6 Ways to Put Yourself First

Do a lingerie purge: get rid of all your stretched-out, faded everyday undergarments and replace them with silky, colorful pieces.

Make sure that new dress you buy doesn't require Spanx for you to look fly. It is possible to be both cute and comfortable this season.

Let love rule and step away from the negative comments on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Buy a fragrant shower gel with a delicious scent that transforms your bathroom into a spa. Let it be known to all in your house that this is just for you. Find this particular set for $16-$40, available at Crabtree & Evelyn.

Eat dinner off the good dishes, at the dining table that's always set but never used. Why save your sparkle when you can shine anytime?
