I went to a spa for the day

  I went to a spa for the day is something that I never thought I would write or say. I am not a girly girl. I’m all for self care and am realising that I need to do more of it.
 To say I was skeptical before going was an understatement. The thought of spending the day sitting by a pool, using the sauna etc was something that I thought I might find boring. I am used to walking around a pool with the volunteering i do but the thought of me being the one in the costume judging myself and thinking that others were judging me was something that was getting my anxiety rising.
  Thankfully it wasn’t just me there today, there was a group of us. I also started a book - Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman. I didn’t get very far into the book but what I did read I liked.
  Sitting having our high tea in front of everyone that came into the hotel (as it was right beside reception) didn’t help with the feelings of being judged as our party were all in robes. The thoughts going through my head made it feel like there was another person with us in the group that had just joined us for lunch.
 We were each given a treatment as part of the spa deal that we got and as everyone else was choosing back or head massages I went for a manicure. Something that I don’t think was expected. Again with the judgement when the women saw my nails and what she might be thinking against what she was saying.

 Over all I am happy with today and the fact that I went and got into a swim suit and had a treatment. I think if I’d let it my stupid head could of made things a lot worse. So for that I am thankful that it didn’t and that I actually got to appreciate the day.
 Would I go to a spa again??? Surprisingly I would have to say yes I would but I don’t know if I would go back to the same place. Not unless they totally did a refurb and had appliances working.

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

Physical books vs kindle

where do you stand on this question? Physical books vs kindle ? For me I’m a physical book person but can see the benefits of kindle. I love walking into a book shop and seeing all the different types of book that are available. The colours, sizes, designs and even smell makes it more appealing. Feeling the crisp pages of a new book and knowing that you will be the first person to read that, to me that is what it is all about. With a book that you can hold you aren’t worrying about the battery running out. You know that you can just pick it up and start reading. There is also something very satisfying about finishing a book and seeing it closed in front of you. Don’t get me wrong I know that having a kindle has its advantages. You don’t have to carry a extra book around in your bag for one. And that if you do finish one book you don’t have to wait to get to the shops to get another. But does having a kindle really make it feel like you are reading a book? I guess the question wi...

Alone in a crowded room

   Being alone in a crowded room is something that I have been struggling with for some time. I could be sitting with a table of people and feel like it’s just them that’s at the table and that I’m not part of the table.    Would anyone notice if I got up and left ?    You try and start a conversation and the answer is giving to someone else and you aren’t even looked at when a reply is given. And with that you feel like shouting HELLO I’m here. It was me that asked the question. Are you even aware of what your doing ? Do you not see how it may look ? OR is it just my head trying to make me feel like crap. Because if it is it’s doing a really good job.     The noice gets louder and it’s sounds just like one person and not about 30. The want of putting your fingers in your ears and trying to make the sound that little bit quieter.   Sitting alone in a pub and you feel like your being judged but also very much alone. Do you interact ? ...
