Major need for pampering

babyvelasquez2015 · July 2015

approaching 29 weeks and definitely felt like I grew over night. Have had little energy to do my hair or make up. Every day it's a pony tail and mascara. Thinking tomorrow it's mani pedi time. What are you ladies doing to pick yourselves up during this time that we feel oh so sexy?

I was just talking to my mother about this. I said can we please go to sephora asap? (Yeah I go shopping with mommy). I have not worn makeup in months and I think I am scaring my boyfriend. I have been doing the mani pedi thing this whole pregnancy. Makes me feel oh so special. But yeah I'm gong to get some makeup this weekend. Gotta freshen up this face of mine.

Tomorrow I'm going for a prenatal massage (immediately after my GD test). It felt necessary to have something to look forward to.

A couple weeks ago I made a hair appointment for cut and color at a salon in our new area. I had to take my pup to the vet and it was going to take a while, so I called the salon before I was late to ask them if they could push my appointment back 30 minutes, or let me reschedule. They had no record of my appointment. Then they looked up their sister salon, IN ANOTHER TOWN, and found my appointment. I had made it at a salon in another city. I almost cried, I had been looking forward to the pampering so much. Still haven't made a new appointment since then.

Haha. Love this. I do everything with my Mommy. I just called her and asked to do a mani/pedi date tomorrow and if she could please please help a girl out and pluck my eyebrows. Now I'm realizing how it sounds pathetic that I can't do my own eyebrows. I had an allergic reaction the one time I tried to wax them. And I can't pluck them with my contacts in, because I cry the whole time. And I can't see without my contacts... Go ahead and laugh.

Also DH said he would help me get a shower and shave tonight.

And again... Sephora? Is it awesome? I live in a tiny town, and we just got one last month inside our JCPenney. I usually pick up stuff at Ulta, but I keep hearing Sephora over and over....

New clothes for your cute pregnant self will make you feel good!! That's my go-to!!

After seeing this thread I'm thinking an at-home spa night-soak my feet, maybe paint my toenails etc. Dh is great at massages and actually mentioned yesterday we should get some massage oil and he would give me a massage but I'm weird-I won't ask for one, I want him to offer.

@SarahAnne1101 I worked for sephora in the past. We were also inside of a JCP. It's pricey but I'm basically a groupie. You can find good products at the drug store. Ulta is good too! I Love bare minerals ;;) I stick with sephora because you gain points and get free stuff when you accumulate 100 points - 500 points. Also when you go there the consultants are more than happy to give you samples to try at home before you buy it. (Within reason). I get a high when I go in there. Spend way too much money.

I pamper myself every 6 weeks or so with a cut and color. Mostly because I've been getting gray hair since I was 17.

But I have the day off work tomorrow and my cousin and I are going to her mom's house to lay out and swim in her pool all day, and that sounds like some much needed relaxation.

SarahAnne1101 · July 2015

@Kara7787 - a hair cut! That's what I need. Mom agreed to mani/pedis tomorrow and my eyebrows. I called the sweet lady who cuts my hair as soon as I read this and she said I could come by tomorrow anytime and she'll cut mine or she can make a house call for me any day I feel up to it. Good idea!

Pedis all the way; my mom bought me one for my birthday. And then
We went shopping for clothes.

and if you can get a massage, do it. It's worth it.

My sister and I had a spa day last Saturday and it was awesome. My doctors office gives two free prenatal massages so im looking forward to that in a couple weeks. Me and my husband are going on a mini vacation the end of August.

beckles112 · July 2015

My husband booked me a prenatal massage for my birthday. I'm going to do it right before I go back to school. I'm also scheduling a hair dye, eye brow waxing, and a mani/pedi. I can't wait.

emilymw14 · July 2015

I've gotten a whole new hair cut and had highlights put in- my dads girlfriend has been pampering me with mani/pedi for the last month! Oh it's been wonderful

Love sephora. I get my non Mary Kay items there. I've been dying to get a pedicure. I need one so bad, my poor swollen feet ache. I do a lot with my mom when I can't talk the hubby into going. I almost have him convinced to get a pedi with me. Mainly because his feet need it BAD.

You should!!! I dragged my H once and he actually proposed (jokingly) to the the girl who did his feet. It was hilarious. He was like, I cannot believe this is what I'm missing out on...

An at home spa night sounds fantastic! I may have to do that tonight

gabrielafrnqyepez · July 2015

you ladies inspired me at home spa today and tomorrow date with sister for mani pedi!!! yay being pregnant i get to do these things guilt free and i lovee it !!!!!---guilt free as in i could be spending that $$$ on something necessary, this is very much necessary!

jennylynn103 · July 2015

I want a pedi so badly. They feel so good and it hurts to cut my own toenails now. I feel bad asking DH to do it (although he would without complaint) because he is already doing so much for me and being so sweet...
