In order to flourish, you have to nourish yourself! Here are 100 Ways to treat yourself:
[1] Make a huge pitcher of hot or cold water (the hot water kettle is a great investment!). Slice up fresh citrus and your favorite tea, drink the whole entire pitcher to get glowing skin and feel a little detoxed.
[2] Download a book on Audible. When I’m in a bad mood, I live for a good audible biography.
[3] Buy yourself the most indulgent coffee drink at your favorite shop (calories are ignored here!)
[4] Three words: Heated. Jade. Mat. I did a post on this miraculous thing last year and I’ll say it again. Most used item ever. For PMDD, for aches/pains or just to unwind. I cannot say enough about this product.
[5] Use essential oils while you listen to your Audible book. Synergy Blends from Edwin’s Garden are wonderful. If you hesitate to use essential oils, they’re not what you’d expect. They are crisp, refreshing and perfect for spring cleaning.
