Do you treat yourself?

[seadoug]

And if so, how?

A treat for me could be something as simple as a lunch out, a new streaming series or a movie. A big treat would be attending a play or concert. A huge treat would be traveling somewhere. I also like to have something to look forward to so very rarely are my plans random.

So what do you do to treat yourself?

A nice portion of dark chocolate after lunch and supper.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Eat ice cream or gelato straight outta the carton. There's nobody else here but me so why not? And I don't have a bowl to wash when I'm done.

I love a strong coffee each morning. Many nights I'll wake up at 2am or 3am and drive to my nearest 24 hour Tim Horton's. It's peaceful with no one on the road. My every now and then small treat to myself.

 

[Lawrence00]

Professional deep tissue massage. It's some kind of magic. Too expensive for me currently though.

 

[Oldeagle66]

A few times a year and usually nothing big. A big hearty meal at my favorite local diner or buying a good book from thriftbooks I have already owned and read before.

I like to make my meals attractive. If they lack color I might slice a plum tomato or add some pesto or a pickle. Then I use my favorite dishes. I might pick up a new one from Food Network or the dollar store. The shape is as important as the color. A flower in a tiny vase or a cobalt blue napkin helps. I guess I'm desperate!

I like to treat myself to ice cream when it's wicked hot outside which it is now. I also like to treat myself to take out on occasion (mainly pizza). But most of all I like to buy myself presents for my birthday and christmas because I have no one to do that for me anymore.

i often buy a Starbucks mocha iced coffee. it's expensive, but i am worth it.

Me too!

CHOCOLATE!!!

 

[Rossana]

I'll cook a fancy meal at home. I also enjoy a good movie and a piece of chocolate!
As I age, my skin is becoming quite delicate so I am enjoying buying body creams, face moisturizers, and lip balms!
I never was much into make up or perfumes, but I like the creams!

 

[Tish]

Whatever takes my fancy and is mt budget.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

It's been a long time. It used to be a movie, but the theater I liked closed, or an occasional trip to Dallas to revisit malls; other places I used to go. I'm not used to the traffic there anymore, so I haven't been in awhile. I need to find something new to do, so thanks for the reminder.

 

[Veronica]

I had to think about that one.
Theres just me so I usually just buy what I want when I want.

I guess I have been treating myself by hiring out some things
that I used to do myself like cleaning out the garage gutters.

@MACKTEXAS Thanks for the reminder. I need to find something new too.

 

[GoodEnuff]

A very occasional ice cream and/or pizza. About every six to nine months.

A real treat is finishing a project on this house.

 

[Timewise 60+]

I treat my wife and then she treats me...that's how I treat myself. Visa. Versa works also...

 

[Deya]

Pedicures and hot rock leg massages.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

One of the least expensive ways of pampering myself is with a pedicure. I had one last week.

 

[Jackie23]

Yes, eating out is always a treat also pedicures

 

[dusty]

I treat myself by not saying no anymore, to myself. I recently bought an antique (1790) spnning wheel that works,,, and now I am putting together a new wheel for daiy spinning...Can't wait to get some wool out.

 

[Ruthanne]

The only thing I have been treating myself to is good food. I don't go out other than for groceries.

Not at all; I think that sounds lovely, @Babs2u.

 

[Pappy]

Hersheys kisses. Those foil wrapped delicious little fat producing candies.

 

[KSav]

I treat myself similarly to the way you do, @seadoug. I usually opt for a book, but I also sometimes treat myself to streaming a series or movie, or to a meal out with friends or one of my daughters. I enjoy small treats as well, such as getting a mocha with whipped cream when I meet my friends for coffee instead of my usual black coffee. Unfortunately, there are virtually no opportunities here for things like concerts or plays.

I've been saving up to treat myself to a trip, but with the state of my current budget that may take awhile. Still, one can dream.

I'm actually a very big believer in treating oneself.
