What are the small things that you do to pamper yourself?

[Okiedokes]

When you are having a bad day or just plain feel down, what small things do you do to cheer yourself up?

 

[Parabolani]

Cup of tea in the sun.
I sound like an old person.

 

[Sci-Fi]

Buy something I want but really don't need.

 

[Barbaloot]

Chemical peels, new clothes, new toiletries, watching ridiculous TV shows I don't like anyone to know I actually watch.

 

[Rayri]

eat.

 

[VanillaCreme]

I grab a vanilla Coke, pop open that can, and inhale the wonderful fragrance inside of that lovely can. Then I take a sip and savor...

Really... I love vanilla. I'll even drink vanilla Pepsi.

 

[Tiina63]

Hit the chocolate/cakes.

 

[fuzzybutt]

Listen to nice music. Play some Total War. Drink soda. I barely drink soda.

I was thinking about this a lot lately, how I use little stuff in life to kind of soothe the problems/pain I have. Even though I don't think I am a materialist person (I don't need fancy things to be happy) some of what I do to soothe myself is buying items.

So here it is...what I do (almost everyday) to deal with life:
*Go online read about other people's problems, visit blogs I like, visit Amazon to read reviews of books or videos I might want. Visit this website. Amazing how nurturing the net can be.
*Read inspiring books.
*Do Tarot/Oracle cards (this is a very new thing).
*BUY more books.
*Buy clothes or shoes.
*Sew
*take a bike ride

When I am ambitious and have the time I'll get out of town and see something new. Maybe some nature.

I think taking a nice bath is always a good treat, sometimes i just make myself a great bubble bath or use some nice bath salt and stay there for ages.
I also find cooking something for myself really therapeutic. But getting your favourite meal from a take away can do the trick too.

Sometimes i just put on some music and crawl up under my blanket and stay there

 

[Mientjee]

I would get myself some nice chocolate <3
Or else I buy on eBay some nice stuff for my hobbies.

 

[blackdot]

Go to bed.

 

[Sailor Moon]

The small things I do to pamper myself is exercising, Watch NHK or TLC...Dance to my favorite songs or sing to them....sounds silly but when I'm either really happy or really mad...I clean stuff.

 

[wolf359]

Agreed, sleep. Or ice cream...

Sometimes i just put on some music and crawl up under my blanket and stay there

This. It's so relaxing to be under the warm blanket and just listen good music. ^_^

I also enjoy eating chocolate or drinking hot coffee and reading some good book. Sleeping helps a lot too.

Dr Pepper. Junk Food. Games. Work Out. Go Out. Lotsa things!

I will have the good tea.. always I drink tea, but these times I have the expensive tea usually trying to save. Rose tea, jasmine tea, spiced tea are in my favorites.

Another.. I will light a candle. I chose the soy candles but those are expensive so I do not light it all the time, but I do as a treat and comfort.
