Helpful Pampering



Recommended Posts

Hi ladies (and men, if so inclined)

Just wanted to share something that's really helped me. I've felt pretty sick, tough recovery so far. Each night, I've been digging out something to pamper myself. You know, that stuff we buy, use once and then put on a shelf never to be seen again?

Well, I busted it out. I've been doing face masks, sugar scrubs, lip scrubs, etc. It really has helped mentally. Bonus, all that stuff doesn't go to waste!

Just wanted to share - I may feel like s**t but my skin looks good!

Also, I tried to put this in the "powder room" forum and it wouldn't let me?

I love that, and agree we should pamper ourselves. One thing I have never done, but am seriously considering, is getting a massage. Actually, there is a place near me that specializes in foot therapy massage, and I think I am going to "reward" myself with giving it a try.

This is the perfect time to pamper and remind yourself that you are worth this! Great idea!

@@*susan* I have never had a pedicure or a massage. I'm going to change that post-op! I have a ton of little samples from my Birch Box that I'm going to do this same thing @@rolosmom7 - great idea!!! I'd never use them otherwise!

Pedicures are lovely!!!! You'll LOVE it. A lot of what I'm using up came in my boxy charm box too.

Pedi's and massages are amazing. If you have a partner or spouse, go get a couples massage! It's phenomenal☺

I've never done one - think we might once my incisions are healed up. I've heard it's excellent.

Reflexology is wonderful, especially if not ready or comfortable with massage.

Massage is my favorite self-care reward.

I went to a spa earlier in the week and it's the first time I was confident enough in myself to have a massage and I'd seriously recommend it to anyone - it was absolutely lush

I also like full body sugar/salt scrubs. They're sosososososo good. Also, I've read they help with excess skin. Who knows if it's true, but can't hurt!

I'm an aesthetician and cosmetologist. If you mix up coffee grounds and body wash to a paste and use it as a scrub it helps with the skin. It's very invigorating. Supposedly it helps firm and tighten skin. It's kind of messy. You also can use salt or sugar mixed with your favorite body wash as well.

Do they have to be unused or can I have a cup of coffee out of them? I always wanted another use to them. Thanks

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
