Pampering Part Two

“Treat Yo’ Self”

For all you fellow Parks and Recreation fans, you probably read that in the voice of Donna or Tom. And if you have no idea what I’m talking about… YOU ARE MISSING OUT (but don’t worry, you can purchase the complete series from Best Buy and dive into the hysterical world of Leslie Knope).

Donna and Tom go all out on Treat Yo’ Self Day every October 13 and say yes to every desire and self-pampering opportunity. I think everyone should live by this motto and treat themselves whenever they feel they deserve it – within reason of course.

My job in the Air Force is pretty physical, and at the end of a duty day I often find myself sore and tired. In addition to the facial products in my Necessary Pampering blog post (#5 on my list), I know I’ll eventually be itching for a massage while I’m deployed.

Donna and Tom mentioned massages in their lengthy list of what they treat themselves to, and I definitely need to add this to my own ‘Gotta Have It’ list as well! Best Buy sells a variety of small massagers that could easily fit in a suitcase. From neck and shoulder to dual-head handheld massagers, there are lots of devices to choose from.

While deployed, I’m going to treat every day as Treat Yo’ Self Day, and you should as well!
