What is yours?

I am a firm believer in doing things to pamper or indulge yourself on a regular basis. It doesn't have to be expensive or outrageous. Some people like to get a massage; some like a shopping trip; some like to just soak their feet while reading a good book; for some it's a trip to a nice restaurant or an ice cream shop; some it putting a new color on their nails; or burying yourself in a hobby. I'm not implying that these things take the place of the happiness that Christ gives...but I think you understand my point.
Right now I pamper myself with soap. You might be going "Huh?" Let me explain...this pretty much started when I worked at TJ Maxx. They have all sorts of different bath items that you cannot get in other stores that I have found. They had great big bars of French and English milled soap along with bath oils and body washes. The soaps I found smelled great and they were nothing like your Dove; or Ivory or Caress. About a year or so ago Aaron and I took a trip to Gatlinburg and stopped in a store specializing in bath and body items. I found a bar of Cucumber soap that I wanted to try. After I got it home and tried it I was hooked. The soap is made by Pre de Provence and I only know to get it by going back to Gatlinburg or ordering it from the web. So, that is what I have done, and this soap has become, what I would call, my "daily pampering".

Now, if you care to share...what is your way of pampering yourself or indulging?
