Pampering oneself is self-care serving to reduce stress and foster relaxation. The lipstick effect is a term coined to denote those historical periods such as recession where women's purchase of lipstick notably increases. Hmmm, I wonder how lipstick fared during pandemic when masks were mandated?! Pampering ourselves gives us a psychological boost to withstand tough times.
My favorite pampering actions: turning off the computer, buying flowers for the house, window shopping, massage, haircut, and/or pedicure. What’s yours?
