What a lovely idea!
I play some music to relax me, close my eyes and concentrate on my breathing, deep breath in, and long slow breath out. I listen to Medwyn Goodall's relaxation cd, just one track, but you could listen to 20 minutes of it.
I love Pixieblonde's idea to have a Pampering night! I've fancied the idea of having a Home Spa session, and you can find recipes for making your own homemade beauty products - face masks, soaps, shower gels, shampoo's conditioners, etc. It would be nice to do that, completely treat yourself. I would want to light candles all around a bath too, that would be really nice, scented candles to relax you. Sounds like heaven to me.
I also like watching an uplifting film to make me feel great. Another option would be to play a video game, or a PC Game. Usually something light-hearted and fun, but whatever you like.
Here's to being kind to ourselves more, we deserve it! :)

Hiya Aqua,
Was great to read your list of things that you do to treat yourself!
I'm trying hard to save money at the moment so I've had to give up things like getting my hair done monthly, going out with my girlfriends as often etc etc but I have found some things to do on the cheap to take care of myself and to be kind to myself:
Every Sunday my husband goes to a poker tournament so once I have put my baby to bed I have a pamper night, I have a bath, exfoliate, defuzz etc then I paint my nails, pluck my eyebrows, moisturise, dry and straighten my hair (and I dye it every few weeks at home). Also, Sunday is the day I change the bedding so it's lovely to climb into lovely freshly made bed when I'm all pampered and relaxed!
I really look forward to my Sunday pampering nights, it really feels like 'me time', it also gets me set up for the week ahead!
Another thing I do is visit the library once a week, I love to check out books about home decorating and dream about how I will decorate my house when I finally have one! lol.
This is a really good question, I hope I can check back and read some more ideas!
