The Perfect Reason to Pamper Yourself

Filed Under Blog, Holidays |

What am I thinking about today? The holidays! I love the holidays. I view the holidays as a time to pamper myself. A time to surround myself with glitter, sparkle and music I love. This usually comes in the form of jazz. I use the holidays for all they are worth, to treat myself better than I treat myself all year long. It’s like my gift to me. This year I invite you to play with me!

I always start by buying a special lotion, one that I love, whose mere smell fills my mind with dreams of the perfect holiday season. This year Victoria’s Secret has a completely delicious collection, my favorite of which is Cranberry Crush. It smells like cranberry punch mixed with tangelos and apricots and reminds me of my moms cranberry bread baking in the oven.

Next I make sure I have two things, a candle and body glitter. Funny combination, I know. The candle is always something that smells, to me, like the season; maybe cinnamon or mulled wine. This way my environment always smells wonderful and the minute I walk into my house I am happy to be there. The body glitter is because I love to sparkle and this time of year I let myself fully embrace this. I even get a glitter spray or puff for my hair.

I always make sure I have a pretty dress, something I feel extra special in. And my naughty little secret? I always, always buy a pair of holiday panties! Something red, velvet or with rhinestones. I know this is hilarious and you might laugh, but with this special touch I make sure that I feel more special in this dress than I have all year long.

For the cherry on top I usually have a perfume that I pull out only during the holidays. It’s always something I adore, but also that is too amazing to wear every day. This is different for every woman, but you’ll find yours and you’ll start to look forward to it every year. The minute you smell it you’ll know that it’s that time of year that you get pampered the way you always wish you would.

Last, but not least, I choose a good book or a beautiful holiday magazine. This is my time for me, the time I get to be the one in the perfect magazine add we see all season long. I’m all curled up by a fire, happy and content as a kitty cat, drifting away to a wintry wonderland as I pamper myself during this special time of year.
