Reward Yourself!

January is almost over but that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the towel on  your new year’s resolutions just yet! One of the best ways to stay motivated when trying to accomplish your goals is to reward yourself. Here are some of our ideas on how to reward yourself for how far you’ve already come!

Goal: Make It To the Gym Three Days a Week
Reward: Cute Workout Gear
Why it works: When you reward yourself with something like a new workout top it can serve as a reminder of how far  you’ve come and can help motivate you even further. Plus, according to Lindsey with Esprit de She, “When we dress for success, I’m confident there’s a hidden vibe from within that elevates our performance.”

Goal: Make More Time for Myself
Reward: Hour Long Massage
Why it Works: Every time you take some time for yourself by turning off the cell phone for 30 minutes, watching your favorite show on TV or taking a long bubble bath you are showing yourself that you are worth it. We suggest bumping it up a notch by treating yourself to a facial or massage once a month to reward yourself for simply being you. 

Goal: Eat More Fruits and Veggies-
Reward: A healthy and decadent dessert
Why it Works: Congrats, you grabbed a bag a carrots instead of a bag of chips when the afternoon hunger pains started! Give yourself a treat by splurging on one of these decadent but healthy desserts:
Lavender-Scented Strawberries with Honey Cream (135 calories per serving)
Almond Stuffed Baked Apples with Caramel-Apple Sauce (185 calories per serving)
Broiled Pineapple Sundays (225 Calories per serving)

Goal: Take Better Care of Your Skin
Reward: Renew Serum
Why it Works: You vowed to remove your makeup, cleanse and moisturize every night and so far you’ve kept your promise. Adding a new product to your routine that feels special, like Renew Serum, will be further motivation to keep up your skin care routine. The anti-aging benefits are an added bonus!
