pamper myself

while attempting, to do massive amounts of Overtime from home…It has been frustrating at best..
So tonight, I bought, a really good candle, that made the entire room smell like fresh baked apple pie, found all my Christmas CD’s and it went much better…....So, I will try to keep in mind pampering is not limited to nails, hair and facials, but to surroundings

This goal is not going so well, I dont know what is wrong with me. I always put off doing nice things for myself and the things I do focus on like eating, watching TV and using the internet for hours on end equate to self abuse as I will only end up putting on weight.

What a rigid pattern. I dont know how to change this for good. What’s wrong with me.

I need to:

Give myself a pedicure

Wash my hair

Do some exercise

I like all kinds of soaps, cosmetics products and body butters etc.
When I’m stressed and busy, I often forget to pamper myself enough. Sometimes it’s sooo nice to take a long hot shower and use some lotions, facial masks and so on…

Throughout the years, fridays have never been my favorite day. I had nothing against it but it was always Wednesdays or Thursdays. This semester however, fridays have been my favorite days. The hectic week has ended and it heralds in the weekend! It’s friday again and Im treating myself to chipotle! A lovely hearty chicken burrito! It’s one of my favorite things as well.

today…I am facing endless hours of overtime, but I factored in the promise I made to myself…I kept up with my face routine, my nails….took a short nap….and read for 30 minutes….......
Happily I found a moisturizer that always gives you a bit of a suntan glow…well, who could ask for more!
I need to maintain a balance…..which I think I did today…
I felt much better when I worked my Overtime today…...
I am going to maintain that balance throughout the weekend, realizing I have other obligations than work, factor in my sons college break, my mom’s need for work transportation…so I will alot the lowest amount..and than if it turns out to be more, so much the better!

but it does not have to be extravagant or expensive….I mean little things, like drinking more water for skin hydration, using a moisturizer every single night, getting 8 hours of sleep, set boundaries when it comes to over time at work..Definately set Over time boundaries at work…..this is crucial, I can’t feel the pressure that they applied to me last year..in the long run I got really sick and ended up not coming out ahead financially on top in the long run….
I will still dye my own hair, cut my own hair, grow my nails long nails verses fake,
It doesn’t have to cost much, it just has to be important to me

.

I’m going to start getting my eyebrows waxed regularily now… it isn’t the act that pampers, as much as looking in the mirror every morning and seeing a more manicured face..

once i was in a really bad relationship and i never pampered myself. to me anyway this is like having a high regard for myself and treating myself well. little things go a long way.
