I play a lot of video games???<br /> Sometimes I paint my nails. </p> <p>rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433638 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 18:10:33 +0000 lawbee11 2433638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starbucks every day 🙈 Pedis about once a month. And dinner/drinks with girlfriends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433610 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:51:50 +0000 Boogs 2433610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The occasional Starbucks. Even when I try to do something for me, somehow it gets messed up so it's easier not to bother. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433603 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:46:26 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2433603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bake or colour, sometimes I read. I really need to get better at taking time for myself but I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433602 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:43:10 +0000 gingerbebe 2433602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mani every 3 weeks. Working part time for my sanity. Will be hiring a housecleaner soon.</p> <p>Between my brain tumor, surgery, recovery, back to back difficult pregnancies, and DS1's colicky reflux first year, by the time DS2 is born and settled into a groove (he will be born in May) I will have been an invalid zombie for about 4 years. I am totally out of shape and so is DH from supporting me through all this stuff, so I told him once both boys are in daycare/preschool (so by next April), we are hiring a trainer and getting our selves back together. We've just agreed that with 2 under 2 things are just going to be sh!tshow for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433591 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:29:00 +0000 LindsayLou 2433591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buy ingredients to make my favorite dinners, even if they're not always budget conscious. Not all the time, but it makes a huge difference for me. I stay up late, even if it means I'll be tired. I need that time to myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433578 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:15:32 +0000 twodoghouse 2433578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I've been making a point to sit down and watch the Bachelor when it actually airs! My husband does the dishes while I watch with ice cream or wine or beer, and I usually paint my nails while I watch. That might sound lame compared to massages and real mani/pedis, but it's a luxury for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433577 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:15:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 2433577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little thing: I buy the holiday stuff in the Target dollar aisle every holiday (used to only decorate for Christmas but now I do all holidays.) </p> <p>I do girls nights/dinner with friends every 2 months. </p> <p>Special occasions I get my nails done and in the spring/summer I do pedicures every 6 weeks or so. </p> <p>Right now I splurge by buying stuff to update our house but we are on a tight budget saving for a new home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433565 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:09:11 +0000 youboots 2433565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it's not a luxury- but getting my hair cut a few times a year and lowlights 1-2 times a year. I get a pedi every 6 weeks or so (my Mom usually treats) and a mani when I want one. I get my brows waxed when I need it. Facials at least 1x a quarter. </p> <p>Fancy coffee occasionally. Eating out with friends during the day when DH is at work about once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433563 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:03:59 +0000 IRunForFun 2433563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let myself sleep pretty much as much as I want. I know that'll have to change once we have kids so I'm relishing it now. Going to bed early, sleeping late, naps... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433541 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:53:37 +0000 mrsjazz 2433541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost daily Starbucks (gotta stop because I've gained weight!)</p> <p>Writing group once a month. We drink so much wine and have so much fun...while we critique each other's novels.</p> <p>Unlimited spending supply on books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433534 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:50:11 +0000 Autumnmama79 2433534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mani/pedi every 2 weeks, </p> <p>Massage every month.</p> <p>Starbucks a couple times a week.</p> <p>Bubble bath once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-regularly-do-for-yourself#post-2433519 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:41:11 +0000 Bao 2433519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get manis/pedis? Massages? Starbucks? Buy yourself something? </p> <p>I will occasionally get myself a "fancy" coffee, but that's about it. I really want to start making myself a priority. I know I won't be able to do things a lot, but I think something now and then would be nice! </p> <p>What things do you do for yourself? And how often? </p>
