Gardening is the best way for me to 'get away from it all' Then I must soak and replenish my skin and nails. Oh how good that feels…
I make my "me time" early in the morning when no one in my family is awake. It is at this time I walk my dogs, light candles, make myself tea, and I give myself a real facial before I go take a shower. I then read a book to inspire me to be grateful and just take deep breaths before I need to move on to the day to support my family!
I like to pamper myself with a massage and relaxing with a glass of wine.
We remodeled our bathroom to look similar to our dermatologist's bathroom, with a classic feel to it.
I do love relaxing in the warmth of the tub and just thinking about nothing aka "meditating". = )
Fill my soaking tub, light a candle and drink a glass of red wine and then just breathe
If my roommates aren't around being loud and obnoxious I love to sit and watch HGTV or the Discovery Channel and if they are around or somebody else wants the tv I retreat to my room and open the windows and enjoy the breeze and sounds of the city and the city skyline and the sky with a glass of wine or a nice craft beer since unfortunately my bathtub is too small for me to have a good long soak. Or I just love sitting around and watching Japanese Anime on my laptop while working on my art projects for school.
I like to sit in my comfy couch cuddle up to a nice drink, book, notebook, and tv right after work to just relax a while. To pamper my self I treat myself to a spa treatment, full body massage, then nice soak in the tub.
I like to sit out on my patio that overlookes the backyard and watch our two golden retrieversand our kitty play, while having a glass of wine and sitting on my new patio furniture. It is so calming to me with no phones or cumputers.
How do you pamper yourself? I love going to the nail salon for the french manicure & pedicure. Did you remodel your bathroom to mimic a beloved spa?No, unfortunately our bath remodel was done because of of a water leak. It was a time when money was tight and we remodeled just enough for it to look clean and functional. Do you spend your “me time” lounging on your porch with a glass of wine? Me time is spent sipping wine but it depends on the season where I do it at.. In winter, I take a nice hot shower, throw on my comfy robe, curl up on the couch with my not so mini, min pin and watch House Hunters International. Spring… after the shower, I go to my bedroom, crack the window and breathe in the fresh smell of spring flowers while laying on my bed, stare at the ceiling and think of all the things I want to do to my landscape. In Summer… Hot shower, comfy clothes, head out to the deck dragging the portable tv, sit in my lounge chair and watch Curb Appeal. In Fall, I take my shower throw on my sweats and wander out by the firepit to cuddle with the min pin. Of course if the house is too noisy I go over to my friends house with a bottle to share!
The towels in the picture even match my bathroom! I relax on our lanai and look at the water, life doesn't get better than that!
I take a very long walk …taking all the walking trails near by my apartment, enjoy the nature around me, the sound of the wind , the birds, and the water from the streams …the scent of the flowers blooming….and take photos of whatever inspires me….to me I am pampering my soul when I do this! Then after treat myself to a jasmine iced tea at the local Peets and relax !
I knit with cashmere!
I created a reading nook in my bedroom with a comfy leather chair, bookshelves with a built-in look, and over head lighting. When I really want to pamper myself, I make a good cup of tea, grab a book, and settle in.
I love getting a pedicure and back massage…nothing like having someone else rub you feet and paint your toenails.
A nice long bath with a candle and some relaxing music will do the trick for me.
A VERY Hot tub with empsom salt. Lavendar scented candles burning. Andrea Boccelli cd playing and a glass of red malbec wine. If that doesn't work you need a valium.
i relax by hanging out just me and my hubby with no kids to worry about, a very hot shower- with no kids taking it with me, or i sew fun projects- which rarely happens!
i like to sit on the swing on my deck and listen to the bird while reading my favorite book and sipping tea ahhhhh
A professional massage, then home to put the sweats on and pour a nice glass of wine AAAHHHH – nice!
After my son moved out, I turned his room into my "serenity room", complete with soothing colors, candles, a relaxing dvd of water scenes, soft piano music, and a small tabletop waterfall. I pamper myself by spending time in this room either practicing yoga or meditation. It refreshes me body, mind, and soul!
The way I relax… Is air drying after a long hot shower!! It’s a calming sense of serinity.I’m able to take everything from yesterday, and focus on my goals for today!
Pampering myself is pretty easy. I enjoy sitting in silence is a nature surrounding to release all of my thoughts, worries and stress. Just five minutes does my body good…but sometimes it's hard to find the five minutes.
Getting my fingers dirty is very relaxing….I work in my garden to get away from the teenage bickering and bossiness. There, I listen to the beautiful birds chirp away as I "scratch" the dirt for my next seedling. It is so relaxing!
