"To From Love" is probably the best advice my mom ever gave me. I've always been able to guilt myself out of treating myself to anything. I would, and still sometimes do, pick up a shirt at a store and walk around with it for 20 minutes only to put it back on the rack because I've talked myself out of it. I have this incredible talent of being able to stare at a bottle of Prosecco in my refrigerator for days, only to leave it for a "special occasion" or for when I might have guests over. It's probably a stellar combination of being extremely frugal and an underlying feeling that I wasn't worth it, and the more I talked to other women about it, I realized so many females struggle with the same thing. What is the deal?!?!
So one night, after a miserable day at work, my mom called and basically ordered me to open that bottle of Prosecco and enjoy it. Yes mam! She said life is too short to not treat everyday as a celebration, don't wait for something better to happen, enjoy today. Don't wait for someone else to give it to you, give it to yourself! Do something for yourself EVERY SINGLE DAY! It doesn't have to be extreme (not everyone is living like a Kardashian) but it does have to be something. Drink that extra cup of coffee in the morning, unashamedly blast Britney Spears on your way to work, buy yourself that oh-so-cute blazer you've been eying... and when you do, think "To me, Love me, From me", because YOU are worth it, and that's always worth celebrating.
xoxo,
ToFromLove
