Life is getting crazy these days and we need to set aside some alone time to recoup. What are some things you do to refresh your mind and give your spirit a little lift?

Well, it doesn't probably sound much like 'pampering' but when I need to refresh my mind or give myself a lift, rearranging and/or cleaning a room always does the trick. If I'm just pampering myself then I like to curl up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. Or maybe a jigsaw puzzle and a cup of creamy hot sweet tea. Sometimes I put olive oil or mayonnaise in my hair and braid it, or massage sesame oil on my hands and feet, giving my cuticles extra attention... but that often doesn't make me feel refreshed, it just makes me feel guilty that I don't do it more often!

You sound like me. When my home is organized and really clean, it makes me feel very relaxed. I love the other things you listed too. I'm a big tea drinker, as well and the olive oil and mayonnaise trick sounds like something I should definitely try.

well, to pamper myself, i just sleep...and sometimes, i go to restaurants and eat some new foods regardless of price...i am usually thrifty so it is unusual for me to spend a lot..

They say that food feeds the soul, so I suppose what better way than fine dining to pamper yourself.
