Today, as I write this, is Treat Yo Self Day, October 13. Or rather, it’s a day where Tom and Donna, two characters on the tv series Parks and Rec, took part in annual self-care and splurging. And now, fans of the show do, too. It seems silly, taking on a fictional character’s holiday of self-indulgence. But what if it’s not?
Some of us need a push to stop scrimping and saving and allow ourselves to finally enjoy the fruits of our labors. Treat Yo Self Day can be that push.
Luckily this day coincides with a day off for me. Here’s how I’ll be treating myself:
- A leisurely breakfast while reading a paper magazine
- A studio workout
- Coffee at an independent coffee shop
- Fragrance sniffing at the mall
- A day listening to fun music instead of my usual serious podcasts
Treat Yo Self doesn’t mean you have to be fiscally irresponsible. You should treat yourself not destroy yourself. Now if I were making bad financial decisions, this is what I’d get:

Loewe Campo Loafers in croc embossed calfskin
$1200
Yes, the shape is slightly exaggerated but polished. That happens to be my vibe right now.

Louis Vuitton Beaute LV Rouge in Nebula Plum
$160
It’s stupid expensive, but this is the day to splurge right?
Are you planning to Treat Yo Self at all today?

Noble Panacea Hyaluronic Renewal Trio
$828 for 30 days worth
I’ve always wanted to try this brand, but it is so expensive that even I have a hard time justifying a purchase right now.
