Pamper Monday – Who’s a little sweetie?

Last week I was pampering my tootsies and – hooray, hooray – we’ve finally been rewarded with some spring weather, my new sandals have had an airing and the first daffs and tulips are shooting up in the garden before our very eyes πŸ™‚

But, as usual on a Monday, I’ve got another pamper idea for you up my sleeve. Or should I say in my handbag..?

I’m not a huge fan of sweets (candy, for all you US peeps) but I love a little bit of chocolate and tend to go overboard – oopsie! I especially love chocolate in the afternoon or (for some reason) when I’m at a rock concert. I’m infamous in my circle of friends for producing a giant box of After Eights, a Tupperware box full of M+Ms or a cellophane bag full of homemade chocolate fudge when standing having a beer at the bar. Here’s a little peek at what we’ll be enjoying at tomorrow night’s Ultravox concert πŸ˜‰

But have you tried this killer combo? Macadamia nuts and chocolate-covered raisins? I love that it combines sweet and salt, a sort of trail mix for grown-ups πŸ™‚

The kids have got some dinky little plastic lunch tubs which I’ve pinched borrowed for my sweet treats. Just enough room for a handful…

I ended up with 9 tubs in all, so there’ll be one in my handbag every day of the week. And a couple for ’emergencies’ πŸ˜‰

The pamper message for this week? Remember to be nice to yourself because – just like rich good dark chocolate – a little goes a long way πŸ™‚ If you need more pamper ideas, I’ve got lots more of them here on the blog and the Flylady has a whole section on her website.

Have a marvelous Monday! πŸ™‚

  1. I am glad spring has come to your place πŸ™‚ Enjoy your chocolate – I love chocolate too, and I need a little bit every day. I would like to buy some of these cute boxes too πŸ™‚

  2. I love the idea of a little chocolate treat tucked into my handbag!

    Except for when it gets really hot outside…having an on-the-go emergency supply of chocolate sounds like a fabulous instant pamper treat to have!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm so glad to hear you got your new sandals out for a stroll!

  3. Hi Helen! You can probably find the containers where you live…they're made by RICE and they sell them all over Scandinavia, the UK etc. If you go to rice.dk they have a 'shopfinder' section πŸ™‚

  4. Hi Leslie! Fortunately the heat is not *usually* a problem here, tee hee!

    BTW, the sandals have been fantastic, understand why you love your ones so much! πŸ˜‰
