Recently I have had the worst luck. Between bad days at work, rough days in class and tough friend situations things were a little crazy for a while. But today I took the day to treat myself and relax and it was just what I needed.
My friend from home was in town doing work for a job he had over the summer, and his employer happened to pay for him to stay at a really nice hotel. So when I came down to visit we got to enjoy the luxuries as well as catch up on one another's lives.
After we splurged for lunch, I headed uptown to Sephora, where I sat in the makeup chair for over a half hour while the woman fussed over me and my makeup colors. It was perfect, having someone else be so willing to run around for me, not to mention it was extra luxurious to have her using the most fabulous products on my skin.
I think if anyone is ever having a bad day, the solution is to just go somewhere where people will make a big deal out of you and fuss over you. Sephora or any other makeup counter is great because they'll put an expensive product on you, decide its not right, then let you take it off and they'll start over. Not to mention, when you leave, you have all the makeup on, so you look great, regardless of whether or not you bought anything.
Even a high end boutique would help. You wouldn't leave looking especially fabulous, but having someone at your beck and call while you try on expensive clothes should at least boost your mood a little. There's nothing a little customer service and retail therapy can't fix.
I may or may not have treated myself to a few things.

By the time I finally made it back to school, I felt better about myself. Sure, I had just dropped an obscene amount of money on makeup products at Sephora, but sometimes I think the most worthwhile investments are the ones I make in myself.
