The Pampered Princess

Yes - you did read it right.  I said WATER BOTTLE MASSAGE.  This is simple, cheap and it is a treat for two!  My love and I recently discovered this one.  Here’s how it works…

First, get yourself a bottle of Ozarka Spring Water - the bottle density and shape are perfect.  Don’t refrigerate the water - keep it at room temperature.

Next, warm yourself up with a nice hot bath or shower - you know the kind that leaves you with the need to cool down afterward?  Always in the past I would end a hot bath by laying down under the ceiling fan. 

On this day, I had a half empty bottle of room temperature water on the night stand.  I was so toasty from the shower that it sounded appealing, so I asked my love to roll it down my back beginning with my neck. 

You can’t imagine how nice it felt on my warm skin.  It was cool, but not shockingly cold - very nice.  We took turns for the next 30 minutes or so - rolling the bottle down one another’s backs and buttocks.  It was soothing and relaxing - a very nice finishing touch to our precious together time. 

I highly recommend it!

Who couldn’t handle a little glamor in their life?  I’m not talking about going all out.  The glamor I am referring to involves simple things you can do here and there to add a little glamor, sparkle, or *sizzle* to your every day life. 

 I like to do this by adding something with a little sparkle to my every day attire.  Whether it’s a pair of star-studded over-sized sunglasses or a shirt that sports a little splash of sequins, I like to add a little pizzazz here and there.  I may carry a sparkly bag or upgrade my pedicure to include the little flower with the sparkling flower.  It can even be as simple as sparkling body lotion to give my skin a shimmery glow or glistening deodorant. 

It is important not to go overboard, or take to a higher level of tacky.  The point isn’t necessarily for others to see and appreciate the glamor.  This is ALL ABOUT ME, really.  It’s a self-pamper of sorts.  :)  I am in touch with my inner diva even if nobody knows but me!

I think you could have fun with this one, by making someone “diva for a day.”   You could put together a collection of glamorizing items.  Some can even be silly.  What a fun gift for a girlfriend who’s knocking on that next decade of her life.  The price-range can be managed by the items that you add.  Keep it simple with sparkly lotion and sunglasses, or go all out with an entire collection of items.  You could even include some glamorous diva slippers and a pair of silky pj’s.  If you find something a little bazarre, it might make for even more fun!
