Oh, I love being pampered. I love pedicures (manicures are a waste when you're constantly washing your hands because all that wonderful softness just goes down the drain), and homemade soaps. I try to use unscented lotions, mainly because if I use scented creams I can't smell anything else. I feel blind if I can't smell the world (even when the world stinks), and it gives me a huge headache. Aveeno is my go to "pamper" lotion, their Positively Nourishing line is amazing on my skin.

Surprisingly, I also like Vaseline and Bag Balm to pamper my hands and feet. I smear a thick layer of the goo on my skin, and slip on a pair of socks (even if it's my hands, I slip on a pair of footie socks that remind me eerily of the mitts you put on a newborn to keep them from scratching themselves). It doesn't smell great, and I feel like a walking medicine chest, but it makes my skin wonderfully smooth and callous free, at least for a short time.

I used to be all about the lotion, the perfume, the bubble bath, and the silks. Now, I'm thrilled with worn flannel and that trademark square green tin.
