It's been a two week hiatus away from my routine of 5 minutes of free writing, but I'm back in the Stream of Consciousness Sunday groove. So here we go!
Today’s (Optional) Writing Prompt:
Describe, in detail, the way you like to relax.
Since I rarely have a day off to do absolutely nothing for anyone else but me the rare occasions I have to relax - what I enjoy varies.
Every 8 weeks I go & have my hair done which for me is a relaxer touch-up, or basically - I get my hair straightened. My stylist is usually trying new products on me, so it means I get pampered with extra deep conditioning & someone else gets to blow dry & flat iron my hair. Heaven.
That being said when I do my own hair it takes some time, so some Saturday mornings I shoo my boys - the big & the little & take all the time I need to wash dry & style my hair...including the shower & wash - I can be tied up for 2 peaceful relaxing hours. Bliss.
Late night pinning on Pinterest. Can't live without it.
Polishing my own nails - again a rare event - I don't often have the pleasure of going in to have someone else give me a mani & pedi. Maybe I get to do it once a year.
Waxing appointments - I won't embarrass myself by sharing how often I get to schedule these - not nearly often enough, but when I do, yes even having someone rip wax of your face can be relaxing - whatever... it's solitude.
Shoe Shopping - The ultimate stress reliever & even more so if I can find more than one pair I love.
Snuggling with my Munchkin in the mornings after hubby leaves for the office & before I make his breakfast - one of the best times of my days. Relaxing even when I'm not alone - it's a rare bonding moment we still have in light of our busy work schedules.
And with that my time is up... I know it, mine is probably the only post that didn't mention a glass of wine : )
