Ok Ladies, you’ve overindulged at Christmas, you are now broke and won’t be paid until the end of the month and you are pretty much feeling down and dull!
Well here’s what I want you to do…..
Dig out all those Christmas pressies you got, put by a Saturday for yourself and pamper yourself to death!
Items required, although they can vary…. depending on just how generous Santa or your friends and relatives were…. new exfoliating scrub, bubble bath balls or oils, face mask, exfoliant mitt, rescue hair treatment, shower cap, obligatory blow up pillow for the bath, new body moisturisers, scented candle, new girly CD, hot water bottle covered with knitted jumper, new bathrobe, PJ’s and slippers, new girly DVD (preferable The Proposal!), pedi kit, new nail polish, new outfit including boots and to finish off a half eaten selection box, phone number for the local Chinese and bottle (or 2) of wine.
Items banned: Men and mobile phones!
So let’s get started:
1) Go run yourself a bath adding your bubble bath or oil and light your scented candle in the bathroom in a strategic place so you can watch it flicker and burn whilst in the bath.
2) Bring your CD player into the bathroom (being careful not to electrocute yourself in the process) and begin to play your new CD.
3) Hopefully your ‘blow up pillow’ is already inflated (we don’t want any unnecessary exercise), now get in and apply your new face mask and rub in your rescue hair treatment, then covering with your shower cap. Relax and soak your troubles away for at least 20 minutes, adding hot water when needed, you don’t want to end up with a cold after your pampering session. The steam from the bath will have added benefits for your face mask and by putting the shower cap on over your hair treatment it keeps the heat in (it’s a much better tip than putting a towel on your head).
4) Using your new exfoliating scrub and mitt, rub away all those dead skin cells, making sure to really rub in a clockwise direction as this will get your blood circulating and fight against cellulite.
5) Rinse off your facial mask and also rinse your hair treatment out, put a towel on your head…. may as well pamper your hair today too and leave out the blow dryer.
6) When your CD has run its course and you feel well and truly relaxed, out you get and begin to rub in your new body cream (let’s hope your not allergic to it!).
7) On with your new PJ’s (if you’re like me and got a ‘onsie’ for Christmas all the better), dressing gown and slippers.
…………Blow out your candle…… I don’t want to be responsible for burning your house down!
9) Retreat to the couch and using your new nail kit, file your nails, rub in your cream and to finish apply your new polish…. which hopefully is something glamorous like Chanel or Dior… if not never mind, apply, leave to dry as you wait for the kettle to boil.
10) Fill your new hot water bottle with knitted cover, stick on your new DVD (as I said hopefully with Ryan Reynolds for an added eye candy treat!), curl up on couch and finish your half eaten selection box.
11) After your movie and followed by a snooze on the couch, ring the local Chinese and order your dins, open your bottle of wine… or 2 and relax for the rest of the night.
12) When you get up the next morning feeling refreshed and glamorise, put on your new outfit and boots and hit the January sales!
13) Repeat all of above if necessary…… remembering most importantly that you need another half eaten selection box!
