Now I know I’m not the only one that just got inspired to binge watch Parks and Recreation after reading this title. For those of you who don’t know this reference, “treat yo self” is from one of my favorite TV shows, Parks and Recreation.  

Once a year, two of the main characters Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle buy whatever they want for themselves. You can watch the video below to fully appreciate this reference.

Now if fine leather goods and velvet slippies aren’t really your thing, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered.

I know how common it is to want to treat yo self with food when things are going well and you’re meeting your goals. However, food is our body’s source of fuel, not a reward for checking things off your to do list.

So here are my ideas to treat yo self, no food required.
