Every night, I make a cup of tea & sit down with dessert to either read or write.
More pampering of the soul than the body
I get a much needed Massage...very relaxing.
Once a week after DS goes to bed, DH relaxes by watching tv and checks on DS and I take a long hot shower, then give myself a mini pedicure. If I have time, I also give myself a manicure. It is 30 minutes of peace!
In the evenings, DH has quality time with LO while I go do whatever I want.
Usually, I take a bath and listen to my Ipod. Sometimes I'll read, browse online, catch up on TV shows, whatever I feel like.
My hubby works M-F and I am a SAHM of two boys under 3. So on Sunday mornings my hubby gets up with the boys and lets me sleep in an extra hour or two. That extra sleep once a week is so refreshing!
As soon as DH gets home from work in the evening, I go to the bathroom by myself and with the door closed! It may not sound much like pampering to some, but to me it's a well-deserved and much-needed mini break before we start dinner, baths, and bedtime routines!
Once every few weeks I go to the salon with my girlfriends to get mani/pedis. Divine!

There are several things I do to pamper myself, but the 2 best are:
1) I stretch EVERY night before bed. This may not sound like pampering, but it is increasing my flexibility, loosening my muscles from tension, and (the best part) helping me get better SLEEP every night. I wasn't sleeping well in the beginning, and now I'm pretty much sleeping through the night (minus those darn potty breaks!), so I'd say stretching is pampering to the max!
and 2) Back rubs. My DH gives THE BEST back rubs. So when I feel the need for one, I ask! He never says no. I try not to ask too much, but I know he wants me to feel great. And no asking = no getting! So I ask for my back rubs!
Cheers!
I get a pedicure every 2 weeks. It's hard to pull myself away from little one sine I work full time, but the me time helps.
I brush my hair...
HAHAH no just kidding.. well somewhat..
I escape the house get a chai latte and a pedicure
Sometimes I take a bath after giving LO hers...
Or I draw or I paint.
I love the days when I receive a magazine in the mail. I set it on the kitchen table, and don't allow myself to even peep inside it until DS is tucked in for the night, dinner is over and cleaned up, and I can curl into the corner of the couch and devour it cover to cover, uninterrupted.
It's more pampering of a mental pamper but I take some time each night to sip on a beer, read the bump, and blare my iTunes music.
