How Do You Pamper Yourself?

I'm just getting ready to head out to the nail salon. It's always something I look forward to. Everything about it from picking out colors, reading the latest scandal rags, and pure bliss having hands and feet massaged. I'd do without a meal or two if it meant I could get my manicure fix. How about you? What do you do to go to your happy place?
 

Well, today I am going to see my chiropractic physician. He has the magic touch! Can't wait to see him.
 

Once a week I meet with a bunch of friends (all women) at 5 PM for "happy hour," always on Thursday because their drinks are half price on that day. I just have one glass of wine, sometimes accompanied by dinner. Lots of good talk, laughter, good-natured companionship, and it's right here within our community, so driving isn't a problem.

That same bar has live music every Friday evening, mostly loud and happy stuff from the second half of the last century. People love to dance. And some of those people are in their 90's! I think community fun is a great way to unwind.

What a neat thing to do!
 
Every once in a while my daughters & I get together for 'spa' day. We give each other facials, mani pedi and back and foot massages. AND WE DON'T COOK THAT DAY :D
 
Since my daughter got married I have transformed her room into a perfect get away place for me. My son built this extra large desk for my computer which I also use for any other projects I may want to do.. I can spread out and leave it for another day which is a big plus for me.. I have my coloring books, old boom box for my music, a bed for napping, a large closet which holds my beloved photo albums and books, sewing and craft items. I pamper myself by retreating to this room when I can and have instructed anyone who is in the house not to enter unless they are bleeding, or the house is on fire.. I turn off the phone, There is no TV which I don't watch during the day anyway. This makes a perfect day for me. desk (800x600).jpg
 
Working for an airline does have its rewards. I get free air travel, so when I fly, I usually use my credit card points and upgrade my wife and I to first class. I try to put everything that I can on my credit card and pay it off at the end of the month. Points add up quickly and in some cases, I only need 30,000 points to upgrade us both to first class.
 
Getting into my recliner with a good martini and listening to my iTunes playlist on my home theater...
 
I love the idea of my own room...perhaps I would call it my library...even though there are books all over the house;) I would add a bean chair and fluffy carpeting. No pets or people allowed without an invitation. It would be immaculately clean and smell beautiful. The rest of the house not so much.
