I'm glad you did!<br /> @Ms. Fairy Wings: It does!<br /> @stargal: Thanks. I am totally guilty of forgetting that. I have even spent my gifted money on DH instead of me but this time I decided to shop! (And I lucked out that the shoes were on sale the day I went in so I got comfy shoes that look good with a dress or a suit--with money left over for crafts,) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-joys-of-being-selfish#post-295695 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:51:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 295695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man I got birthday money this year (I was 24w pregnant) and I used it on a baby Bjorne. Now I wish I had gotten my hair done or something instead. Oh well-love my BBJ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-joys-of-being-selfish#post-295686 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:47:22 +0000 ladyfingers 295686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have LO here yet, but I feel bad spending money on myself because we are trying to sock away a lot in savings. But I went and bought myself some makeup at MAC today. I've been feeling really bad about my skin lately so that gave me a nice little boost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-joys-of-being-selfish#post-295664 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:38:05 +0000 stargal 295664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good to treat yourself, remember being a mom is hard work and you deserve to spend some money on yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-joys-of-being-selfish#post-295654 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:35:17 +0000 LAGS 295654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! I do the same with gifted $, I need to do that too sometime.</p> <p>This morning I went shopping and left LO home with Dad. I had intentions to treat myself a bit, but didn't really find much, I did take my sweet time though and I did have fun getting stuff for LO and my soon to be born niece/nephew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-joys-of-being-selfish#post-295636 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:24:42 +0000 Ms. Fairy Wings 295636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, I love that you're so happy about your new purchases! It's so good to remember to be a little selfish - it for sure helps us to be more given in all the other facets of our lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-joys-of-being-selfish#post-295622 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:11:15 +0000 pastemoo 295622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL gave me money for my birthday. I usually hate getting money because I just put it in savings or it goes to groceries... but this year I decided to actually spend it on ME. Well, me and the baby (she gave me $50 in birthday money with $15 for the baby).</p> <p>And I got a pair of shoes, a Baltic amber teething necklace for the baby, a pattern book for crocheted animals, some crochet hooks and some yarn. </p> <p>I am SO EXCITED!<br /> LO can tell and so can DH. My selfish act affect the whole family in a good way. I am so happy!</p> <p>What little selfish thing have you done for yourself lately?</p> <p>(I put this in "your health" because it seems like a good mental health category but I can re-categorize it) </p>
