Treating yourself out for a vacation doesn’t have to cost that much, be far away, and take long days, a short yet meaningful and relaxing day trip will do just right.
Get Yourself Pampered
When was the last time you treated yourself to a relaxing day at a spa or a rejuvenating facial? With all the stress you experience at work or in your personal life, don’t deprive yourself of a much-deserved pampering once in a while.

Give Back
There’s nothing more rewarding than sharing your blessings and seeing how much your generosity means to other people. Whether it’s taking your family or a friend out for lunch or going as big as donating a sum for a charity, volunteering, or conducting a feeding project, this act of giving back to others is guaranteed to make you feel like you’ve done something amazing.

Go On A Controlled Retail Therapy
Though you have a reasonable excuse to finally buy that designer bag or sneakers you’ve been eyeing on for so long, it’s not an excuse to make impulsive purchases. Keep in mind that though you’re rewarding yourself to buy what you want, you also have to control your spending so as to not go overboard and put yourself in an unhealthy financial situation.
The best way to not overspend is to set a budget for your retail therapy treat. It’s best advised that you opt to bring cash instead of credit card to physically keep track of your spending. You’ve earned this reward but don’t let it blow up on you. Stay in control.
Upgrade Your Smartphone
It’s the season of giving and one of the many material presents you can reward yourself with is a new smartphone. Whether you’re currently holding onto your iPhone 6 or planning to switch to one, the iPhone X is arguably the sleekest and fantastic smartphone in the market. It’s a total eye candy. Yes, it comes with quite a denting price tag but if you can afford it and you really want it, go on and make that purchase.
Go On A Movie Marathon
