In Need of some Pampering

Definitely in need of a mani and pedi before my big trip next month.






With the hectic lives we live today, it’s easy to forget to do something for ourselves. We need to take a little time once in awhile to slow down and take care of ourselves, so that we are ready to face the world anew. 

Some Tips-
1. Do something to make yourself feel better about how you look. Some examples might be painting your fingernails a pretty color, plucking your eyebrows, and getting a facial or doing one at home. Oatmeal masks are simple and great if you have oily skin as they draw the oil out of your pores. Plus oatmeal is soothing to your skin as is evidenced by all the lotions that contain oatmeal available on the market now.

2. Take a bath and not just an prdinary bath. Keep some bath salts or bubble bath around and then soak in a hot bath. A hot bath can be very relaxing by itself and if you really want to help your muscles try an Epson salts bath. Epson salts are great for pulled or sore muscles and even bruises. This can be especially nice if you are moving or have been carrying a lot of heavy boxes or other heavy items. Add a few candles and turn off the lights, lean your head back against a bath pillow and just allow your mind to drift.or even crank up your Ipod and listen to some sooething tunes. 

3. Take a yoga class or have a regular practice. Yoga is one of the best ways you can pamper yourself since it is one of the best ways to relieve everyday stress. You'll learn how to breathe when you become stressed so that you can minimize the effects of stress as they happen.


4. Facial or mask-enough said, either hit the spa or make your at home there are tons and eassily looked up online. http://beauty.about.com/od/skinflaws/ht/basicfacial.htm
