Re: Win a Philosophy "Mom Essentials" Tote (5 winners!)
After my 6yo heads off to bed, I will try to find my toes so that I can paint them. I love having my feet look nice and try VERY hard to keep them that way. Being 9 mos pregnant makes it a bit more difficult, but I figure that if I don't do it for me, nobody else will
Occassionally I like a nice, warm bubble bath. I especially like the bubbles from Lush that turn the water pretty colors.
If I want to really pamper myself, I go out and buy fancy yarn - a nice alpaca or silk. Something spendy that feels oh-so-good on the hands.
Yes please! I would like to enter to win the "Mom Essentials" from Philosophy. Love there stuff and could use the TLC!!
Thank you,

Take a 30 min shower during baby's afternoon nap which includes low lighting and in-shower facial. Gets me feeling like a lady again, rejuvenates me to make dinner and calms me so I am well prepared to calm baby in his night time routine.
Calm Mommie= Calm Baby
Well, I'm a first time pregnancy and little did we know, we're having twins (I took the second sonogram because the other baby seems to enjoy hiding). The father and I are both serving in the Navy and well, things get VERY complicated! Either way, we are so in love with these babies.
What I do to pamper myself these days is an at home manicure and pedicure once every two weeks. Also, it's not always that I am able to shave my legs (lol) so I do that once a month while I still can (he promises to shave them for me when I can't anymore). Long ... hot showers work perfectly after a long day and gym time as well, because we don't have bath tubs here, so once I hop out, I take my time massaging pure raw shea butter into my skin, and pay even special attention to my ever growing belly
.
The beginning of this pregnancy was a little rocky with my hormones, and luckily I didnt have to deal with morning sickness. I'm ever thankful that the father has been so patient with me because I have been everything, but pleasant. He would do the dishes after I cooked, he would clean if I couldnt take the smell of the chemicals, and he'd even do the laundry. Once a month we'd go out and explore Japan. But those are the things that I do to pamper myself.
pampering myself doesn't really come easy to me but I make sure that i get a chance to do so... so every night I give baby a bath then when she's all cleaned and lotioned up I make sure to get me in a nice hot bath making sure that all the lights are dimmed in the room... my hubby has the baby and I have my relaxation time all to myself!!! I have the bubble bath and bath oils with the lotion to match!!!!!... and when I'm finished I put on my cozy fleece pajamas and cuddle up with my hubby and my tooka for a good night"s sleep!
After I take a shower each night, I lie in bed and read or watch t.v., while my husband looks after our son until its his bedtime.
On thursday mornings my DH takes DD to tumbling class and I get an hour all to myself. I usually have a hot cup of tea and do some reading.
While my husband takes care of story time and tucking in I get to enjoy a LONG hot shower often followed by a hot cup of tea and/or dessert. Being 9 months pregnant I really need the time to myself after a day with our 3 year-old and the shower really relaxes my sore body.
Hi,
Since I got pregnant, my face is very dry and have a lot of pimple. So I decided to pamper myself to do facial mask everyday during my shower. Shower steam and mask works so well and makes me so refresh! Love it.