To pamper myself, I usually fill up the whirlpool tub with the hottest water I can tolerate. No lights, just candles and music. Lean back and float away!! This 15-20 minutes gets me totally relaxed and my feet are ready for a pedicure. Then a good night's sleep. I use visualization to really take me away to an island, laying in a hammock, listening to the waves crash on the beach. Take me away!
I have a cozy nook with a comfortable chair,a reading lamp,and a big TV.When I can,I put on my sweats and some socks and curl up in my chair and watch HGTV or a good movie.I am also a magazine addict,and pamper myself by subscribing to an assortment of them.My favorite magazine,"Gourmet" was discontinued recently,and I was very sad.It was replaced by "Bon Appetit" which doesn"t come close.
We love to Sit on our back porch with our dogs running around and the grill blazing! Of course with an ice cold beer in hand!
Did you remodel your bathroom to mimic a beloved spa?
No, I remodeled mine to match the fabric on an Estee Lauder bag…a gorgeous dupioni silk. It's now time for a change….that silvery aqua of the new towels would be a lovely starting point!
I relax doing with my hands, cooking, gardening, refinishing, repainting. Take a cool shower, dry off with a fluffy soft towel and put on my softest T and shorts.
I light a candle in a clean house & watch HGTV.
Depending on my mood I usually spend my free time with my kiddo's. On the rare occasion, my best friend and I get together for a girls night in. We do manicures, pedicures, facials, hair treatments as well as pig out on junk we wouldnt normally eat and have a few drinks..lol. Our most fav thing to do though is go camping!!!
Getting my hair done at the salon is probably the extent of my pampering. I do enjoy sitting in front of the fire on cold rainy nights and having a glass of wine with my husband.
When I just need a moment to relax I hit the tub! Pour in some bubbles and get the water nice and warm, it's the best. Sometimes I really indulge and light some fresh smelling candles.
I'm in a renovation process right now. My crown jewel of it, the bathroom, nice large, deep corner tub…so I can soak in a nice bubble bath, glass of wine, good book, and music playing in the background. That's my little taste of heaven and relaxation.
I recently lost my husband & had to sell our condo. I am redoing an apartment in my daughter's hi-ranch. A lot of ideas came from HGTV, especially the bathroom with a large tiled shower with glass walls on 3 sides, sangria red walls with tiles half way up, & a vanity with a scalloped glass bowl sink. I can't wait until I can use the spray shower heads.
I pamper myself by spending quiet time doing either a jigsaw puzzle or if it's nice outside I like working in the flower beds. I'm new at planting flowers but so far I find it very peaceful and by the end of the season hope to find it rewarding as well.
a glass of wine and time with my husband is all i need to relax!
Soaking in the bathtub, champagne, candles and a little music.
How do I pamper myself? I fill my bathtub full with hot water and pour in bubbles and crystals and soak. When done, I dry myself with fluffy towels such as those from Sweetwater and lather on lots of moisturizer. Heaven!!1
To pamper myself I sit on my balcony among my many plants, fragrant vines in bloom (assuming warmer weather here, friends), iced tea in hand, my dog curled up beside me. I'll be reading a good book. That's all I need.
I am a full time worker and a part time student and a wife so it is hard to come by “me” time. On Friday afternoons I have about 2 hours to myself, sometimes consumed with school work and cleaning but other times I love to lounge around, drink a glass of wine, and enjoy sitting outdoors if the weather is beautiful!
I fix a cup of Earl Grey tea, add some International Delight Amaretto flavoring and climb into my jacuzzi tub (with just a touch of bubble bath) , turn down my sconces to a low glow, and relax! Ahhhhhhhhhh….it's amazing!
Pedicures! (Just got one today!)
I love to sit outside with a tall glass of iced tea.
To pamper myself, I first take off all my days makeup and hair products, take a nice hot shower, using special soaps and salts that I don't use on a daily basis. Then, I stay in my robe as long as possible and I make sure to get as cozy as possible in bed while I watch HGTV! Of course, a glass of a sweet Riesling is always a necessity!
I have my whirlppol, light some candles around it, take in a good romantic book and lots of bubbles. (Both bath and drink!) It is heaven!
Hot bath, bubbles, dim lights, and quiet music! There is nothing more relaxing than a bubble bath where nothing in the world can bother you…. until the water starts to get cold!
I like to pamper myself by doing a home manicure and pedicure after a relaexing hot bath with some bath salts (if I have them at the time) I also like to give my hair a nice deep conditioning treatment. I follow this by watching my favorite movie pride and prejudice
Sit on my balcony overlooking my backyard with a glass of wine and watching a movie on my laptop.
Watch my garden grow in my rocking chair with a cup of decaf and my feet propped up on the dog.
A walk with my dog, Dexter.
