Treat Yo Self: The Miami County Episode
October 9, 2025
In the immortal words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle from Parks & Recreation: “Treat. Yo. Self.”
“Treat Yo’ Self Day” is an unofficial holiday celebrated annually on October 13th, originating from the TV show Parks and Recreation. It’s a day dedicated to self-care, indulgence, and pampering, where you can splurge on items and experiences that bring joy, like clothes, massages, fine foods, or mimosas.
Once a year (or let’s be honest, maybe more), you deserve a day of doing exactly what you want—no guilt, no budgets, just vibes. And there’s no better place to do it than right here in Miami County, Ohio, where small-town charm meets big-time experiences. Whether you’re overdue for pampering, craving a little retail therapy, or just want to slow down and indulge, Miami County has your Treat Yo Self day covered from start to spa.
Start strong with an artfully crafted latte at Purebred Coffee Co. in Troy or Winans Chocolates + Coffees for a mocha paired with handmade chocolates. Not a coffee person? Opt for a fruit smoothie at ReU Juicery in Tipp City or Troy and grab a protein-packed breakfast bowl. And because this is your day—yes, you can have a donut from Dobo’s Delights or a gooey cinnamon roll from Bakehouse Bread & Cookie Co. Calories don’t count on Treat Yo Self Day!
Stop 2: Spa, Please 💆♀️💅
Next up: pampering. Book a massage or facial at éclat Facial Studio in Troy, Tipp City or Piqua. Want the full glow-up? Get your nails done at Special Effects Salon & Day Spa or try a new cut and color that says, “New me, who dis?”. Relax and detox with salt therapy at Rest & Renewal Wellness or Respire Salt Spa.
It’s not a Treat Yo Self day without buying at least one thing you don’t need (but definitely want). Stroll through the boutiques of Downtown Tipp City like Living Simply Soap (for fine fragrances and lotions), Bodega Wine & Specialty Foods, or The Golden Leaf Tea & Herb Company for fancy teas and a whiff of calm.
Then pop over to Downtown Troy and browse Echo Boutique, Blue Bow Boutique, or the stunning finds at Feral Child.
Bonus stop: The Birch Tree in Piqua for elevated home goods, eclectic antiques, and maybe something a little bougie. Because why not?
Need a little adventure with your indulgence? Paddle down the Great Miami River, or if you’re really going all in, spend the night in one of the floating tents with Float Troy.
Prefer chill vibes? Take a pottery class at Artistic Earth Pottery or schedule a painting session at Studio 14 Creative Arts Center. Artistic expression = emotional wellness, and that’s the ultimate flex.
Now it’s time to sip something local. Head to Old Mason Winery or Twenty-One Barrels for a tasting flight with vineyard views. Not into wine? How about handcrafted cocktails at The Cherry Street Bottle Shop or a house brew at Crooked Handle Brewing Co. in Piqua?
Don’t forget dessert. Treat Yo Self to gourmet cupcakes at Hometowne Bakes, bourbon cherry cordials from Winans, or creamy scoops from Jubie’s Creamery or Susie’s Big Dipper. One of each? Absolutely.
End the perfect day by checking into a cozy room or splurging on a unique stay near the Great Miami River. Because you deserve more than just one day.
Final Words:
Whether you’re solo, with your bestie, or dragging along a reluctant “Ben Wyatt” in need of a joy intervention—Miami County is ready to be your personal Treat Yo Self wonderland.


So go ahead—buy the thing, sip the drink, eat the cake, float the river.
Treat. Yo. Self. Miami County style.
