Ugh, here we go. It's Treat Yo'self 2k24!

All jokes aside, it's been a long time coming that I need to integrate self-care into my life somehow. One of the things that hindered me from doing so, aside from no time and not feeling "worth it," is strictly monetary. I'd rather what little extra I have go towards Ava, school, or saving for a house. So I just don't justify spending money on myself for recreation or wellness experiences.

In this next year, under heavy persuasion and borderline doctor's orders, I am committing to doing something for myself at least 12 times in this next year. I am budgeting $100/month for a total of a $1,200.00 "goal" so I have no excuses. My tentative list of activities includes things like pottery painting, stretch lab, getting back on a gym membership, skincare/facial treatments, etc.

If you'd like to make a $5 or $10 birthday gift towards these ideas, here's how. (Alternatively, I did also put specific experiences on my mandated gifting wishlist. e.g. - float spa, a massage, IV therapy, etc. Link pinned on my Fb.)

You don't have to, but thanks if you do!
