Self pampering guilt

I know this might sound strange but I literally do nothing for myself ever.. the last thing I bought for myself was tampons and shampoo.. and my shampoo was 2$ so I decided I wanted to get my hair cut.. now that I have set it all up for tomorrow I feel so guilty it's 25$ I could use for my kids or something. My anxiety is going crazy think I'm going to cancel.. 😫

No don't cancel! It sounds like you deserve it. Im the same way. Try it out I think you may feel better afterwards. Im sure your kids wont mind seeing their mom taking care of some of her needs. You may feel differently once its time tomorrow.

Hi lovely, I know exactly where you’re coming from as I’m the same! I’m booked in for a hair cut on Tuesday and are feeling guilty, especially with it coming up to Christmas. (That money could buy extra treats for the kids, extra little presents etc etc) but I’m determined not to cancel my appointment and I’m determined to try and enjoy the ‘time out/me time’ As has already been said, I’m sure the kids won’t mind, it could just be the confidence boost we need and also, we deserve a treat every now and then. Please keep your appointment, please try to stop worrying about it (and I’ll try too lol) xx

I hope you are able to enjoy your haircut tomorrow. You deserve to have a little you time & be pampered a little. It's an hour to focus on you & get your mind off things.... you'll feel good & your kids will be happy because their mom is happy.
