I showered, using my Paris L'Amour wash, lotion, powder and fragrance even if it is just Super Duper Clean-Up Day. And when I'm done with that, I might well get Chinese :).
|
relaxed with coffee
took a long walk with my dog and got to mtg |
Myself
Had a great day with my buddy K.
|
I slept in, decided it was a day to be lazy and to only distract myself with projects or activites that I WANT to get out of the way.
Cooking, organizing and starting taxes are all on the list but it isn't being done in a manner that will stress me out. It's all very relaxed and I will do it as I please for tonight. |
Done
1)Taking extra good care of myself.2) Saying no no no no.

Self administered pedi/mani. Black glitter polish on the toes of my super pampered and polished feet and clear on fingers of my, slightly drier than I'd like, hands. Having my hands in water 50 times a day and the bitter cold, biting winter winds don't help with that. Got to get myself some better kitchen gloves..... (or wear the ones I have ALL THE TIME instead of when I take those extra few seconds...)
*After thought* probably more than 50 times a day and I am not a clean freak. :blink: |

I'd like to make a batch in time for my upcoming spa weekend 2nd/3rd March and gift jars of homemade hand cream to my two roomies. :) |

Another good method is to whisk a little of the oils into melted cocoa butter and allow it to set to get a 'hand bar' that you can carry in a suitable size tiny 'tupperware'. The cocoa butter would be a great barrier when used regularly/frequently if you have your hands in water a lot. Add a little blissful ylang ylang and yer cookin' wit' gas!! :winky: |
Ebay is your friend of cocoa butter. I don't think I've necessarily bothered with the deoderised stuff before. Food grade cocoa butter is what you're looking for.
In UK this the website I've recently discovered and can highly recommend their products and service. http://www.naturallythinking.com/ |
Thank you for the link! At a quick glance and I can see they sell pretty much everything I could possibly need to make my hand cream. And, reasonably priced too.
Better dust off my cauldron. :) http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292867565 |

Can I recommend that you have utensils dedicated to making such products. If you want a creamy texture for hands then look at shea butter or possibly mango butter. I've always had a bit of a problem with mixing oils and butters. Sometimes they seem to granulate but I'm not sure why. One day I'll work it out. It's why I tend to work solely with oils nowadays and just have the odd pure cocoa butter 'muffins' for hands (yup, I really do set them in a mini muffin tin). ps. with the link. Unless you're paying for next day delivery or some such I recommend choosing the cheapest of the postage options, it doesn't seem to make a difference to how quickly it arrives unless you pay scads more. Also found that orders made later in the working week seem to arrive more quickly for some reason...that's my experience anyway. |
I can't imagine wanting anything badly enough to pay scads more for delivery, ever. :blink:

I was *brutally* honest with my roommate this morning, something I usually am not. I would rather run from confrontation but she had me so mad, I had to let her have it. It feels good to have that off my chest!!!!

Had a lovely time here http://www.oaklandsmuseum.org with a lovely friend.
|
I have turned the lights off and am hiding in my chair..today was HORRIBLE! I am protecting myself from the rest of the day!
|
I turned up the radio in the car and just let it all out! I also made myself a good lunch and took a few minutes on my break to sit back with a magazine and a cup of tea.
|
I just deleted Chefville from my FB. There are too many other things I could be doing for myself, and I can find other ways to unwind from work.
For example, after taking care of the pets, and home chores, I could unwind with a glass of wine and a good book. |
I got up, did some work around my space to feel decluttered, organized and calm, made myself a nice meal, motivated myself into working for awhile and then I relaxed!!!!
I even spent time with my friends without multi tasking *laughs* |
