Don't Forget to Treat Yourself

Life can be overwhelming, busy. Indiqenistas are consistently achieving more! From pursuing higher education, to working overtime to secure  your next promotion- it gets easy to forget about yourself, and your happiness. According to Mail Online, the average person only treats themselves to about two treats a month, and generally only as a reward for a hard day at work or if the item is on sale.  However, there are small, inexpensive ways to pamper yourself without breaking the bank. For instance, have that slice of chocolate cake. Dark Chocolate has been proven to help women maintain low BMIs.  Also, you can take time to buy yourself flowers. Try a bubble bathroom to slow down and release daily stressors. The main objective is to do small things more frequently to actually enjoy the life you're living.
