Ok.. I'm 24 years old. I live with my parents, and I have no job. I take care of my sister's 3 kids who have been placed here due to her and her husband not making the best decisions.
They are 18 months, 3 and 7 years old. All of them are very intelligent, and the 7 year old has horrid ADHD (which as of now is untreated, but we are working on that).
I get very little time to myself, but when I do:
1.) I love a good cup of Darjeeling tea while listening to some music and just sitting there lost in my own mind.
2.) I am absolutely enthralled by a long soak in the tub (but our tub isn't big enough).
3.)When no one is home, I get downright feminine with my skincare and hygiene. I'll take an hour or two and shave (with hot towels and the whole 9), I take a long hot shower and then exfoliate/give myself a facial, and if I can find all of the stuff I give myself a manicure and pedicure.
4.) Almost nightly, I lay completely naked in my bed and just enjoy not having to worry about anything... I'm usually laying there waiting for my sex toy(s) of choice to warm up, and then I spend a while just riding the rollercoaster of self love.
5.)Occasionally I get lost in a book. I'm not talking about hiding with a book.. I mean I will sit down and start reading and it's like nothing around me matters.
6.)I keep great company (online for the most part, as my local friends schedules rarely line up with mine), and I try to have meaningful conversations everyday with any of them that want to talk. There are a couple of members here (they'll know who they are without me saying names) that have done wonders for my mental stability in this very trying situation.
7.)Teaching myself new things. Learning a new sex trick, teaching myself HTML, trying to write an app for Android, etc. I just try to better myself constantly.
8.) Eden.
I realize that a lot of these things won't count as "pampering" in the sense that I think you meant, but they count for me. I do all of these things to retain some semblance of normalcy, and I love every second of the time I get to spend taking care of myself.
