Treat Yourself

There are some tasks that we can do ourselves but like to splurge on every once in a while. (Blowouts, anyone?) Then there are those tasks that are impossible DIY (eyebrow threading, bikini waxing, etc.). So while you’re shopping for all of those ‘must-have’ back-to-school items for the kids, remember to schedule some time for you once they’re settled in the classroom.

Here are some great deals on all of our favourite places to eat, manicure and maintain our girlish good looks—because back to school also means a bit of mommy time.

Bite Bar
Bite Bar offers $20 for 24 bite-size cupcakes in an amazing array of flavours, from peanut butter and jelly to banana splitz. And you’ve just provided a fun, unique and cost-effective solution to birthday party treats or the world’s largest playdate. (Bite into this)

Pretty in the City
You can skip the mascara, eyeliner, shadow and even sleep with the eye-opening allure of eyelash extensions. $78 gets you a set of 25 lashes per eye at Pretty in the City. You’re saving money on makeup and your sanity. (Don’t blink)
