I have been feeling CRAZY since surgery. Okay, maybe crazy is a poor choice of word. More like restless. I've been craving change and adventure. Today I decided to embrace this new craving and followed the advice of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle: TREAT YO SELF.

Now instead of lavish and indulgent meals I will treat myself in more personal ways. Today I decided to go with a new look: silver fox. ????

How do you treat yourself now that food is no longer such an enticing treat?

I'm nervous about using Groupon ads for cosmetic injectibles (Botox, Restylane, Juviderm, etc.) administered by random people without medical degrees of any kind who work in strip mall shops.

I'm OK with trying out a new hairdresser I've never used before. But NOT for cosmetic injectibles!

Hi all. The thrifty side of me is coming out as I see all of these. I am sure most of you use it , but there may be a few unfamiliar with it, but check out GROUPON to help reduce the cost of some of those treats. It also may give you some ideas for new treats. I live in a pretty big city so my available options may be more than many but dang you can get some good deals. Massages, restlyn, Botox, facials, teeth whitening, Pilates classes, body scrubs, laser hair removal, waxing, mini get always, etc! I always Yelp or google the places before to see if they are recommended. I just recently bought during their health and beauty extra 20% off 3 - 1 hour long sessions in a sensory deprivation floating chamber for 80 bucks!! I am scared/excited to try! It is supposed to help you center and relax. We shall see.

If you live in an urban area another good resource is schools, like massage schools, cosmetology schools, etc.

I hear you in that! I haven't tried injectables from there. In my area of the states there are actually Dr. Offices who do groupon as well. San Francisco is a very competitive market for that I guess!! Luckily (or not haha) my dr is actually in my work building!!

And i totally agree about massage schools!! You really get a lot for your money!!! And because they are learning they really try hard!!!

I guess at the end of the day, whether it is a massage or a new haircut or just a new bottle of nail polish or a magazine (I couldn't think of something small a guy may reward himself with).... We should all remember we are doing a great job and working this journey and we deserve to be treated!
