Pamper Yourself on a Budget

Green times 10
5 Ways to Pamper Yourself Without Breaking The Bank

  • A bottle of nail polish can work wonders.  Pick a fun funky color you wouldn’t normally wear on your fingers and do up your toes.  Flip flop weather is here, so get crazy!
  • No money for meditation at the spa?  Find a local park, take a lunch, take a book, take a walk.
  • Could you’re face use a little lift?  Make a quick, homemade facelift from your kitchen.
  • Budget too tight for the tanning booth?  Try the new breed of tanning lotions.  Unlike the streaky orange mess of years past, brands like Jergens have lotions that you use daily to build slowly to a nice glow.
  • What about this year’s must read beach books?  I go every couple of weeks to a big book store, make a list of all the titles that look fab & log on to request them from my local library network.  I may have to wait a week or two, but it sure beats paying around $15.00 per book.

What are your frugal tips for making yourself feel special?

    Pam – you are so right on! I polished my toenails 2 weeks ago – long lasting polish – and it made me feel SO good immediately. It doesn’t take much – and I need to get my blue polish out for next time! =) Great advice here. Doesn’t break the bank OR require half a day of your time, either!

    Love the book idea!! I love books. I will check them out at the library. If I can’t get them there I go to paperback swap and if they don’t have it I got to half.com! Love my books!

    A deep bubble bath is an occasional relaxing treat for me. That includes candles and a book, of course.

    I always go for a walk when I’m having a tough day. At around 7:30pm it gets nice here in Texas, and it’s very calming to me to be out in the warm weather while the sun is setting. Boy, I love Texas!
