Hello beautiful people of Hive, it's great to have you on my blog 🤗🤗 🥳🥳
I have always said that you are the only one of you that God had and that you have therefore, you must see and treat yourself as such.
Adulthood comes witha lot of responsibility and expectations coupled with the fact that we live in a busy, fast-pacing world where not too many people have the time for frivolities.
We cannot even enjoy our own food but rush through it like we were in a relay race; cannot even apply our hair cream with calmness but fight with the hair like it is against us.
Apart from educating yourself whether in school, business or career, taking care of your daily needs, meeting up with numerous tasks, schedules and host of other responsibilities, it is important that you give yourself a nice treat from time to time.
This will go a long way in helping you appreciate yourself better. It would also have a large impact on your self esteem.
It's not about spending so much money but it's about using your available resources to give you a baby girl/boy time.
It could be from having an eat-out, going for a full body massage or spa, having a makeover, a photo shoot session, doing your manicure and pedicure, (and yes, guys need manicure and pedicure as well 😇) going to the park, seeing a movie or just cooking a special dish for yourself! It's really that simple. 😊
About 2 years ago, my elder sister sat me down and spoke with me how it's important that I take myself out and have a really great time. While she spake, I was wondering how I was going to get the money to do all of that. I had a assignments to do, some payments to make in school and others plus I was really busy but somewhere in my mind, I thought to give it a try.
It wasn't until last year that I begun to do these things for myself and trust me, the feeling was out of this world.
I didn't decide to do it just because I felt so but because it would unleash certain joys in me, help me calm my nerves and also bring some great ideas to me. Also because I had begun a Beauty and Lifestyle Business, I needed this to help me see how just good life is to me and be able to spread the positive energy around. 😊
MY LAST ME TIME?
That was last year, just few days to my birthday. I had my nails done, had a makeover and went for a very funny photo shoot session. Funny because the director of photography (as he called himself) kept giving me hilarious picture poses. 😅
Then on my birthday which was just few days after that I went to the Park.
I played like playyeeddd interesting 9D games, climbed towers that I made up my mind not to clim again because of how scary it was, had ice cream and popcorn to my fill, took so many pictures all with the accompaniment of my dearest friend.
This really helped me to unwind.
I had heard about that place several times and even passed by the place in a taxi cab but didn't really know the beauty that lied inside its walls. Now I saw and experienced it.
It also helped me appreciate all the beautiful things that were just scattered around me.. You can be so busy with work that you do not take notice of these things but thank God I did and was ever grateful for it.
To you my beloved readers, learn to appreciate and pamper yourself from time to time while recognising the good things of life around you. You'll become happier and grateful.
Till next time...
