And what did you do to pamper yourself?
For me, I can't answer my own questions. I can't remember. Wahhhh (no crying icon??) |

Cherisse, neither can I.
I know it does not help much, but may make you feel that you are not alone in that boat.
All the best,
Lucy. |

Thank you, Sigma! That is really sweet of you. I don't feel too lonely now.
Wow, I guess we have all neglected to pamper ourselves since we don't have too many replies. LOL
Maybe I should start a thread...."How do you wish to be pampered?" |

| I always try to pamper myself at least once every few weeks any way I can. I think it's important to make ourselves feel special. It can be as simple as savouring a piece of chocolate or better yet fudge, or running a nice hot bubble bath for myself with candles and wine, or giving myself an at home facial. Pampering doesn't have to be elaborate and expensive; it just has to make us feel important so that we realize it's ok to put ourselves first every now and then. |

You're absolutely right. I think women are such givers, and we so very often put our kids and S.O. first, and totally ignore our own needs. I for one need to TRY harder to do more pampering for myself. Hard to do when you're not used to doing it though. |

I try to pamper myself every chance I get. For me pampering is a good book, great movie, dinner out, or a new goodie from EDS  |

I just went for a facial a week ago? That counts as pampering I guess haha. Haven't had a facial in like a year due to all the school work load  Next up - massage and spa when I graduate in another 3 months time |

I think pampering is just what you would consider pampering. So the actual definition would be HOW you would define it. What would make YOU feel pampered? 
To me, I define it as going to get a massage or get a manicure/pedicure or get a facial.
But as Wildflower and Rufus pointed out, it doesn't have to be elaborate. Sitting in a candle-lit bathroom taking a nice hot bath filled with scented oil could be pampering, too. Or reading a good book. I think it's something you do just for yourself and no one else and it feels relaxing to you. |

I've only been to a spa once b/c I got a GC for a massage. I have never had a facial done. I've done the manicure/pedicure thing only in Thailand since it's so cheap ($2 for the whole thing). So I guess I've been neglecting to pamper myself a lot. Maybe I just need to expand my def'n of pampering. I can relax in a hot bath in my jacuzzi and read a book. Hmm...interesting. |

lol, hot bath in your jacuzzi and a book isnt much of a pampering session! i always thought pampering was: go in looking ugly, come out looking beuatiful, with radiant, healthy, smooth skin!!!
$2!!!! wow, i keep saying im gonna visit thailand, if only i was in asia for longer... |

Yeah for you, wild cat! Red is awesome.

| I've been pampering myself the past 2 days after a week of not a very comfortable traveling. As soon as I got back home I headed out to a spa for a nice relaxing massage. Then last night I did a coffee scrub before putting on an Osea White Algae Mask and having a nice warm bath while sipping on my white wine, listening to some Nina Simone Also having my boyfriend topping up my wine glass for me was a big plus |

Sounds like you deserved it after what he said to you. Good job, girl. When I was in Thailand, I loved getting a massage, and paying only $4 an hour was not bad either. lol |

| The last time I pampered myself was a long time ago! But I could really use a nice massage and facial at the moment I have too much anxiety regarding the outcome of my PhD application!! But seeing as my b'day is coming up soon, maybe I'll spoil myself |
