FabSwingers.com forum: Little treats for yourself

After a really manic Friday at work, at the end of a really busy week overall I needed a little pick me up so I made myself an Old Fashioned.

I don't make cocktails very often and definitely measure things properly but tonight I've either got it perfect or I just am really appreciating the treat because it is lush.

So my questions are what little things do you do to treat yourself? And are you going to do it this weekend? Because you probably deserve whatever it is.

I bought a box of chocolates for someone today, I opened them then ate them on the sofa.

I'll have to buy another box tomorrow

Chocolate. And crisps. Too often.

Oh, and almond croissants. My weekend ritual!

The depths of your mind

Had talking therapy a while back and one of the most useful outcomes was allowing myself time for self care. I'd been using up all my time to do things for others which was having a negative impact on my mental health.

So my treats, as lame as it might sound, are things like spending time doing my beard, getting my hair cut, dressing well and making time to do things I enjoy.

Also, a serving of mocha is always a good treat for me!

It's really easy to make yourself as long as you have some bitters, and there's very little faffing about which suits me as I'm no Tom Cruise

I've not made any cocktails at home. I'm afraid it'll turn into a rabbit hole 🙈

I'm not a big cocktail person, I just like old fashioned and thought it looked easy to make and found a recipe that I loosely follow. I don't make any others

A good Old Fashioned is a thing of beauty.

I buy books. We have hundreds. Many hundreds. Oh and if at home on a Saturday morning, a very early morning mocha with cinnamon, listening to the birds and sitting outside.

Oh and cooking something ludicrously ostentatious and using ingredients I don't often/know. It's ritualistic and soothing. 🥰

As a treat to myself I have my nails done every three weeks. I have them painted in a dark polish, kept short and square.

I have had a manicure and pedicure today. My nail are gunmetal grey with a little hint of glitter. Gorgeous.

I never treat myself, I broke my rule last month and purchased a new wireless for my work van as sick of buying new aux cables to play own music, life punished my selfishness when the turbo shat itself and wrecked 2 injectors in the process before I even got to fit the bastard wireless

I get a Chinese every Saturday after leg day but that’s not counted as a treat as food is needed to survive

I decided (many years ago).to build a bar... I still have many of the bottles of liquor (most of them are probably welllll past their 'best by', by now (if they still exist). I very rarely drink at home anymore.

I used to love thinking about making cocktails though

It's just such a cool thing to be able to know how to do though, right? 😅

True! I have a couple of cocktail books, and a shaker... but no-one to make them for... drinking home alone feels sad (she says, having all-but finished a bottle of wine...😬)
