Pampering at home... What do you do?

[SleepingLions]

What is on your list for a DIY pampering session at home?

Foot scrub, paint toenails, defuzz and fake tan, paint fingernails...erm possibly a bit more of an effort on the face, i.e. throw in a scrub and a mask as well as the usual cleanse/tone/moisturise!

Footspa- relax with a magazine while your feet soak and soften
Manicure- soak hands, file & buff nails
Mini facial-cleanse, exfoliate, tone, mask, massage, moisturise
Long warm bubble bath, candlelit
Drink loadsa water
Walk around in your dressing gown between "treatments" (feels like you're at a real spa!)
Play CD of ultra-relaxing music
Invite close friends and alternate doing each other's facial/back/soulder massage!

oo thank you... Just what I need.

Going to Boots shortly so I'll get what I need

Don't get to do it enough, but when I do:

Use foot file to file off hard skin on feet.
Long soak in bath with rose oil.
Exfoliate face and put on face mask.
More soaking.
Shave legs, bikini line, armpits.
Hop out of bath and into shower.
Exfolaite whole body and then rinse off scrub and face mask in shower.
Wash and condition hair and rinse.
Body lotion all over body.

Air-dry a bit and then lay a warm fluffy towel on my bed, stick the telly on to something trashy, get some snacks and drinks and sit on my bed faffing around, doing things like:

Massage face with rose face oil from Neal's Yard
Put Flexitol on feet and massage in.
Paint toe nails when Flexitol has absorbed.
Pluck eyebrows.
File and paint fingernails

I fake tan the next morning.

a total pamper would involve

cleanse, scrub and apply face mask
get in shower,
exfoliate,
shave all hairyness,
wash and condition hair,
rinse with white vinegar and cold water. remove face mask.
moisturise all over
apply tan
dry and style hair
do finger and toenails.

take a picture because it would be the last time i had a chance to do it all for a few years.

Ooh me likey this thread! A pampering session would have to include a good soak in a lovely hot bubble bath (preferably at night so you can have candles!) Definitely, a face mask and a foot spa and then a mani-pedi to follow. If DH's around hopefully I can bag a cheeky massage as well!
