It’s so important to treat yourself this Summer!

A treat means different things to different people – and it’s not just about spending money on yourself. In fact, some of the best treats are simple and completely free. Treating yourself gives you a chance to enjoy your Summer – and it can help to give you a spring in your step during the new season.

In this blog post, I’ve put together 5 easy ways to treat yourself this Summer – including fun ideas to give you a bit of inspiration!

1. Book a holiday

A holiday is a great way to treat yourself this Summer. I’m not talking about a huge, expensive trip abroad – although that sounds pretty good! I’m talking about planning an affordable day trip, getting away for a couple of days or even just taking a few days off work.

If you’re the kind of person who forgets to use up all of your annual leave, take a few days away from your job to make the most of Summer this year.

2. Get a new plant

This Summer, get yourself a cute new plant as a little treat. You’ll bring a bit of nature into your home, and you’ll also brighten up your living space. A plant is a great way to treat yourself this Summer, especially if you’re looking for a unique way to decorate your home – and there are so many health benefits of house plants.

Plants aren’t usually too expensive, so this is a great way to treat yourself without spending lots of money this Summer.

3. Take yourself on a solo date

Summer is the perfect time to take yourself on a solo date. You could visit a museum, go for a meal at a restaurant or hang out in a local café for a couple of hours. You could even stay in the house if you don’t want to spend any money. Simply spend an afternoon reading or enjoy a long bubble bath.

Spending time by yourself is so important. It gives you a chance to decompress and enjoy a bit of self-care – and it’s also a fantastic way to make the most of your Summer.

4. Buy a Summer treat

This Summer, buy yourself a delicious Summer treat! I love getting a cool ice lolly or ice-cream when the weather gets warmer. You could keep it simple with an ice pop from your local shop, or go all out with a tub of Haagen-Dazs this Summer.

You could also make your favourite Summer meal to give yourself a little treat this season. If you’re working all day, this will give you something to get excited about in the evening – and it’s one of the best ways to perk up your mood a little bit.

5. Go to the library

The library has always been my happy place. Me and my daughter used to go to the library all the time, and it’s such a lovely place to read, rest and relax this Summer!

Treat yourself to a long read in the library or spend an afternoon browsing the shelves. This is completely free – and it’s a great place to escape when the weather’s bad or when you need a quiet moment of reflection.
