When was the last time you did something special for yourself? With busy work schedules and family obligations, forgetting self-care is easy. Fortunately, doing something special that makes you feel good doesn’t have to be costly. Here are four inexpensive and gratifying ways to spoil yourself today.

1. Schedule a Pedicure

One of the most satisfying ways to indulge yourself is by scheduling a pedicure. Pedicures look fantastic, and they last for weeks. It’s also a treat to have someone else paint your toenails, and you get the bonus of a foot massage! Plus, a pedicure makes you feel good whenever you see your toes.

2. Buy Your Favorite Perfume

Another inexpensive way to feel wonderful is by purchasing your favorite perfume or a brand-new scent altogether. Perfumes can be soothing, energizing, sensual or bring back a special memory. Buying a perfume through a retailer like FragranceX will give you a huge boost of self-confidence without spending a lot.

3. Get a New Haircut

If you want to feel completely pampered, make an appointment with your hairstylist. Nothing is more relaxing than having your hair washed with luxurious products followed by a blow-out or a keratin treatment. Opting for a new style or color also makes you feel fantastic and gets you out of your everyday routine.

4. Enjoy a Decadent Dessert

While it may not fit your diet plan, one sure way to put a smile on your face is to eat a decadent dessert. Think cheesecake, tiramisu, creme brulee or even warm apple pie with ice cream. Pair that with your favorite coffee drink, and maybe a friend, and you’ll be spoiled rotten for the day.

Treating yourself extra well is what makes life fun. Whether you’re up for a pedicure, perfume or pastry, you’ll be ready to tackle your day a little happier than before.
