Something Different

EDWHIP · August 2014

I'm curious. When was the last time you did something fun and relaxing for yourself? Anyone have any plans to pamper themselves any time soon? I plan on scheduling a pedicure soon, but can't seem to carve out the time. That's going to be a goal for next week. I wish I could schedule pamper time into my week the way people schedule paying bills or doing laundry. I think it should be just as important!

My FI and I rented a boat and will be staying there for the long weekend. It'll be nice to be out on the water, disconnected from (most) technology, just relaxing with the dogs. I'm not looking forward to actually sleeping on the boat but eh.

Hopefully you're able to have some pampering time for yourself soon. It's just as important as everything else in life.

We're going tubing (well, by tubing I mean sitting in intertubes and floating down the river) on Sunday. I hope it doesn't rain :-/

@SNLT1012 that sounds like a blast! I've always wanted to do that

I made an appointment to get my hair trimmed and colored tonight, if that counts.

kmvisioli · August 2014

I have been desperately needing some relaxation, and my sweet hubs just gave me a gift card for a massage for my bday! Scheduled for Tuesday and sooo looking forward to the pampering.

I went for manicure/pedicure and eyebrows last Friday, I walked out of the nail salon feeling like a million bucks

Whitfry · August 2014

I'm going to try to shave my legs this weekend. That's about as pampered as I seem able to manage right now, lol.

All those massages and pedis sound real nice, though. Maybe I'll try for a pedi next week.

I had a spa day last weekend. Facial, Mani, Pedi. It was nice but would have been sooo much nicer if I was in my 2nd tri. The pedicure lady barely rubbed lotion on my legs because she couldn't "massage" someone in 1st tri. Sigh...

We're going to spend the day sunday at DH's parents house (they're out of town) and lay out by the pool all day. I'm expecting a lot of relaxing, napping and reading.

Hope you get some papered time in soon! Going to the spa last weekend definitely reminded me that i need to make taking care of myself a priority and I will be reaching out to a spa near my home to see about package pricing which will force me to go more often.

I actually have a GTG planned with several ladies from my J12 BMB in early October. We are hitting up the ATL and even have a party buss driving us around one night. It would be a lot more fun if I could drink, but I'm not complaining! I'm super excited for my girls' night!

Tonight is moms night out with my friends! I also need a pedicure badly, so hopefully I can fit that in this weekend.

thejucheidea · August 2014

We have one vacation to New Orleans in October and another vacation to Sweden in December. Until then, I get massages every two weeks and pedicures monthly.

maisonduchoco2 · August 2014

It's been a while :-( DH and I cannot wait until his parents get into town so we can at least have a relaxing date night. We are also hoping for an adult only long weekend in September but we need to nail down the date since it will piggy back off of a business trip for him.

I would love a massage and a pedicure right now. Two weeks until ILs are in town, so I can do it then! It's hard before that since DH and I have been working long hours the last several weeks.

mrskelly731 · August 2014

I have gone way too long without a pedicure. I really need to get one. That is on my to do list for the weekend. DH recently went on a guys trip so I plan on going on a shopping trip with my mom early November in the city. That I am looking forward to.

jordanbohr · August 2014

Visiting my parents last weekend was nice, my mom treated me to a pedicure and a day of shopping. My husband got up early with our dogs which was nice too (he gets up at 5:30 during the week, so they're used to that schedule even on the weekends). Last weekend was my relaxing weekend!

gdamore11 · August 2014

My husband and I are spending a week in Southern California mid September. There's a family wedding that prompted the trip, but we decided to extend it as my 30th birthday present (OMG I'm 30 next week!), and our second wedding anniversary. The wedding is in Malibu, but then I'm still debating where to spend the rest of the trip! Any suggestions?

sh0709 · August 2014

DH and I are heading to a yoga retreat in New Hampshire for a long weekend in October. Can't. Wait.

Way to busy for "me time"! Sounds lovely

Rachbobach · August 2014

I have a wedding tomorrow so I'm getting my hair and makeup done. Doing my hair these days is such a chore...

shootznladrz · August 2014

I'm going to the shoot in range with a good friend of mine of Monday. H was like why don't you go get a really nice massage and I was like why don't I use that money for something awesome instead?

Readingdiva123 · August 2014

I haven't done much if anything. I do paint my own nails on a regular basis tho. I also might be touching up my roots this weekend.

jap618 · August 2014

I've had a really busy summer and this is my first weekend with nothing really planned. So as not fun as it is I plan on hanging around home. Cleaning. And doing some bbq hopping. I'm really excited. And I'll probably work in some shopping for maternity clothes since to celebrate hitting the 2nd trimester :-)

Oh and I'm a tastefully simple consultant and their new catalog just came out and it's like Christmas. So I need to place an order this weekend. Yum.

I am going to get a mani/ pedi in a few and I got a haircut for the first time in 6 months the other day too. Other than that... life with 2 kids and a husband who is constantly working is not very relaxing.

cesquer · August 2014

Mani pedi today. Shaving seems like a chore, but it must be done. I am officially a wookie.

lisap0924 · August 2014

ohh a pedi sounds so nice! I think I will try to carve out sometime next week.

but I agree, it is hard to try to carve out time! between work and family its tough!

My best friend and I are meeting half way (we live 5 hours apart) for a massage, lunch/dinner, and shopping... Only 7 more days!!!!! The next day I'm meeting my mom, cousin, and aunt for another shopping trip... But my small fry will be in tow

@gdamore11 Have you ever been to Santa Barbara? I lived there for a couple of years and felt like I was on vacation every day. There is so much to do! Let me know if you decide to go and I can give you restaurant suggestions

EDWHIP · September 2014

@071115 I hear you! That's why I made it my goal to do something for myself. I think it's just as important as being there for your other children, family members of friends. It's just so darn hard to carve out the time!

I brushed my teeth today..does that count? Lol I wish I had free time to pamper myself.. One day..a girl can dream..

Ugh…I have those days A LOT. I usually get my teeth done, but I never brush my hair. Takes too long.

EDWHIP · September 2014

I managed to get a pedicure on Friday! It was great, but it wasn't long enough. 6 more weeks until my next pampering time- a weekend trip to New Orleans for a wedding.
