Question Of The Day. Saturday The 31st of January

Hello,

Can you believe it's almost February already? Some of us have been on diets or new exercise regimes for a whole month now. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere have had some pretty nasty weather to deal with. I think at this time of year we could all use a little pampering.

Today's question is What do you do to treat yourself?

I'm a big fan of hot baths. I love filling up the tub with scented water and plenty of bubbles or bath salts and soaking myself until the heat turns me pink. 

How about you?

I tend to curl up with a good book and ignore everything around me when I want to pamper myself.

 A good book, cuddled in bed under the electric blanket with the cats sleeping with me (and sometimes DH). I can--and sometimes do--spend hours like that.  When it just gets too cold and too snowy and winter seems to last forever, this is my favorite way to relax.

In the warmer months, I love to put my buds in, go for a nice, long walk, and just zone out to the rest of the world.

Sleep! It's so painful getting for at 5am some days and it seems like there's so little time to do so much. I will take any opportunity to cocoon myself in blankets and sleep the day away.

edit for awful auto correct

Pedicures.  Not just the 1/2 hour special.  One of those where they use all kinds of great smelling products.  With, a long foot massage included.  I rarely get manicures since they never last long, but I love having my feet look (and feel!) good.  

You certainly live in the right place for hot baths, @Norachan

I'm absolutely with you, though.  In winter here I just adore it.  In Summer, though I love to throw myself into the surf.. I feel so good afterwards.

So it looks like pampering involves some kind of water therapy for me...

I take a nap or read; even if it means ignoring some other things that need doing around the house.  I bought a few jigsaw puzzles recently that I'd like to take the time to do too.

I really wish I could justify treating myself to a few pedicures a year.  Now THAT sounds like a relaxing treat!  Reading, napping and puzzles are much cheaper. 

I too treat myself by reading a book sitting on the couch under a blanket if it's a cold winter day.  Reading takes me away from any of my problems and I read about others.  Watching a favorite TV show which I have recorded also is a treat.

I can completely disappear in my bathtub for hours. I feel more comfortable in there than my own bed. It's my safe place and it's where
I go when I've had a bad day or just need to relax. Sometimes I light candles but mostly all I need is warm water and maybe a good audiobook. Audiobooks are my meditation.

I love riding my bike, walking on nice spring days, and sleeping under a warm blanket.

Window shopping online.Can loose hours looking online,auctionzip,too.

Currently,looking at composters.

i treat myself by buying fresh fruit. at the moment i shop once every two months, so fresh fruit is something i see as a real treat.

also, when i'm overly tired i'll reschedule some things i had planned for the day and just have a quiet day relaxing and taking a nap. i see that as a treat.

I agree with a good book snuggle under a nice blanket. Add a cup of coffee or a glass of wine to that. :lol3:

I like to take me out to.eat and read good books.
