what's your favorite pampering?

[stellinacadente]

Today I decided that it was about time I gave some loving to myself!

So I surrounded the bath tub with candles, filled it up and added some White Tea Dead sea salts to the water and soaked to my heart's content!

Then, I used my favorite sugar scrub (lime and coconut) and completed the whole experience with Shea butter moisturizing lotion... 

I smell great!

Of course, some Korean or Thai massage would have been the ultimate pleasure, but hey... :mrgreen:one cannot have it all right?

How do you pamper yourself???

[Griffin NoName]

My ultimate pamper, which I have done rather than doing it myself, is a facial - a long over an hour one. I do this once or twice a year (expense). It isn't so much to have a smooth nourished face as for the relaxation - it relaxes me even more than a whole body massage (never been able to work out why).

I like boy scrubs too but my bath is too narrow !!

I like to sit in a bathtub of hot sauce and broken glass.

I prefer my own blend of vanilla & bergamot essential oils in a very hot bath, while catching up on non-serious reading. 



A nice glass of cognac and two Raspberry Milano cookies.

I think pampering yourself is necessary sometimes, of cause it's always nicer if someone else do the pampering, but it's good to show yourself some appreciation do some self-pampering now and then. 

My preferred methods: 

Fresh flowers, especially in the spring when it's tulip season

Sunday afternoons used to be home-spa days before I started to work evening shifts, I miss that...

Good food, depending on mood it might me anything from a cookie to a full dinner, home-made or bought.

Buying myself things. Sleeping until whenever I feel like getting up.

On holidays, I got some time to sit nekkid in the sun on a rock in the middle of a mountain stream, surrounded by old-growth forest.

That's pretty good pamperin' for me, that.

That sounds like a sujet for a very kitschy picture

OMG! Those are my favorite cookies!!! Never thought about having them with cognac though (my favorite liquor)...

sounds like you and I could have a wonderful mini break from reality together

isn't my last post formatting weird?

my reply appears like a quote and the quote is the post... how did that happen???

Don't sweat the small stuff in the 'pampering' thread, stelli.

I usually hit "preview" to make sure I closed a style or didn't clip a quote, but don't worry about it when you miss one.

Looky what I found:

This one usually does it for me.

That looks familiar... where is it???

I would be extremely surprised to the point of flabbergastedness if you had been there in person. It is a lake in the forests in the very south of the Swedish province Småland, close to the border of Skåne, some 40-50 km from the nearest town, Älmhult (yes, the Älmhult of IKEA fame). My family on my mother's side comes from the area, and we have a summer house there, too.
