Pamper Sessions

Everyone deserves a bit of pampering now and then. 

It’s all about finding those little moments of joy and relaxation in all the hubbub and chaos of daily life. How about you? What’s your go-to way to pamper yourself? Maybe a spa day, a favourite hobby, or just some quiet time hidden under the stair with your chocolate stash away from the partner and kids? 

Here are some I do:

☐ Paint my nails. Normal or Gel. I like gels as they last a touch longer being bashed by wheelchair spokes, rims and walls. I also put little designs on them like ghosties or pumpkins or flowers. And if I haven't bashed my nails too recently I have lovely long nails to doodle over. 

☐ Ask for help to take a shower. Like, sure, this probably might be simplified to just taking a long soak or hot shower for you. But hay. It can be sexy. Or Silly. In my case I feel sorry for my neighbouring room that has a thin wall between her head and my wash room. Because me and my partner sing horrendously to each other earwig songs or are in fits of giggles. Bodies are funny things and did you know you can use your boobs to blow big bubbles. We are mature adults, like, obviously. 

☐ Take a nap. Like an honest to god PLANNED nap. No oh I slept in. or shit I passed out. I mean saying, "at 3 o'clock today we are going to lie down for two hours. We deserve it and we can tackle the kitchen this afternoon."

☐ Do some crafts and leave the mess for future me to sort out. Tonight it's all about the relaxing bits and bobs.

☐ Treat myself to a chocolate bar square or two, or line... Ssssshhhh, you saw noffin. 

☐ Listen to my whiplash music playlists. Because who needs to stick to one genre.

☐ Read an absolutely terrible book, a Necronomicon or get through some of that Ao3 addiction my pen friends keep enabling. It's unfair they're good writers. (Do I know the source material? Often not, but that's not going to stop me supporting my friends) 

What would you add to the list?

Silly little writings - Portsmouth Paradox

  A group of Portsmouth students kept hearing the Navy boys talking about experiments happening down at the docs. It sounded like something straight out of a Grimm tale, of monsters and petaled heads, that something similar had happened over in the States. After a few weeks of some lovely productive procrastination, four students decided to investigate, because do those papers need doing right now? So our four scatterbrained adventurers carefully piled into their bright blue car and headed down to the docks. Whilst the Engineer hummed the Scooby Doo theme song, the Architect noticed that a new building could be seen near the base which seemed so out of place. Lodged between the old crumbling infrastructure of Portsmouth, a large, Americanised building stood out.  At the top of the building where there should be all sorts of radio antennae, there stood a silhouette of a mechanised dome with a warm glow emanating from it. As they pulled up opposite, situating the car i...

Happy New Year! Welcome to my new blog with a Happy New Year, may your health be stable and pain be manageable.  Hi there, I am Ms Ditz. First name Disastrous. :P  I am 31, a Creative Writing Student and a Muma of two chaos gremlins. One of which turned 11 on boxing day. Wow - doesn't time just fly. I wrung in the new year with a snotty child pressed into my side - you know the type, "I'm not tired" repeated every few minutes and who falls asleep the moment the fireworks finish. - and another dancing like a wacky waving inflatable tube man. My own flu battling my PoTs (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and my aunt perched beside us, resting from the multitude of board games we had played over the last few days. It got me thinking about resolutions (how long this will last is up in the air). My son wants his friends to get along, my daughter is uncertain why we all do this and my own to actually keep up with social media this year - my course dragging me kicki...
