In honor of Mother's Day, here are 32 fun ways to treat yourself that won't break the bank or take too much time, so you can feel spoiled all year long.
Time to indulge
You may not get a whole day at the spa, but you can learn to take advantage of those brief but blessed windows of freedom when the baby naps or spends time with Dad.
Little Luxuries
Just because we're all watching our pennies doesn't mean we can't feel like millionaires. Here are our favorite on-the-cheap treats:
If you have $5...
Buy a refreshing fruit smoothie; a paperback romance novel; a fancy bakery cupcake with sprinkles; a gossip magazine; a yummy-smelling, flirty lip gloss.
If you have $10...
Go to a movie (bring your own snacks).
Download ten new songs on iTunes and dance to them for half an hour.
Pick up a luxe bottle of nail polish and give yourself a quick mani.
If you have $20...
Splurge on a completely unnecessary -- but really cute -- accessory.
Grab a novel at your local book-store (we love Janice Y.K. Lee's The Piano Teacher) and head to the coffee shop!
