Do You Buy Yourself Flowers?

February 15, 2023February 15, 2023 Kelley 4 comments

“Bought myself flowers today!” my friend texted me yesterday, along with a photo of her new bouquet. I sent back three heart-eye emojis and asked if her husband forget it was Valentine’s Day. “No! We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day but I wanted some flowers anyway! No real reason,” she replied. I love that.

Not that you need a reason to buy yourself flowers, but feeling inspired, I went out and bought myself flowers this morning for filing our taxes earlier this week (which, by the way, was way ahead of the deadline — something that has never happened). 

Even though I do our taxes each year, I haven’t thought of it as a reason to celebrate before. But if you own a business and have ever filed your own taxes, you know it’s time-consuming and can make you want to pull your hair out. It takes me a few hours to do ours, and I usually have to google tax lingo and skim articles to make sure I don’t miss any deductions. 

I’m going to get myself Tax Season Flowers every year from now on, and I love the idea of getting into the routine of picking up a bouquet on a random Wednesday for no reason other than I want to. 

Do you buy yourself flowers? If so, do you get them on special occasions? For no reason at all?

PS. An easy flower arranging tip.
