensive) clothes that fit and flatter. Makeup, perfume, flowers. Books, inexpensive jewelry. I don't reward myself with food anymore...so I go all out on other stuff. ) On a budget of course.

My splurge is a date night with the husband...like the drive in movie, or to take me to a real movie. Something with him.....it's probably the newlywed on us that hasn't wore off yet

Awww how friggin adorable!!!

I will admit i spoil myself! I do facials twice a month, manis/pedis once a month. Right now I'm holding off on buying a lot of new clothes until I lose another 10lbs. However, I recently bought myself a few new outfits that are very flattering and I think motivate me even further to lose weight (I look and feel great!).

new workout/yoga clothes from lululemon.

a massage.

Okay. Pampering myself the healthy way is what I need to learn. (For too long it's been food and wine!)

Liking these ideas! Any others?

Clothes or a new book or movie. =)

I`ve just started to do my own facials. I used to go to salons periodically but I feel that they do nothing which I cannot replicate at home, so that`s what I do now.

Yesterday, I bought myself four items of clothing, and where 2 were still in my "usual" size, 2 were a size lower. All of them are lovely and not expensive, and I`ll make sure to wear them plenty for the rest of this summer as hopefully they`ll be too small next year! :-)

Wow. This makes me realize I haven't really pampered myself in a while . . .

I take a bath every night & read. I sit down & watch movies or go out for a walk
