We all deserve to get pampered, but not all of us can drop that kind of coin whenever we feel like we need a special pick-me-up. From fine dining to a mani-pedi, some things we just need in our lives to let us know that we are doing the best we possibly can and not everyone knows how to show they appreciate you. If you live by the phrase "always gotta look out for my number one" and the number one in that scenario is you, then I have some helpful and inexpensive ways to show your number one that you are special.

1. Spa Day.

Pluck your eyebrows, take a soak in the tub. Perhaps stop by LUSH on your way home and grab a bath bomb and a new lotion. Nothing feels more relaxing then lounging around listening to your favorite playlist or podcast while in a face mask with freshly painted toe nails! This is the treat that keeps on giving as you are sure to have that special post pampered glow for days to come!

2. Special Dinner.

Forget spending a chunk of money on going out to dinner, have a quiet night in with your favorite bottle of wine and something fresh from the grocery store or farmers market. Try and make your favorite meal more glamorous or venture out and try and make something new and exotic!

3. Night In With Friends.

This is a personal favorite of mine and for good reason, as you grow up and everyone's lives get so busy it's important to keep in contact with the ones you care about. Trying to set up a stress free night of friends and catching up maybe a board game or a movie and some delivery. Nothing beats just hanging out and talking surrounded by loved ones.

4. Read That Book You've Been Wanting To.

I know you have a book in mind that's been taunting you on your shelf, and if not take a trip to your local bookstore. There are some really cool book stores in almost every town and the smell of a new or used book with a nice cup of coffee is the perfect way to let your mind escape from all the tasks and to-do's of your busy life.

5. Indulge In Your Sweet Tooth.

You more than deserve this one and if it's spending a little extra on a fancy chocolate bar or picking up the really good brand of ice cream on your way home. You deserve it and it's important to let yourself know that every once in awhile.

I hope you start planning your perfect 'treat yo self' day right now. Hopefully you find some other ways to inexpensively treat yourself and let the rest of us know too. Enjoy!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
