'Your little treat of choice tells me everything I need to know about you.'

We always talk about acts of self-care which are things that we usually showcase loudly and proudly. But no-one talks about the little treats we get ourselves that just bring an extra spark into our lives. They’re so small that other people might not even consider it a "treat" yet, they feel like the checkpoints marked all throughout your day that fill you with so much joy and happiness. 

We all have them, and I’m here to tell you that your little treat of choice tells me everything I need to know about you. Why? Oh, because your little treats have a direct correlation to your personality of course! Don’t worry, you are in safe hands.

If you treat yourself to a barista coffee.

Whether you buy your coffee from your favourite cafe or you have one of those fancy-pants machines with all the buttons and nozzles… if you are a stickler for top-tier coffee then you appreciate the finer things in life. 

You also completely ignore anyone who says something along the lines of, "The best coffee is…" because they don’t know where the best coffee is, only you know where the best coffee is. The audacity of such amateurs trying to influence an expert. 

The issue is, you’ve become so obsessed with your perfect coffee that you can’t have coffee anywhere else. You have to put on a face whenever you catch up with friends at a cafe you’re not familiar with. 

You want to be open to new experiences but how can you when you know that your coffee will always be the best? 

If you treat yourself to 3-ply toilet paper.

Look, we all know that toilet paper plays a big part in our mood. There’s nothing worse than reaching for paper that you know will be itchy, rough, thin and worst of all – doesn’t easily break off and therefore, completely ruins your paper ratio (I surely can’t be the only one who gets upset at this).

Enter Kleenex's new Luxury Quilts Toilet Paper, the Rolls-Royce of bathroom tissue, if you will.

Choosing the heavenly squares of Kleenex Luxury Quilts isn't just about hygiene; it's a statement. It speaks volumes that your commitment to premium quality, and appreciation for life's little comforts extends to your posterior. 

You understand that the small things matter for you and your household, and that includes the gentle caress of ultimate quilted comfort against your skin. Because in a world full of rough edges, you deserve a little luxury in every aspect of your life – even in the bathroom.

If you treat yourself to fancy hand soap.

For you, washing your hands isn't just a chore – it's an opportunity to indulge in a little luxury and pamper yourself with the finest ingredients. Or, if you’re like me, it’s an opportunity to show off to guests who may visit your home. 

If you dive into the fancy soap fandom you’re obsessed with aesthetics and the look of things. You don’t really mind the smell or feel of the soap as long as the packaging goes with your overall vibe. 

Just seeing your fancy soap on your kitchen counter or bathroom sink automatically brightens your day (and hygiene). 

You’re now considering if you should start buying the matching hand cream to your soap so you can reach your full bathroom bougie-ness potential (you definitely should).

For you, skincare isn't just a routine – it's a ritual. And you approach it with the precision and dedication of a master craftsman. That's why you reach for nothing but the best when it comes to your face masks. Sheets, clay, gel, charcoal… you’ve got them all. 

Your face mask game is unmatched and you have nailed down your routine. 

You're everyone's favourite travel companion because you bring face masks to cater to everyone’s holiday skin needs. 

You understand that self-care is non-negotiable, and you're not afraid to invest in products that prioritise quality and efficacy, you know that taking care of your skin is an essential part of taking care of yourself.

If you treat yourself to lighting a luxe candle.

You, my friend, is who I aspire to be. We all have that one special candle tucked away in a cupboard somewhere collecting dust. 

We tell ourselves that we’ll light it on a special occasion, except that no occasion seems special enough to use it. Eventually, that luxury candle loses its scent along with its meaning. And then we repeat it over and over again.

You however, don’t do this. 

You appreciate luxury candles in a way that they should be appreciated. You light them. You light them without even needing an occasion to light them. You understand their worth and value and you want to enjoy that in whatever capacity is right for you, whether it’s having a bath, reading on the couch or while you’re eating dinner. 

I want to be just like you when I grow up. 

For you, a fancy candle isn't just a decorative accent – it's a portal to relaxation and rejuvenation.

Our little treats may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but they speak volumes about who we are and what we value. Whether it's a barista coffee, luxury toilet paper, or that candle, our choices reflect our unique tastes, preferences, and priorities. 

So get going and indulge in your favourite little treat.
