Women Need to Pamper Themselves

I'm not amazed at how many women weekly say “TGIF”! Sometimes there are just those weeks where there is never enough time to get everything done that needs to get done, and our weekends are booked with catching up on the things that we didn’t have time to get done during the week.  So WHAT IF, instead of running crazy your entire week or weekend you spent just ONE HOUR of “me time”.


Ok, so here is what this involves:

•First, you let everyone in the house hear loud and clear that you are going to take 1 hour to yourself. You have heard the old saying, “If mamma ain’t happy, then no one’s happy”? Well, no truer words were ever spoken. You inform all the children…yes, including the husband who can be the biggest child of all when it comes to being a little needy, that unless there is blood, they are to leave you alone. No phone calls, no “mommy I’m hungry”, no “honey where are my socks”, nada! This is your tiny slice of heaven and you are absolutely not to be disturbed.  Better yet, let dad take them all to the playground or out for ice cream.

•Next, you light candles and put the all around your tub. Now, I don’t know what it is about candles, but they make “me time” just a bit more exotic, wouldn’t you agree. Round up all the candles you can find. They don’t have to match, this is about you. Light them and put them all around the bathroom.  OR plug in your favorite Scentsy candle, and if you don't know what Scentsy is I have a friend who can hook you up with one of these awesome plug-ins!!

•Next, you need music. It doesn’t matter what kind of music, just make sure that it is something that helps you relax. Turn it up loud enough to drown out the kids and the noise if your family is still at home.

•Now, using your BeautiControl Skinlogics products, remove all your makeup and put on your favorite mask. We have so many to choose from, so pick the one that best fits what you are looking.  You can detox or you can hydrate and if you want to use one of ours I'll help.

•Now, fill the tub with water and pour in your favorite bath additive: Detoxifying Bath Soak or Therapeutic Bath Minerals from BC are my favorites!!

•Next, get your favorite scrub:  mine is the Luxuries of the Sea Salt Glow.  LOVE IT!!! or try the BC Spa Manicure Scrub.  We use it mostly on hands but it works great no the body too!

•Now, turn off the lights, get in the tub, relax and completely turn off your brain. No job, no kids, no stock market, nothing! Let yourself think of absolutely nothing!

I promise you, when you emerge from your momentary hibernation, you will be so renewed, refreshed and revitalized that you family will not recognize you.

Family Spa Time

So, do we have a deal? Just one hour to a new you. Oh yeah, there’s one more thing. After you take your moment of relaxation, come back and post some of your favorite ways to “escape” with your favorite spa treatments.  I'd love to hear from you.   And if you really enjoyed this time, think about a Spa Escape with a few friends - what a great way to chill with a glass of wine for an hour some evening.
