The Art of Doing Nothing- Pamper Me Time

If there is one thing I know how to do, it's how to relax and unwind. Most of us get so caught up running around we never take time out to just do nothing. (***This article is not for people who usually do nothing and this does not excuse you to continue to do nothing.***) There is absolutely nothing wrong in taking time out of ones busy schedule once a week or every other week, so don't feel guilty.

These are some of my favorite things to do when I just wanna feel loved and pampered or just need a time out. Enjoy :)

Bubble Baths
Run a hot bath and drop in a bath bomb, bath melts or just some good ole bubble bath. Don't forget some scented candles and some soothing music. Grab a good book you've been planning to read or just drift off. But dont stay in too long otherwise you'll come out looking like a wrinkled walnut.

Full Body Sugar Scrubs

Aaaaaah, my absolute favorite favorite . . . . Body scrubs. There's different types of body scrubs but I like the sugar ones cos they get you feeling all silky smooth and there is nothing wrong with men doing this too. Nobody said that exfoliating was just for women. Now you can go to the spa and get this done if you want or if you really want to treat yourself but doing it at home yourself once a week is just as effective. And if you have a significant other get them to scrub you down. It works wonders, you feel great, you smell divine, and you look great too. (Oh, they always say apply to damp skin but I find it works better when its dry first.)

Laying in a Hammock 

Lol, Homer's been lounging so long the crows think he's dead. . . . I actually have never laid in a hammock before but I want to, preferably on some tropical island somewhere. Its just looks like one doesn't have a care in the world :)

Sipping a glass of Your Favorite Wine

The point of this is not to get tipsy or drunk o. It's just to unwind remember, to get "nice" lol. I love dessert wines and my top of the pick is a chilled moscato any day. A glass or two should do the trick. Put your legs up, relax and clear your mind.

When all else fails or you're just not into all the fancy stuff, Just lay down, close your eyes and clear your mind and think of absolutely nothing. (if you fall asleep after 15mins that's okay)

So all my workaholics, this one is dedicated to you, go take a break :)
