3 Ways to Spoil Yourself When You Need a Pick-Me-Up

January 27, 2021 by Juliann

The time between the close of winter and the beginning of spring can be a taxing time of the year. The excitement of Christmas has all faded away, and you might have only just finished getting all of those decorations taken down and boxed up for next year. The days are still rather short, and the weather certainly hasn’t turned into bright, sunny spring just yet. This can make for some long days and even longer weeks.

During this time, it can be nice to step away for a minute and spoil yourself with a little pick-me-up. With all of the preparation for spring and the seemingly never-ending list of things to do, a break is necessary from time to time.

This doesn’t mean that you have to pack up and head out of town to get the boost that you need. There are actually a few simple things that you can do right from home that will brighten your mood instantly. Here are just three ideas to consider when you need a little pick-me-up.

1. Order Yourself Some Decadent Chocolates

It is no secret that reserving some treats for yourself when you have a family can be a challenge. There always seems to be someone who finds the place that you stash your treats and takes them without your knowledge. If you are in need of a pick-me-up, why not order yourself some decadent chocolates that are just for you?

Such chocolates can even come in a personalized box so that everyone knows just who they are for. Take a break from the chaos of this time of year and enjoy some delicious treats that are all your own. You can even find some amazing vegan chocolate options if that is your preference.

2. Have a Spa Night

While you might not have the time to head out for a day at the spa, that doesn’t mean you can’t pamper yourself right from home. You can put together a simple yet relaxing spa night for yourself any time you need a pick-me-up.

If you don’t have the right bath products for a spa night, you can find easily find what you need online. Some services will even have specific spa boxes filled with everything you need for a relaxing evening of pampering. All you have to do is select the box that you prefer and have it delivered right to your door.

3. Learn to Make a New Cocktail

There is something that is undeniably fun and decadent about enjoying delicious and unique cocktails. Instead of planning a whole night out, though, you can learn how to make some new cocktails at home for whenever you need a pick-me-up.

You can get a simple set of cocktail crafting equipment, get all of the mixers that you will need, and spend an evening learning how to make your favorite drinks. Why not invite a friend over to serve as your official taste tester and make it an evening to remember? You will have fun and love trying your concoctions together.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
