I am pretty low maintenance really. I don't go to the salon. R trims the back of my hair and I do my bangs, and my hair is it's natural color. I don't get manicures because my nails will grow quite long on their own, but I usually cut them down so I don't break them while working. I rarely get facials because I know how to do my own. For being pretty girlie, I don't do a lot of typical girlie things. But that's not to say I don't enjoy a little pampering once in a while.
Yesterday I went and had a massage. I got a sports massage because I was feeling pretty knotted up again and wasn't up to the torture of the chiropractor. I prefer relaxation massages, but this was needed more. Regardless I love going to the spa. I like the puffy robes and slippers, I like having someone treat me as if I am special and offer me a glass of wine even if I decline. (Which yesterday I did, and just had water.) I like the lighting, the scents, and the music. I just love going to the spa. It's my happy place.
One of my other guilty little pleasure is the theater. Live productions, not movies. I adore the theater. I would do both of those things every week if I could. Tickets and gift certificates for those things are perfect presents for me...or would be if I ever got those types of presents.
I really believe that getting massages and stress management are hugely instrumental in staying healthy. Of course yesterday, once again it was suggested that I try meditation to loosen my muscles and relieve stress. I have no idea how to do meditation. You would think it would be easy, but I can't seem to quite figure it out. I looked for a CD on Amazon yesterday for guided meditation, but there are soooooo many I finally gave up because I couldn't choose one.
Maybe a trip to Barnes & Noble is in order. That too is one of my guilty pleasures. I love the book store! Even if I don't find a CD...who knows what other type of lovely little treasure I might find!
I can also indulge in yet another guilty pleasure...Starbucks!!! I guess I just talked myself into going! See you later!
Hugs, K <3

Ooh, the bookstore and starbucks are definitely guilty pleasures of mine!
And tis the season of Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread Lattes!!!!!
Good for you,we all need to relax sometimes & indulge in what makes us happy! x
You have the same hairdresser as me, the other half for the back, our good selves for the fringe/bangs. Then a bit of dye now and again for the grey bits. Thing of all the money we save.
My little pleasure is home magazines, I love the christmas ones, eyeing up new decorations and colour schemes over a coffee.
I've never been a spa, they have them at the hotels on holiday, we go to Turkey. Turkish baths etc. Sounds just what you needed.
Have fun at B&N, Kelly! I have to second Heather's recommendation of the Gingerbread Lattes---mmmmmmm!
Heaps of Hugs,
