I bought Lush body products for the first time. I bought a face mask before and due to the fact that the company sells expensive items compared to the generic brands that the drug stores have, I vowed to never buy anything from the store again. However, I dropped by a Lush store a week ago and bought two soap bars. One is a bubble bath soap bar with a rose scent and the other is a bath bomb with a honey scent and I felt in love with them instantly at the store, so I had to get it. The two soap bar cost my wallet $20. When I got home, I realize that I need to have a bathtub of my own in order to use them and I realize that since I share a bathroom with a few other people, there is no way I can spend one hour on my own and not having anyone complaining to me about hogging the restroom to myself. Due to the luscious smell of the items I bought, I decided to keep the soaps and promise to myself that I would find ways to put them in good use even if I will never use them in a bathtub.
The Lush soap bars helped me see that a key to happiness is to treat yourself out. Buy something that you always wanted. Buy that one shirt that you always crave, buy that one perfume that makes you turn heads over heal every time you put your nose near it. Do something that makes you afraid. Plan that Asia trip that you hold off since college. Eat an expensive and good meal at a restaurant. Make reservation with that one top restaurant in your hometown and dress up for the night. And best of all remember that you are doing this for yourself, not for anyone else. Not for your parents, your siblings, your friends, your boyfriend or husband. You are doing this because you deserve it. We learn to appreciate ourselves and to think for ourselves as we choose to do what we want, rather than having other people dictate us on what to do with our life. We only have one life, make the most out of it and know that we deserve it.
