Yes, I'd have to agree with a hot bath - candles, music, the whole works. Were it drawn by someone else would make it even better! ;) Sometimes I'll get a special take-out meal, or go see a movie. More often than not I just give myself the time to not *have* to be anywhere or do anything.
Smelling nice rocks, that is for sure. Last time I got to take a long hot bath was at 2 in the morning. Kids take away from luxury. And we were out of bubbles, courtesy of hubby.
I have to agree with that I have just had one with all the smellies available, body polish , bath gel and in a while body lotion and creams .......such pampering :)
Pampering myself is rare. I tend to put other before me to the point of neglecting myself. I'm have yet to learn how to pamper myself. It got so bad at one time in my life that I was getting muscle spasms. The doctor told to relax. Lets just say, I stressed out on how to relax. hehe
I do like to read, watch movies and I like to shop for others. Does that count?
Curling up in a corner of the futon with a quilt, having a mug of hot chocolate (with marshmallows) on the bookcase next to me, and reading a much favored author. If possible, from start to finish of the book.
A good movie. A kick nap! Purchasing something nice for my home. Pedicure. Massage. A nice walk. Reading a good book other than academia. Nice, semi-warm/hot shower. Lotion that smells yummy after my nice, semi-warm/hot shower.
A nice bottle of wine....or...taking myself out to my favorite little coffee hangout. I get a 20oz double cappuccino (it has four shots of espresso in it. There is one barista who says "Omigod! Seriously?" so I guess that's a lot!) and either a piece of their portabella mushroom quiche or chocolate cheesecake. I take a book with me and get lost in it. Sometimes I take a notebook and write.
Usually food of some kind. I normally don't like to go to the trouble of cooking anything elaborate just for myself, but when I feel like spoiling myself rotten, I will. I usually include a well-paired glass or two of wine as well.
