Last "Splurge" On Yourself!

What was the last thing you splurged on that wasn't baby related?  Prenatal massages? Mani Pedi?  Clothes?  A vacation?  What are you treating yourself to?

Re: Last "Splurge" On Yourself!

  • I caved and ordered soem expensive SkinCeuticals products (baby safe) because they have been the only things thats worked for me (so I *guess* it's sort of pregnancy related).  DH bought us a new bed which I am in love with, but I think that doesn't count, since he bought it Wink

  • Vacation to Costa Rica last June!  We had so much fun.  Before the baby gets here, we are thinking of splurging and getting a cleaning crew to come clean our house from top to bottom.  I normally wouldn't pay someone to clean my house, but it sounds very tempting to have someone clean all my windows, baseboards, fans, cabinets, etc.

      SUCH a great idea.  Especially since most of my favorite cleaning products are off-limits right now (I'm a Clorox addict, and the organic stuff just isn't doing it for me!)

  • Pedi and facial!!!

  • I had a facial last weekend (that was fabulous- it was my first ever) and am going in to get a pedi, hair cut, and highlights on Saturday.

    Further down the road, I may consider a prenatal massage or two, and I will probably continue to get pedis, since reaching my toes will be more and more of a struggle.

  • Last weekend we went to Lake Tahoe and did what we wanted with out watching what we were spending the entire time. Also I got a mani and pedi and will continue those. Also I think I will get a message and a facial in the next couple of months.

  • A prenatal massage and a pedicure

  • i've been going for monthly facials (but a lot of that has to do with crazy pregnancy skin), and i get pedi's regularly. but i do that anyway. we're going to maui on sunday, our annual trip! Big Smile

  • My husband and I just pulled the trigger on a vacation to Turks & Caicos yesterday!  Now I cannot wait until May.

  • I just got my hair highlighted - the last time was 4th of July weekend! My last haircut was in October. I was overdue. :)
  • Went to Maui in Feb & have a babymoon planned to Charleston & Savannah in April.

    Somewhat baby related, but I also splurged on a GREAT pair of designer maternity jeans. Needing the help feeling sexy as the pounds add up!

  • I just bought a new computer, though I saved my pennies for months to buy it.  We also bought tickets to a concert in June (Ray LaMontagne and Brandi Carlile).  We can't afford a babymoon, so we are thinking of the concert as our splurge, though I realize how pitiful that sounds.

  • The biggest one recently is tickets to Miami for a girls' weekend away at the beginning of April with my best friends from college and high school.  We do these once a year because everyone lives really far from each other, and I really wanted to go on one more before baby comes...

  • I haven't done mine yet-next week I'll be out of town for business so I'm planning a massage at the spa in the hotel.  I've left the babymoon up to my hubby.  We had a vacation planned to Saba/St. Barth in May but we cancelled.  No point in going to Saba if I can't dive and the thought of being big pregnant in St. Barth and unable to enjoy wine and espresso is a little depressing.  Instead we're doing that trip for my birthday next April and we will stay stateside for the trip this year.

  • I'm getting regular pedis this summer, since I won't be able to comfortably do it myself and I'm sure my feet will be the size of watermelons. Otherwise, I'm planning to splurge on TurboFire before baby is here so that I have something new & fun to do to get me back in shape when I'm stuck inside next winter!
  • Our big splurge will be HOPEFULLY on a mini-babymoon and we are def. getting new furniture for our living room, which I am SOOOO very excited for!  Can wait to get a nice comfy reclining rocker for baby and I to rock in!
  • I splurged on the monthy prenatal massage package at Massage Envy.  I'll get a 1 hour massage once a month for the next six months. I kinda consider that baby-related though, so....

    I got a manicure last week and plan to get my hair cut and highlighted this weekend, along with my first pedi this year. So excited!

  • I don't really remember... But I think the last real purchase I made for myself was a bra from victoria's secret because I had lost weight and volume up top, but pretty much as soon as I peed on the stick it stopped fitting, I'm hoping I can wear it again one day... Sad
