Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Remedial massage booked for tomorrow @soul for a it of self care. Going to arrange start of chiropractic plan also at the same time. (Massage is at chiro office). This is a positive progression for me considering how much I value personal space and dislike spending money on myself lol. Massage was a big help last time so actually looking forward to this one.

Good for you @Determined. I booked an appointment to get my hair done next week. I actually spend more on my dog's grooming than myself.

@soul @Determined

I don't usually spend money on myself much either. Physical "pampering" doesn't appeal to me, but I'm plotting the idea of paying out to go ice skating. There's a pop-up rink that will be set up at a nearby festival over the school hols. I don't care if I'm likey to be twice the age of most of the skaters, it's something that makes me feel so good! And if anyone's looking close enough to notice the lines at the corners of my eyes, they're obviously not paying enough attention to where they're skating. 😉

(First "date" with my now-hubby was at a roller skating rink. You know the old cliche about the guy helping the girlfriend who can't keep her balance? Well, think role reversal. Mheehee!)

Sounds like lots of fun @Smc. Enjoy yourself.

@DeterminedI also think of remedial massage as a form of self-care. I get one once a month, although the expense is always a concern - I am on a very low income, even less from next week onwards.

It helps with back pain, which I have frequently from scoliosis. Also relaxing.

I first thought of it as a substitue for hugs. The Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends book recommends frequent hugs as a healthy & healing remedy (or at least helpful) - when grieving a loss.

I had no-one to hug, so a massage was the next best thing (I thought).
