How do you pamper yourself

[Jules22871]

With all the injuries I had in my accident I have found one of the most soothing things for me is a salt bath. I order dead sea salt from EBay. Been using the same seller for a couple of years now. I run my water as hot as I can stand it and put a big cup of salt in the water. Then I just get in and lay back and relax. It really helps relax me and actually eases some of my pain. It acts as a great skin conditioner too as long as you rinse off well afterwords.

I usually order 20 pounds at a time and it will last me about 4-5 months. Sometimes I splurge and get some lavender essential oil to add in there. Your body will love you for it!

I am a nut for powders..talc's any of that scented stuff! I love to climb into a bed that has lavender talc sprinkled on it. Yeah you have to wash sheets more and vaccum the mattress pad..but oooo how lovely it is!

I also love flavored coffee's..just a bit here and there. Now that I can smell again, a little goes a long way!

I forgot! Pillow's on the bed..lots of pillows. Fat ones, flat ones foam ones and a few feathered ones for winter.

I also like a good long soak in a hot tub with oils and herbs... Even kick all the dogs out so they not sitting there staring at me or trying to jump in (whatcha you doing)... Nice relaxing quiet time

A bubble bath, with candles going for me usually a cold drink and a good book too!

 

[SudokuGal]

Wow, what a wakeup call for me! I realize that I DON'T do anything to pamper myself.

 

[Kimerpuff]

You should! Iv'e found a little self-pampering goes a long way in how I deal with and enjoy my day!

 

[SueandCootie]

That's interesting..since I started working out heavy I do...lavender bath salts! Not as often as I intend, mind you. I'm actually fitting into a trend here!

 

[VA Slim]

I'm with you SudokuGal....does an occasional pedicure count? (Always considered that maintenance.) Or a bowl of pasta and a good movie on a rainy afternoon on the couch? Note to self......find time to pamper.

 

[Mary Kay]

Sudoku and Slim! You ladies are surely worth an hour of pampering and primping! Please..you can make bath salts! It doesn't cost but a couple of $. Body lotions are cheap and so are powders and talc..on sale. Take some time out of your day..do yourself this one favor and do something kind for you!

55 minute massage every other Friday - Awesome. And, whenever possiblt, a steaming hot bath with a cold glass of ice water (little pellet ice), a good book (murder mystery), and my favorite vape (still kinda miss the analogs here).

 

[VA Slim]

Thanks MaryKay.....will do....need to have the brows waxed (again maintenance)...but, that hurts. I'll try the bath idea.

got pampered,, got some more audio books today This Glenn Harrold is just one of the best for meditational ,, great soothing British voice and he knows how to use the background music and sound frequencys that just sucks you right in.... Highly recomend his stuff just very well done for content presentation and affect... I stared at the stop smoking forever and it made me wonder??? how it would apply to not smoking but vaping ???? just made me wonder..

have a great day....

 

[Mary Kay]

Stared at what stop smoking forever? I just got confused again..i am having a duh day!

 

[PatriciafromCO]

lol lol poor MaryKay,, to much excitment for my fingers to keep up with my thoughts... meditational audio books by Glenn Harrold,, one that I saw listed was "stop smoking forever" and it just made me wonder since we all vape now if it would still work for nicotine addiction or if would be just about smoking analogs..??? never heard a stop smoking tape before, didn't think something like that would work, having a building fall on me yes that I could be positive would stop me smoking ,,, but not an audio tape.... so you wonder whats on there... I just got some relax guided meditional ones... those are always fun trying to picture as they discribing what your surroundings are.. Going to be on country dirt road later tonight.. lol lol

I once saw a sign that said "The time you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted time" and I took it to heart. Every day I make time just for me to do something I enjoy. Different day, different thing. One day it'll be just sitting and listening to my favorite music for a while, another day it'll be reading a good book. Since we moved here, it always involves losing myself in the Pacific Ocean and just watching the waves, etc. That one is extremely good for meditation, especially when combined with music.

PatriciafromCO--quick question--Is that a picture of you with your horse?

 

[PatriciafromCO]

Dolphin I agree, the quiet time,, How perfect you have the ocean all the sounds and smells .. easily get lost for hours just sitting there enjoying it..


Yes in the picture ,, it's my baby Clydesdale Johnny,,, lol ((when)) he was a baby.... Too funny we use to walk around together with my arm drapped over his back, now his back is about 5 inches taller over my head.. and I'm 5'9".. I love him and Bob an older clydesdale I got two years ago, they such a cool breed..

My time at the computer, with my pass through and a cup of coffee, that's my ME time. And I love it.

Isle of Eden sugar scrubs, body butters, bath creams...oh my...I LOVE this stuff. It lasts for ages, but since I use it daily, I get a great variety. These products are made to order, and DO take a while to get, but my oh my are they worth it! (not affiliated, just a happy customer...blah blah blah) You gals REALLY need to check this bath stuff out!

I also get a 50 minute massage once a month. Heaven! I also have a personal chef (but I guess since I'm engaged to him that doesn't count? ;-) )

I also had a jacuzzi tub installed in my bathroom. Worth every penny! 2 times a week, almost as good as a massage, but I come out smelling mucho nicero!

Pamper is the key to being able to deal with the everyday!

 

[PatriciafromCO]

lol Ming you had me sold when you got to the personal cheif lol so sorry he is taken taken ...... that would be the ultamate must have happy you got the best of having your very own..... Will check out the bath products they sound yummy....

It's coffee for me too. In fact, I pamper myself every single morning with my big morning mug.
4 double shots of good Hawaiian dark roast espresso
about a pint of skim milk
a double shot of Hazelnut coffee creamer
and 3 coffee scoops of splenda.

very hot, very strong, and pretty sweet.
That's the big mug I carry into my home office every morning when I start work.
