looking and feeling good

Go ahead and have that facial, calamity, it may well be just the boost you need.
Been feeling a bit dreary myself, so had lots of my hair chopped off to the jaw line. Feel younger, brighter and, strangely, taller!

Agree with ffinnochio and would add that if you feel up to it, get out into the fresh air.
Have nice things to eat - if you can’t be bothered to cook, order something you fancy online from whatever supermarket you use. My mum always used to say a bit of what you fancy does you good
But take things easy until you’re really better.

I've just come back from back and neck massage, mini facial and foot spa (I won a comp) and it feels lovely - have a treat a facial is definitely great therapy.

thank you all - i may go ahead and book a facial somewhere (no idea where to start in finding the right one - any ideas?). i suppose i've inly just realised how crap i'm actually feeling about myself. i might make a head start and get a bottle of nail varnish out this afternoon and give myself a pedicure

Strangely, I have found a new dentist recently and he is slowly repairing and improving my teeth. This I find gives me an amazing boost. I had my hair cut and did not like it at all so did as other gns do and cut it myself. Lo and behold lots of compliments! Definitely, something that improves your appearance can really restore morale even bit by bit.
Next step is getting some weight off.
