“Make your bedroom a sensuous place for refuge. Do your work somewhere else in the house, and decorate with your favorite colors and textures. It should be your own special luxurious hideaway.”
KATHRYN LAMONT
“Those who allow their day to pass by without practicing generosity and enjoying life’s pleasures are like a blacksmith’s bellows: they breathe but do not live.”

PATTY HELMS
“Treat yourself to the sweet joy of dreaming of beautiful things, a fabulous job, a fulfilling relationship.”

“Whip up an easy batch of your own bath salts. Inexpensive Epsom salts from the pharmacy will do; for a real treat, mix them with sea salt. Toss them into a Ziploc bag and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Shake the baggie until the oil is distributed throughout, and then draw yourself a hot bath!”
FRANCIS L. BAG
“Give yourself a scalp massage the next time you wash your hair.”
