5:2 What do you do to reward yourself?

My fasting days are Monday and Wednesday. I was going to try to put in one non-food treat on one of those days. It's a little tough since I work full-time, but I could probably manage once a week. My idea is to do some nice things for myself on fast days that I don't allow myself on other days. Optimally, they would be relatively inexpensive. Here are some ideas I have so far.

1. Get a mani or pedi at the beauty school

2. Get an eyebrow threading

3. Shop for a kindle book on amazon (instant gratification)

4. Buy something unneeded but fun like bubble bath, sexy undies or a kitchen toy

5. Take that bubble bath by candlelight

6. Linger at Starbucks with a coffee and newspaper

7. Get a 15 min massage at the mall
