I have been sitting here giving myself a pedicure, and i was just wondering how many people do this..I sometimes go and get one but sometimes i just do it myself,like today.I have all my polish,and scrubs, and pedicure and nail things in a little carrying case..I try and take one day every 2 weeks to pamper myself.I will give myself a facial,a pedicure and manicure..When i do the facial i always efoliate,and put on a mask of some kind,arch my brows, and wax what needs to be waxed..Do you take time just to pamper yourself?.It is very important to do this and also really boost your self esteem and makes you feel good..On this day i usually touch up my hair,do a facial, nails and and take a bubble bath, when it is all over i feel like a millon.Share your beauty secrets!

I try to use face mask at least twice and week. I do everything like this at home, myself. I use exfoliater almost daily. I give myself a pedicure probably once evry 2 weeks, but I think I should do it once a week, because the polish chips so easily. I find I get lazy sometimes and I just don't bother though, I really need to make more time for taking care of myself.

I used to do this all the time - everything you mentioned. Sometimes I would do it all in one day and other times just one or two things. I always took at least a few hours out of the week to pamper myself though.
Maybe that's what's wrong with me these days - I can't remember the last time I 'pampered' myself, I need to change that.

I do a mini pamper every Sunday because it makes me feel really good to go back to work on a monday.
Also i have joined Nirvana Spa it's great, i have 12 sessions a year. Includes sauna, swimming, jaquzzi and all the other things that go with spa's. It's a real treat even the food is all healthy. If you have never done a spa day or any treatments, i would highly recommend it. It will boost your already wonderful pamper sessions.
I love to wash and condition my hair, good shave of all the parts that need sorting, i'm not brave enough to wax. Like you a face mask. Pretty much everything.
It's something that even if you only have 30 minutes a week, you should treat yourself to some pampering.

The only pampering I do is when I get in the tub and really soak myself. I do not use nail polish or makeup, although with my red face I should because I do not have that much money. My younger son gave me a bath soap set, so I might use it sometime, but I am allergic to a lot of stuff, so I am a bit wary of doing so.

wow good idea ! i should really try to do that too at least once a week. personally, at the moment i exfoliate once a week, cleanse my face every day, and use moisturiser on my face every day. i cut my toenails and finger anils when they need to bbe cut and i do it very neatly but i never put nail polish on except for when i put clear and only clear nail polish on my fingernials. recently ive been getting facials at a beauty spa which is really lovely especially with the relaxing music.
but atm youve made me want to have a bubble bath which i havent done in a while ! lol
oh and also i feel like a million bucks when i put on a bit of eyeliner, mascara and blush ! =P

No I don't pamper myself. I am always taking care of everyone else. I should do this though, it does sound like a good idea. Its been so long since I did my nails. I have nice fingernails too. You seen my boyfriend, I don't have to do anything special to impress him.

i also do that im the one cleaning and polish my nails because im afraid to anyone do that for me i go to salon just to cut my hair. body scrub i do that by my own because i think its expensive in the massage parlor i just prepare some olive oil with fined sugar or salt and scrub to myself 15 to 30 mins before i take a bath and also face scrub i try to go to dermatologist because i have pimples problem and some brown spot because of pimples and its need a proper medication.

I don't have time to do it myself cause of my kids. But I do take the time to go to a salon and get my hair done up really pretty. Get highlights, a cut or whatever. and sometimes i go to the tanning bed. Thats how i pamper myself. Cause I agree we do have to take time for ourselves sometime.

no!!
actuall that is one of my goals for 2008.
i always used to think of every one else, and really no one thought of me. so i decided that in 2008 it was gonna be about me and what i need and want.
every one around me had what they needed and what they wanted, now its my turn.
it took 2 of my co-workers to pull me aside and tell me i need to take time for me to realize i has tlet my needs go.
i work hard for my money and bever got anything for me.
every one should pamper themselves a little!!
