An Evening to Yourself

Posted by singlemom

August 29, 2008 |

How often do you get an evening to yourself? Once a week? A month? Once every few months?

Wondering what to do? Don’t want to go out? Want to just be alone and relax?

My favorite way to pamper myself on one of those rare evenings alone is to start off with a hot bath, usually with bubbles or powdered milk added. Now, I know that we are not supposed to take hot baths, but this is the only way that I can get my body to cooperate with me enough to relax.

After I soak in the tub, shave and wash my hair, I dry off slightly and then rub lotion all over so that my skin is very soft. I braid my hair, make a cup of tea, and settle into bed for  an evening of reading.

Simple? Yes. Cheap? Yes. It does not take a lot of time in preparation, or a lot of money, to create spa moments at home. Just a little imagination, and you will come up with many ideas for pampering yourself.

My challenge to you?

Pamper yourself the next time you have at least a couple of hours to yourself.

    I did this last night. I didn’t wash my hair, but I so enjoyed the hot jacuzzi bath, the shaved legs, the soft sheets and my book! :)

    Sounds like you had a nice evening. We all need them sometimes. Keep it up!
