Take time for a little TLC?

My favorite pampering activity is downloading a few of my favorite shows on Netflix, and busting out the Ped-Egg. Ped-Eggs are roughly a $15.00 investment, but a life-time's worth of buffed feet. There is nothing like feeling like you have the smoothest feet on the planet after you watch an episode or two of Mad Men! Very productive television watching.
I love cuddling up with my favorite pillow and blanket and watching episodes of Grey's Anatomy or The Office! I also love to settle in with a good book on the couch (or by the pool in the summer)!
When I get my nails done, I have a quick 10 minute massage. It only costs $10 but makes me feel like a million!
I try and get a good workout in most days! It clears my mind and strengthens my body and soul for the day ahead.
I am on a mission to save money in 2010, and have done a great job keeping our family taken care of during these tough economic times and set backs. I always have pedicure looking toes without ever going to get it done professionally. I buy those little flower type nail art stick-ons and add them on at the end of my home pedicure (add a good coat of clear top coat to seal them on). I keep the kiddy ones for my daughter and use the more gorwn up looking nail art pieces for myself. I always get compliments on my toes, when I tell them its a home job they can't believe it. Super easy, super cheap and honestly looks just as good as the 3 times I ever went to the salon to get it done. That's how I pamper myself on a budget.
I LOVE A NEW MAGAZINE AND A BUBBLE BATH. MY HUSBAND WILL ACTUALLY ORDER ME TO GO TAKE ONE IF I'M GETTING CRABBY.I'M IN THERE FOR AT LEAST A GOOD HOUR!
I love to keep my hair colored and cut. There was a time that hair cuts were few and far between. Now I make the next appointment each time I get my hair cut. And make sure I budget for it. I wash my face with a facial soap in the shower and shave my leggs every day in the shower. And when I get out I put moiterizer on my face and a creamy loation on my leggs and arms. I need to do a little more for my feet. I do not feel they get the attention they need. I do keep them better than I used to. I need to add their special care to a daily routine. I also do not use a towel to wrap my hair until I am ready to dry. I use a terry cloth hair wrap that is made for that purpose and it cut down on breakage.
I love yes to carrots body butter! It smells so good and moisturizes like no other product I've tried. Costs more than most lotions and doesn't last as long, but is my splurge. I love it. Maybe vocal points could do a try and tell with them! (Hint Hint)
Bring the kids into the kitchen, blast some music not too loud, and dance dance dance. It is the best stress reliever ever and the kids get goofy and funny and think mommmy is the best dancer in the whole wide world. Talk about a confidence booster.
I take a bubble bath, have a glass of red wine, and settle in with a magazine. Oh yeah...don't forget the candles!
I get a pedicure every month. I know alot of people think it is too much money to spend, but I talked with the lady that I go to, and because I come every month, she gave me a 50% discount. SHe was really looking to build a consistant client base. Give it a try! I love my 1st Thursday pedicures!
I have a few favorite and free destressors: 1. I love to just sit and talk to my husband. Curled up on the couch, holding hands and just making mindless conversation2. I love to meditate in the back room with my favorite Celtic Music playing in the background. 3. I really love to sit on the floor and just play fetch with my doggie, Trouble, it is fun to act like a kid.
Paint my nails and toes ,have a glass of wine, and watch an old movie... I love "The Joy Luck Club".
I soak my feet in Epsom Salts in hot or cool water, sip a cup of hot tea or iced tea (depending on the season), play Andrea Bocelli on the stereo while reading a magazine or book.
Taking a bubble bath, reading a book or listening to music while searching the web will relax me.
I love having coffee with my friends. If we are broke, i can always make some coffee at home. Its fun to catch up with them and it becomes relaxing to vent about my problems.
i love to shave and pant my toes after i take a nice hot bubble bath!! i feel like i just came from the spa afterwards.
My favorite pampering activities include sleeping in, shopping for bargains and relaxing with my bf by the pond.
Getting pampering and relaxation is tough to get when your a single mom and on a fixed budget...but I manage to just relax on the computer after kiddies are in bed, earning swagbucks to make purchases for free, couponing is my real enjoyment to just see how much I can get for free....I love it in my way of relaxation knowing that my family has lots of great things for free and still maintain my monthly budget!!!
Before I had kids I used to love getting massages, facials, manicures & pedicures. Now, my favorite way to pamper myself is sleeping in!
I have 2 babies and have no time for pampering...my relaxing time is sitting on the couch redting after everyone goes to bed.
I pamper myself by having my husband watch the kids downstairs while I give myself a mani and pedi up stairs then go into my room to read the paper while my nailpolish dries.
Soaking in a hot tub after a long day!
Every few months or so I go to a late night movie (after 9pm so the kids are in bed before I leave). I usually pick one that I have been wanting to see, but that is not a new release- that way- there is nest to no one in the theater. (Ahhhhh....peace and quiet!) I make sure that I have all ready eaten at home so I don't have to spend money (or calories!) on popcorn and can just sit back and enjoy the movie. It's a nice getaway! Not too far from home, but far enough to take a needed break!
Go to the backyard and read a book!
