I’m not into self pampering. Don’t have a bath. I do walk and drink herbal teas as well as read

A great idea. Especially in the current financial market.

I take a bath and do a mini facial myself as well. Of course, nothing beats a yoga retreat or a full day spa experience!

I find that watching a good comedy or romantic comedy on tv makes me feel good. Add a small tub of popcorn and I feel really good!

Great Ideas. I like to add epsom salts and essential oils to my bath! So nice and relaxing. I also put a face mask on before I get in.

All of these sound so fantastic. I definitely have to give a few of these a go. I’m in desperate need of a good wind down.

We do that walks, but at a pace, minimum 3 ks in the morning, but gee, the summer heat is starting to slow us down a bit. So I turned my pushbike into a bike on a stand, inside, ride for a while, have weights and enjoy. Still great getting outside for a walk though.

Great tips, don’t wait for the weekend though, great opportunity to spoil yourself during the week, when school and work keeps the family busy. Love going for an early morning brisk 30 minute walk each day.

Nice tips. It’s a great reminder that we also need to take some time out from our busy lives and spend some time for ourselves.

No tips from me, but definitely needing some of these at the moment!

I love to take extra time for my skin care routine once a week. I cleanse, scrub, do a mask, oil or serum my face. It’s amazing how relaxed and happy it makes me feel after!

Reading is my major relaxer. I am an avid reader.

If only I had some time to myself this would be great! The minute I turn on the bath my sons wanting to get in

actually taking the time to sit and finish a cuppa, rather than always on the run.

we all need some “me time”. thanks for the suggestions.

Great suggestions although would add massage and connection for a retreat. I would call this more self care Part of what I most enjoy about retreats is connecting with new people – but I know that’s not an option at the moment.

I really believe in this and always try to do things like this morning had a online yoga class and a relaxing bath and coffee and bath afterwards

Agree with all apart from the wine (I prefer tea!) and pampering myself is more like scrubbing the hard skin off the feet after a soak than anything else! And I’d add massage – even a cheap device for backs or hamstrings so you can sit back and enjoy the muscles being eased. And maybe heat, a hot water bottle or infrared lamp.

We certainly have more time on our hands ATM, so I think a day spent with a little pampering would be good for the soul! Thanks for the ideas!

Yes! Self care is so important and it’s true you don’t have to spend tones of money. A soak in the bath with a good book and a nice bush walk.
