This one works, an article i read last week on yahoo:
Fortunately, we don't have to spend a lot of money (or money we don't have) to feel nurtured. In fact, true self-care is none of those things. Just as eating too much food makes you feel sick, excessive indulgence feels badly, too. Debt, overspending and a house filled with things you don't use, need, or appreciate drains the spirit. Self-care enriches it.
The trick to inexpensive self-care is using your creativity to meet your needs --- a tool I've used in cash crunches over the years. To get you thinking, here are 15 frugal ways to add self-care into your life:
1. Use the library
2. Buy quality over quantity
3. Learn how to do it yourself
4. Make your own pampering products
5. Barter
6. Ask around
7. Give yourself the luxury of time
8. Cultivate low-cost entertainment
9. Rest
10. Use the power of a group
11. Change your expectations for entertaining
12. Embrace potlucks
13. Share your wish list with friends and family
14. Host swaps with friends
15. Give yourself an allowance
