I showered, using my Paris L'Amour wash, lotion, powder and fragrance even if it is just Super Duper Clean-Up Day. And when I'm done with that, I might well get Chinese :).
|
relaxed with coffee
took a long walk with my dog and got to mtg |
Myself
Had a great day with my buddy K.
|
I slept in, decided it was a day to be lazy and to only distract myself with projects or activites that I WANT to get out of the way.
Cooking, organizing and starting taxes are all on the list but it isn't being done in a manner that will stress me out. It's all very relaxed and I will do it as I please for tonight. |
Done
1)Taking extra good care of myself.2) Saying no no no no.
|
Self administered pedi/mani. Black glitter polish on the toes of my super pampered and polished feet and clear on fingers of my, slightly drier than I'd like, hands. Having my hands in water 50 times a day and the bitter cold, biting winter winds don't help with that. Got to get myself some better kitchen gloves..... (or wear the ones I have ALL THE TIME instead of when I take those extra few seconds...)
*After thought* probably more than 50 times a day and I am not a clean freak. :blink: |

I'd like to make a batch in time for my upcoming spa weekend 2nd/3rd March and gift jars of homemade hand cream to my two roomies. :) |

Another good method is to whisk a little of the oils into melted cocoa butter and allow it to set to get a 'hand bar' that you can carry in a suitable size tiny 'tupperware'. The cocoa butter would be a great barrier when used regularly/frequently if you have your hands in water a lot. Add a little blissful ylang ylang and yer cookin' wit' gas!! :winky: |
Ebay is your friend of cocoa butter. I don't think I've necessarily bothered with the deoderised stuff before. Food grade cocoa butter is what you're looking for.
In UK this the website I've recently discovered and can highly recommend their products and service. http://www.naturallythinking.com/ |
Thank you for the link! At a quick glance and I can see they sell pretty much everything I could possibly need to make my hand cream. And, reasonably priced too.
Better dust off my cauldron. :) http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292867565 |

Can I recommend that you have utensils dedicated to making such products. If you want a creamy texture for hands then look at shea butter or possibly mango butter. I've always had a bit of a problem with mixing oils and butters. Sometimes they seem to granulate but I'm not sure why. One day I'll work it out. It's why I tend to work solely with oils nowadays and just have the odd pure cocoa butter 'muffins' for hands (yup, I really do set them in a mini muffin tin). ps. with the link. Unless you're paying for next day delivery or some such I recommend choosing the cheapest of the postage options, it doesn't seem to make a difference to how quickly it arrives unless you pay scads more. Also found that orders made later in the working week seem to arrive more quickly for some reason...that's my experience anyway. |
I can't imagine wanting anything badly enough to pay scads more for delivery, ever. :blink:
|
I was *brutally* honest with my roommate this morning, something I usually am not. I would rather run from confrontation but she had me so mad, I had to let her have it. It feels good to have that off my chest!!!!

Had a lovely time here http://www.oaklandsmuseum.org with a lovely friend.
|
I have turned the lights off and am hiding in my chair..today was HORRIBLE! I am protecting myself from the rest of the day!
|
I turned up the radio in the car and just let it all out! I also made myself a good lunch and took a few minutes on my break to sit back with a magazine and a cup of tea.
|
I just deleted Chefville from my FB. There are too many other things I could be doing for myself, and I can find other ways to unwind from work.
For example, after taking care of the pets, and home chores, I could unwind with a glass of wine and a good book. |
I got up, did some work around my space to feel decluttered, organized and calm, made myself a nice meal, motivated myself into working for awhile and then I relaxed!!!!
I even spent time with my friends without multi tasking *laughs* |
Made a clear list of things I dont want and wont do in relationships next time
|
I am letting myself enjoy today without overthinking my age or politely declining people doing things for me. That is rare.
I am going to relax, have a drink and celebrate the way I want later without feeling guilty about it. I am indulging in good food, these gifts and enjoying the company of my friends for the entire evening OR until I get overwhelmed and I decide I need to do a few self care things. |
I let go of something that's been causing me stress... when I let it go, I was able to smile and relax. It was a small something, but the stress it caused was big. When I let it go, I told myself 'if tomorrow holds the news I expect, I will deal with it as it comes...not let the stress win now."
|
Exfoliated my whole body. I feel terrific!!:cheer:
|
Been to a meeting
Phoned another fellowship member for a little support. |
I did it...I cleaned out the fridge and removed temptation. It felt good to get past my procrastination stage and process a few things.
|
I remembered to bring home 24 cheese & jalapeno tamales, and then but them in the freezer so that I don't go hog wild on them, and eat them in a week. Moderation, moderation!!!
At the discount grocery store, I picked up some new shampoo and conditioner that is cruelty-free, 100% organic, made in the U.S.A., smells awesome, and is bottled in recycled plastic. Cheap too!! I patted myself on the back, because despite feeling like doo-doo, I worked 12 hours today, talked to 120 people, and pre-made up time, that I am going to lose tomorrow when I leave early for an appointment with my surgeon. Go me!!! |
Done
Put ear-plugs in my roomate cant sing. She was singing Do you wanna touch me there. She really needs a boyfriend soon. Otherwise im scared what she will do singing that song. (lol) Maybe she should go to local cowboy bar. Save a horse ride a Cowboy. (lol)
|
I put on my mismatched pajamas and cozy fleece robe as soon as I got home from work.
|
no matter how exhausted I am or how tempting the thought ...
rather than going out to eat as the thought hit on my way home that I'd love a big fat cheeseburger, fries and a loaded appetizer from Friendly's... I came home and lit my grill with mesquite coals to grill lean steak and fresh mushrooms ...instead of fighting traffic and just vegging out on the couch after burger and fries... I'm comfy in my warm pjs, on porch enjoying fresh air ..waiting on the coals and anxious for my yummy dinner that won't make me regret the calories or that bloated feeling ... it's chilly out but sitting by the flames in my own peaceful space can do wonders... |
I'm off to get a mani and a pedi. :D
|
I took a bubble bath, relaxed with some movies and had some serious down/self-care time.
Now I am indulging in wnigs and chocolate. |
cuz I deserved it
I had a long soak in a hot bath after I sprinkled two packs of "soothing bath treatment " and stepped out smelling like oatmeal cookies ...
then I had a glass of Raspberry Verde while enjoying a rare movie night with a buddy ... |
I trimmed my bangs, washed my hair and shaved.
Trust me, that's all I was going to be able to do today. |
I took a shower..made myself something to eat...banged my head against the wall...and yeah that was enough for me today
|
I allowed myself a little browsing time for artsy stuff at the Goodwill, then created a few pretty things with the spoils!
|
I finally ate something after a few days of not being able to.
|
Took a nice long bubble bath after a long weekend out of town.
|
I'm making the active choice to be passive. I have a ton of stuff to do but I'm choosing, since this week will be crazy, to just relax and 'be'.
|
hmm my hot tub is being delivered today so if it warms up enough by this eve ill be in it soaking away any woes
