{Inspiration Workshop! — week #6, pamper yourself}

July 7, 2011 · 12 Comments
Filed Under: Inspiration Workshop!

It’s Thursday, so that means it’s time for week #6 of the Inspiration Workshop! Each Thursday we meet right here to share our take on the weekly prompt. It’s amazing to see everyone’s excitement on twitter, facebook, and of course their blog post link-ups — yeow!

The prompt ~

This week’s Inspiration Workshop! prompt is PAMPER YOURSELF. Someone recently asked me how many hours I work a day with sewing/blogging, and my answer – without hesitation, was 12. TWELVE. The more I looked at that number the more I felt that this prompt was super important. I can’t wait to see all the amazing ways you pamper yourself, too… Fun!

My inspiration ~

I love pretty scents: refreshing, clean, “ahhhhhhh…” scents. The smell of fresh laundry, clean hair {hah! but seriously.}, Mrs. Meyers dish soap filling up the kitchen sink. Cucumber, aloe, eucalyptus, mint, lavender ~ these types of scents relax me.

But, HOW do I relax? My favorite way is with aromatherapy candles, bath soaks, nail polish and a good book…

…and fresh flowers! Taking time to pamper myself is one of the most important things I can do. When it’s chilly out I love to drink tea; in the warmer seasons I like ice-water with lemon. Plus, lots of time with Bauer outside year-round. Quiet time. Maggie time. Pretty time ♥.

OK ~ so now it’s your turn!

I hope you’ll join the linky party below with your interpretation of PAMPER YOURSELF. Consider visiting the 2 thumbnails listed above yours & say hello by leaving a comment… And you may just find your blog bestie or blog mentor *wink*.

♥ Let’s connect on twitter by using this hashtag: #inspirationworkshop

    Oops! I thought mine did not add the first time. Number 85, but it did, so if you want to erase number 86 that would be awesome. Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing! This is definitely a great reminder, especially for work at home women. I stay home with my son and run my etsy shop, but sometimes I feel guilty pampering myself (I guess because I stay home most of the time–even though I’m definitely not relaxing:). Thanks!
