Tomorrow's a school holiday, being Good Friday. So today I came home, feeling all tired and sweaty, and after making my dad tea, I decided I should take a break of sorts.

Read Christina Rossetti's The Goblin Market. Took a nice, long, luxurious shower (because it's been far too long since I had more than a quick yet thorough one) with one of the special scented bath gels I keep for special occasions. Pampered my face with a couple of face washes that left it feeling nice. Realised that my hair really does grow fast; it is back to waist-length when wet. Stepped out smelling of pomegranate and feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Stood in front of the mirror, still dripping wet and in a towel, and decided that I felt beautiful and I didn't care about what others thought. Dressed in a soft, comfy brown T-shirt that says RELAX ZONE and green drawstring pants. Spritzed on my favourite sandalwood perfume, because I can. My nose does not only work at parties. I smell lovely. ^_^

Now I'm sitting here nomming on bittersweet dark chocolate - mmmmm - and looking forward to catching up on some good fanfiction alerts I've been ignoring. For tonight, my laundry, cleaning, homework and studies do not exist. No matter how stressed you are, taking some time out for yourself makes it all better. ^_^
