Colorado Tops List of States Where People Treat Themselves Most

Fort Mason Games - a female run mobile gaming company has commissioned a survey to find out how Americans choose to treat themselves, and who treats themselves the most. Colorado lands at the top of the list, neck in neck with Washington and Maryland.

The study found that giving yourself some "me time" can greatly benefit your health and wellness.

The treat yourself movement was created by the show Parks and Recreation and is mostly seen as a millennial fad. However, giving yourself a treat for hard work is as old as time. The study found that (more than ever) Americans are proactively looking for moments of happiness to boost their moods.
