Thanks to Le Jardin Infini for gifting me these preserved roses. As always, I only accept gifts I would purchase myself and opinions are my own.
Each year my goal is to treat myself and to start making myself a priority because there is only one me. As someone who loves to be productive 99% of the time (any other Type 1 enneagrams out there?!), allowing myself this time on a regular basis can be hard.
I think we as women try to be so many things to so many people, and I am definitely guilty of this. We want to be good wives, mothers, daughters, friends, great at our career and have an organized and clean home that we forget to take care of ourselves in the process. If you resonate with this then this is the blog post for you.
I am sharing 3 easy ways you can treat yourself and say I deserve it – because you do!
3 Easy Ways to Treat Yourself
Preserved Flowers
I am a firm believer that flowers make a big difference in your home and your mood. It’s not just about having something pretty to look at, although that it is great, it goes back to that primal need of bringing the outdoors in. If you don’t want to have to pick up fresh flowers weekly or you don’t exactly have a green thumb consider purchasing preserved flowers.
These preserved flowers come ready to display in your home right out of the box and can last up to a year. Yes, you read that right! A year without needing to water them, which is great for anyone who loves flowers but wants something incredibly low-maintenance.
If you are a flower lover like myself, there is no better way to treat yourself than with preserved roses. You can use my code INFLUENCER30 for 30% off your Le Jardin Infini order. I currently have my preserved flowers sitting on my dresser and they are the first thing I look at when I walk into my bedroom.
Facials
As a self-proclaimed skincare addict and lover of all things beauty, I can’t believe I didn’t start getting regular facials until I was 25. A few years in I can tell you that they are 100% worth it as I’ve noticed more long-term results from getting facials than I did from visiting the dermatologist.
If you’re new to facials, check out my previous blog post where I share my thoughts after I got my first facial and helpful tips so you can focus on relaxing during your appointment. Facials are not only a great way to treat yourself but are also a great investment in your skin. I put my phone on airplane mode and try to fully soak up the hour of pampering.
At my med spa, they even give a quick neck and shoulder massage during your treatment. For all of my Dallas ladies, I get my facials done at Eleven Wellness.
Get Dressed Up
I am no stranger to a relaxing night in sans bra and watching my favorite shows. However, sometimes it’s just nice to get dressed up and treat yourself to a nice dinner. Order that glass of bubbly and put on a spectacular dress. My favorite place to rent special items is Rent The Runway – a site where you can rent designer clothes for a fraction of the cost. No need to take care of dry-cleaning because they do that for you free of charge.
For your night on the town, head to your favorite restaurant or try that new place you’ve been dying to visit. Whenever I see an interesting restaurant on Instagram I screenshot and put in a specific restaurant folder on my phone for occasions just like this.
Making a typical night something special is an easy way to treat yourself.

Thank you so much! It is so great to have real flowers that you won’t have to do anything to xoxo
You are so right, we tend to always leave ourselves on the backburner. We have so many shoes to fill that we don’t usually make time just for us. I love making a mission to treat yourself!
I’ve always wanted to try preserved flowers! Those roses are gorgeous!!

Thank you so much! Apparently, if you dust them every so often they may even last longer than a year xoxo
Cristina, I so need to implement these more often in my life. I especially liked how you included getting dressed up and treating yourself out! For me, I get so caught up bumming it out because I’m so exhausted from school/work, but sometimes putting on make-up and getting dolled up is exactly what I need on the weekends to lift me up. Great post!!!
