Love is in the Air and a Winner


Love Is In The Air

Saipua

 I thought I would share some of the images I came across while looking through several Etsy Shops where you truly can find anything your heart desires

Life's Treasures can be Large or Small; the important thing is that they are meaningful

 If you are going through a rough patch at this time, LOVE yourself even more

Treat yourself to something at least once a week. I had read this somewhere and mentioned it to my Sister in Law who was  challenging Breast Cancer


JanJat

 Your treat needs to be something cheering. A bottle of nail polish in a color you haven't worn before. A fuchsia sweater. A candle in your favorite scent. A book by your favorite author.

You can go to a movie you have wanted to see; with a friend or even on your own!

Being good to yourself can be free! Go for a walk, even if you are all bundled up against the cold! Visit an Art Gallery or Museum.

Yes, lots of eye candy and inspiration. I think, as busy women, we so often forget to treat ourselves and you're right, it can be just a little thing.

These are wonderful items too and yes it is so good to indulge every once in a while, even if it is a good laugh.
