pampering

It’s a little like eating at those restaurants where you find your napkin refolded whenever you come back from the restroom — at some point, such determined pampering becomes oppressive.

From extreme pampering to dog-friendly patios, Los Angeles is a dog town, no bones about it.

I researched boutique cruise lines and landed on one with a reputation for gourmet meals and pampering.

Even on Mother’s Day — the day dedicated to relaxation and pampering for moms — the Sparks will take the hardwood in Torrance, sweating through defensive sets, refining footwork and hitting jumpers.

When they compliment my nails or I compliment theirs — there is a sense that we get the experience of pampering ourselves and feeling connected to a larger sense of self.
