Have a long soak in the tub.
An hour to yourself to craft/read/relax while DH deals with any and all demands from your kids.
A trip to the library or bookstore alone to browse, even if you buy nothing.
Use your good dishes and light candles for supper, even if you are eating regular everyday food.
Splurge on an inexpensive $10 bouquet of flowers for yourself.
A nice glass of wine/special coffee/decadent hot chocolate you keep just for your celebrate day.
Go donate blood and celebrate that you have the power to save someone else.
Wear the perfume you don't usually wear very often or the necklace you only wear on special days.

If you're a makeup person- buy an expensive lipstick. I'm talkin at the makeup counter at a department store.
Not a lipstick person- treat yourself to a nice eyeshadow or mascara.
Not a makeup person- Treat yourself to some nice moisturizer.

Go to the department store and have the make- up counter ladies do a mini makeover
Go to the florist and pick out a single beautiful flower and enjoy it until it fades.
Take a walk in a park you have never been to today.
Go to a museum and walk around as long as you like.
Dig out your old "music" --- listen to some music you haven't listened to in a while,oldies from the soundtrack to your life and let it transport you back to a different time and place
-organize and clean-up your IPOD, make-up drawer
- start a journal

I love the fact of blood donation! I wouldn't be here if someone...people I didn't even know...hadn't donated blood on my behalf. Alas, I cannot donate, as I have had hepatitis, but I would in a heart beat if I could. My two oldest kids do whenever they can, too. DS2 has had mono, and can never donate. What a gift of love that is, Canadian Jingles!!
This thread is brilliant! this will be a GREAT resource for us!
Let's see.... how about telephoning a friend who always leaves you feeling good whenever you talk to her!
If there is something at the grocery store that you don't buy.. because you're the only one who likes it, go buy that item and enjoy it!
Forget all the million things that usually keep you up much too late at night.... and go to bed really early! You can go to bed to read... and fall asleep as soon as it pleases you!

Sparklenana I like the idea of phoning a friend. How about writing a letter to a friend? with nice paper & why not add some perfume to it??
Use that day as a reminder to do your monthly self exam. Self exams can sometimes lead to early detection of lumps. What a better way to celebrate yourself than be proactive in your health.
Okay now, do not laugh..I am very serious about this. If you really want to do something to make yourself feel good, it doesn't matter your age or size this really works.
Get rid of your ragged old underwear and go buy yourself some pretty sexy undies! You will not believe how something so simple can improve your self esteem and confidence. Feeling pretty underneath makes you feel pretty on the outside. Someone made me try this years ago and it made an amazing difference to me.

Belles- I agree with you on this! Before my surgery I did this- mostly because I didn't want the doctors and hospital staff seeing my ratty undies. And, it DOES make you feel so much better about yourself! I'm going to get MORE!

great idea. I have an assortment of undies b/c I get those great free underware coupons from Victoria Secret. I might not buy some of them normally but a great excuse to buy something out of the norm.
I like to go to the bookstore or library (without kids) and browse through magazines that I would never buy! Sometimes you find the greatest ideas!

Make flavored ice tea and sip it while sitting under a BIG shade tree or on the pation with a book.

take some extra time under the shower.. not only shower and hop out..
perhaps light a scented candle, use a lovely body scrub you only use at these special days and spoil yourself with a lovely body cream and drink your coffee in your bathrobe afterwards
allow yourself to take it 1 1/2 hours... at least with no rush...
HEAVEN..
