One of my favourite forms of pampering and self-care has always been a long soak in a bath. I forgo the usual Lidls own brand bubbles and reach for something a little more up market. If I was to REALLY pamper myself, I light some candles and select some music that matches my mood.
Ah BLISS!
Yet pampering doesn’t have to take this form.
Anything that is a luxury and nurtures your soul in some way can be classed as pampering. If it helps you improve your sense of well-being surely that all that really matters.
An unexpected pampering session
For a couple of weeks now my friend Sue Johnson and I have been comparing dairies in an attempt to have a catch up on Zoom. It’s been ages since we last talked, and we were missing each other.
Finally, a time slot convenient for us both opened up earlier this week.
I’ve recorded a video about why this Zoom chat ended up being the perfect pampering session for me.

Practice makes perfect
It’s all well and good writing about things in theory: however, we need to start applying what we learn. Pampering, and self-care is about improving our well-being, and that includes looking after the relationships that are important to us. Today I’d like you to think about the friendships you care most about. Has it been a while since you talked to one of your friends? Are you overdue a catch-up? If this is the case, why not pamper yourself and give your relationship a bit of TLC. Arrange to talk or meet up in person and nurture your friendship
