As a mom of a toddler, full time career woman, domestic goddess, and much more there is not much time that I find for myself except on Sunday nights. Oh how I love you Sunday Night.! I like to feel refreshed and ready for whatever the new week will bring in doing so I invented my own little Sunday night spa. I usually have to wait until 8pm for the spa to open which is when my little guy goes to sleep. Once he is tucked in and fast asleep the spa is open for business, my husband is the only employee as he is the vice president of foot massages. Lol! So what I do is I get out all my executive assistants which are a sugar body scrub, deep pore cleaning mask, body butter, my wonderful smelling shower gel, hair serum, loofah, polishes, big fluffy towel, comfy jammies, and my relaxing music. I get the shower all hot and steamy, get my music player on and scrub away the week in complete bliss. Once I get out of the shower I get my most comfy jammies on and grab the massage lotion. My VP lets me put my feet up while he massages them each foot for 5 minutes while we watch Sunday football during the season. I don’t mind since he is doing me a little favor although sometimes while he is yelling at the tv it takes away from my blissful state but none the less I still feel relaxed. I then give myself a pedicure and manicure. I apply my face mask and add serum to the tips of my hair. All the aromas and smells are so invigorating but yet make me feel renewed, refreshed, and ready to start my week. This little ritual I have usually takes me about 2 hours but I’m sure you could get it done faster I just like to take my time, relax, and enjoy time for myself since it is rare. This is an inexpensive way for me to feel pampered but without the cost, appointments, and spa chatter. If you don’t have time to do all I would recommend a bubble bath and a foot massage or whatever you like but just remember to take time for yourself.
