What self care have you done or planning to do today?

[december2020]

DH and DS nipped to the store to get a few supplies (and to give me some me time).

I've had the full works.
Bath with bath bomb, face mask, shampoo and hair mask, full shave, full body exfoliation while watching Netflix and having a small beer.

Then full body butter lotion, face creams and oils and 5 mins with the face roller.

I feel like a new squeaky clean human being.

Soon to do the online food shop with a water (as the beer may have gone to my head a little).

Are you doing anything nice today? Or if you're looking inspiration maybe this thread will help!

My self care today is to not clean the kitchen like I should !
I’m watching a Xmas movie and eating chocolate cake

Had a really busy week at work so I'm doing nothing at all today. DH is cooking us both a roast dinner as he does every Sunday and he'll wash up and clean the kitchen.

If my overly full stomach allows, I might suggest we walk the dogs later but I'm not going to promise!

Had a king shower

Have got oil in my hair which I'll leave until tomorrow

Did my gel nails

Moisturising socks on my feet

Made a big pot of really healthy soup

Actually a nice day considering how awful the weather is.

Long shower FFS

I will probably do my bubbly bath Sunday thang later. Good chilling in a warm bath 🛀

I’m not sure if therapeutic cupboard tidying counts as self care. Good friend visited a few weeks back and presented me with late birthday gift of 2 larder cupboard storage tins. A bit big to post back when it was my birthday. I spend 40 mins earlier clearing out and cleaning bottom shelf of a cupboard and filling and installing the tins. Emma Bridgewater, practical and good looking kit.

Did a Zumba fitness class.

Need to do quite a bit of 'deforestation' wash dry hair, paint nails with a softpink colour, loads of lotion all over have a long flight soon must get cracking....

Love a Sunday pamper I took off chipped gel polish on nails god they are wreaked 🥹 then Bath bomb and defuzz face mask and hair mask now I'm wiped lol

Put my electric blanket on at 12.15pm, got some big triple choc cookies and a coffee, got into bed and read for an hour! 😀

Cleaned up everywhere. Made a healthy stew and having a bath and skincare in a bit x

Going to dye my hair purple in a bit and put Halloween nail wraps on.

Had a few chocolate biscuits 😂 that's sadly about it as husband not around today and have a v active 3 year old. Looking forward to catching up on strictly later.

Plan a body scrub, hair mask, face mask, hand mask and pedicure followed by full face massage and skincare

Yesterday I attended a cacao ceremony, 3 hours with like minded souls, drinking cacao, journaling and then an 90 minutes deep meditation with massage and reiki and then some chat. Today I met my friend and we brought our dogs on a walk. Tomorrow, hot yoga and brunch with same friend. Also made time for a nap with the dogs today.

Up early for my hobby. I'm a newbie so pretty hopeless overall but really notice the improvement (coz. there is so much room for improvement.

DH had an outline lined up over lunch so I felt completely free to enjoy. Zipped through a couple of jobs on my return and still had the house blissfully empty for a few hours til the hoards returned.

Overall a great Sunday xx

I love these so much!!!
I ended up doing a few chores in the afternoon and then we had a full blown chill in the evening with a movie and a bottle of wine.

Now going to bed in fresh bedsheets.

Bliss!

Can't believe it's Monday and a work day again tomorrow ah!

Sat in the lounge to do my knitting instead of on the bed. This is because when I'm on the bed, my hamstrings and knee tendons get overextended and I end up in considerable pain. It's harsh though, because sitting in the lounge is Unacceptable Behaviour as far as DCat2 is concerned. I'm supposed to be in the bedroom keeping her company! 😿
