Make Them Jealous

Quick Tip

This week along with the photo, I thought I would add some ideas to get you started with a little pampering. We seldom pamper ourselves and it's time we started. Lets start with these three.

*Treat Yourself

Have you ever treated yourself to breakfast in bed? Instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you, head down to the kitchen, prepare something entirely different from your usual breakfast and then climb under the blankets with a good novel. Sounds just a little decadent to me.

*Silk Flowers

Give them a light spray of fragrance to enhance your bedroom. this is almost as good as buying fresh flowers each week. Okay, maybe not, but it is a lot cheaper. There is a shop nearby that sells the most decadent potpourri and an atomizer with the same scent. I stock up on these fragrances and change the scent of my room for every season. At the moment, my room smells of Kiwi and Pears. Perfect for spring.

*Ending My Day

Before we retire, the bedroom belongs to me. I spend an hour all by myself, pampering ME. One of my favorite ways to end my day is to exercise to belly dance music. It's relaxing and an easy way to whittle those stubborn inches from the waistline. Trust me, I have tried everything and belly dance is one of the best ways to target this area. This is also my time to read a chapter from a novel. This is me time and one of the most important times of my day.
