It’s no surprise that I suffer from a little motivational syndrome called TREAT YO SELF. The syndrome became apparent, when I immediately connected with Episode 4, Season 4 of Parks and Recreation, a.k.a the “Treat yo self day” episode. Here’s a clip of the script, for your reading pleasure. It will also add some context to this post.
Tom Haverford: Once a year, Donna and I spend a day treating ourselves. What do we treat ourselves to?
Donna Meagle: Clothes.
Tom Haverford: Treat yo self.
Donna Meagle: Fragrances.
Tom Haverford: Treat yo self.
Donna Meagle: Massages.
Tom Haverford: Treat yo self.
Donna Meagle: Mimosas.
Tom Haverford: Treat yo self.
Donna Meagle: Fine leather goods.
Tom Haverford: Treat yo self!
Donna Meagle: It’s the best day of the year.
Tom Haverford, Donna Meagle: The best day of the year!
Here are my top 5 reasons to Treat-yo-self:
- Live in the Now
- Celebrate small victories
- Live today like it’s your last day
- You work hard, you deserve it
- Gotta have it all…NOW
Disclaimer- I am by no means a financial planner and absolve myself from any fiduciary responsibilities, so please “treat yo self” with caution.

I would choose: http://ottawa.givopoly.com/collections/made-in-ottawa/products/dozen-with-small-tin However it would be as a gift for my Mom as she is helping me going through the worst 6 months and I would like to do something nice for her. Plus scones are yummers!

I’d buy myself some chocolates! I have never been sent chocolates before, and I think I deserve some. Hey, you did say “treat yo self!” I’d get these http://toronto.givopoly.com/collections/rococoa/products/20pc-signature-truffle-box and then act like it was a gift from an admirer.
You win funniest comment ?
Dare to be different, that’s my line. That is why I chose this beautiful bird of paradise arrangements. It’s so exotic and would make me feel so good.

KATIE!!! YOU ARE THE WINNER!!!! Congrats!!
I might have to buy myself a birthday present with this! I’d treat myself to a new watch – these wood ones are beautiful! http://ottawa.givopoly.com/collections/timberwatches/products/the-churchill-watch
30pc Signature Truffle Box is one of my favourite treat.
It is too hard to pick one, but I’d pick the urban foodie gift box.
I would love to pamper myself with a “Beyond Bed and Bath” gift box during the dull and cold month of November.
I’m a total supporter of Treat Yourself, though I’ll admit I don’t participate as often as I should. If I were to treat myself, I’d definitely go with Sconewitch’s funky little tea towel & scone gift set: http://ottawa.givopoly.com/collections/urban-gourmet-givopoly/products/scones-and-tea-towel-gift-set
I love the “Leopard Scarf and Handbag Combo” – Treat Yo self!
