Indulge

There are many ways we pamper ourselves; bubble baths, massage, manicures and pedicures, savoring a perfect piece of chocolate, etc. There are as many ways to pamper ourselves as there are selves (times infinite as we all have more than one way to do said pampering).

Here’s my favorite way. Room service. To me this is the height of pampering, of indulgence and of sheer spoiling myself. Dial the phone or hang the ‘breakfast in our room’ tag on the door before going to bed in a good hotel. Voila! A knock on the door at the appropriate hour and someone rolling in a cart holding china plates covered with silver domes, pots of coffee and cream, a rose, ice water and orange juice, a rack of toast and tiny little jars of different jams and jellies, crisp white cloth napkins and real silver. Room service is not something I get to do with any regularity, but, when I do, heaven.

So, however you pamper yourself, do it. Take a break, take it easy. Indulge.
