The Comforts of Home


 
 
 

Well it has been a little while sent my last post.  With my life keeping me busy I just couldn't seem to find a quiet moment were I could sit and get all of my thoughts down on paper.  I know that you can write post from your Smart phone, tablet and the new lite weight laptop, but I enjoy using my old Dell laptop with my wireless mouse.  It’s a comfort thing.

I have decided that this will be a Pajama day.  This doesn’t mean you walk around the house with smelly and in old pajamas- it’s a time to pamper yourself.  Taking a nice candle light bubble bath using your favorite scented soaps.  Then slip into a nice caftan style lounge dress and don’t forget to put on a dash of your favor perfume and comfortable slippers.  Now you are ready for a cup of herbal tea and to plan out your day of what you will do around the house or you just may wish to catch up on some reading. 

While we are on the subject of comforts of home, have you ever gone on away for home for few days and missed some of your “creature comforts”.  The time to get these items together is not when you about to go away, but now when you have time to plan and be in a rush.  Frist, find a toiletry case my choice is the vintage skyway train case luggage suitcase make-up case for trips long trips.  You can find these vintage cases at thrift stores and online.  I also have a Vera Bradley toiletry bag that I can easily fit into my overnight bag.  When packing your toiletry bag think about your favor products you really enjoy using, make a list of these items and the next time you are in
Wal-Mart or CVS/Rite-Aide pick up the travel size items.  Also at the Dollar Store or Dollar Deals you can pick up toiletry bottles, soap dish and toothbrush holders. In a small Ziplocs bag place the softest face towel you can find and a the softest bath towel to wrap yourself in after a nice shower or bath.  I know that hotels and BB’s supplies towels, but it’s about comfort.  Travel Slippers the flat fold up kind you can get from just about anywhere pack those away too. 

Now in the age of Smart phones and all the technology all around us I still like to having my travel clock and portable CD/radio headphones and soon to be added is a Bose speaker.  Lastly, a suite case, overnight bags I should reflex your style.
