A Little Bit Of Me Time

Me and Tom are in one of those "we work together" relationships. we also tend to spend all of our spare time together too! This might be some peoples worst nightmare, and I agree that it's probably not for everyone, but we wouldn't have it any other way!....In fact I feel very very lucky :)

Every so often though, one of us will have another commitment or a plan with friends and on these occasions I look forward to having a little bit of "Me Time" 

I think no matter how close you and your partner are, even if you live together. Making time for "Me Time" is absolutely essential! 

It gives me a chance to touch base with me. Sometime you need to be alone to remind yourself who you are, how you feel  and get back to center. I'm an introvert so quiet a lone time is something that I am really comfortable with and really enjoy.

 I usually spend my time doing some or all of the following:

• Stupid girly things like a nice long bath, maybe a face pack or hair mask, painting my crappy nails or if I'm really pushing the boat out, I'll occasionally fake tan. 
• Blogging, I usually take this opportunity to get a few blog drafts done, particularly sketchy ones, which I realize have been massively neglected of late! oops :(
• Possibly a little bit of internet shopping!
• Catching up on my guilty pleasure TV shows...currently under offer:estate agents on the job (on iplayer) I'm completely obsessed! :)
• And most importantly: giving Tom a much needed break from me! 

Plus the very best thing about me time!? It really makes you appreciate things. Not begin around someone makes you realise all the little things that you really appreciate about them (and maybe take for granted otherwise) and by the next day I can't wait to see Tom again!

I realised the importance of "Me Time" and getting back to center nearly a year ago now, I was going to include a link to a couple of specific posts from my most favorite blog that helped me realize this. However I decided in the end to share the whole blog as it is just so good! :)
