The festive season is tough, the toughest in fact and sometimes it takes us a little while to bounce back, or at least it takes a little while for our wallets to bounce back.
But, as we head into April, hereโs hoping that your wallet is a little fatter these days and youโre looking for ways to splash some cash. Here is our top five.

Olive Tree Market
The best thing about finding your mojo with your cash situation is treating yourself to some delicious hand made or locally sourced treats.
I mean, going to the markets is fun any time but itโs even more fun when youโre cashed up and ready to spend your moolah. They Olive Tree markets return to Civic Park the first Saturday of every month.

Civic Theatre
Nothing says culture like going to the theatre amirite? Itโs not something you can do every week, thatโs for sure, but when the time (and your wallet) is right, why not! There are always amazing shows breezing into town and just think, now you can be one of those people who said they went to the theatre on the weekend. And sound cultured and enlightened. Ya dig?

The Falcon
Again, you donโt need cash cash money to go to The Falcon, but itโs one of those places that when you have some cash to burn, you can finally taste all of the delicious options on offer.
Now you donโt have to decide what cocktail to choose because now you can have them all!

Hunter Valley Zoo
Did someone say cute animals? Ah yeah! This is another treat yourself weekend kind of trip and why the bloody hell not?! Because when youโve got some cash to splash, now you can book in for an animal encounter as well. #worthit

Pamper yourself
Saving the best till last, obviously. Sometimes the last person you want to be nice to, is you. Why not pamper you self to an Indian head massage (I wholeheartedly recommend Lee from Body and Face Thyme). Or go to a day spa, or get a mani-pedi or whatever. Go and do something for you just you.
And remember, youโre pretty awesome just in case you forgot.
