Rarely do I have time just for me. I don’t even have time to go to the bathroom without a knock on the door or a child barging in uninvited. The kids always seem to come first and sometimes I forget that I need me time. The other day while my husband was driving and I was in the passenger seat I had a moment to look at myself. I noticed my hands were dry and my skin was scaly. I didn’t have that pretty winter glow I like to have. It was at that moment I realized I needed to indulge myself with a little personal pampering time with NIVEA #NIVEAmoments. I headed to Sam’s Club for some NIVEA lotion. I needed some other things too, plus, the kids seem to really enjoy Sam’s Club, so off we went. You can see more from my shopping trip by visiting my Google+ Album.
The NIVEA Essentially Enriched Twin Pack of 16.9 oz bottles were only $8.98. This is why I’m a Sam’s Club member, to save money. Personal pampering time is definitely important to me but it must be done on a budget.
The very first thing I do when I have manage to sneek off and grab some time for myself is to give myself a facial. I found an anti-stress dead sea minerals masque buried deep in my bathroom drawer.It’s amazing how refreshed my skin feels after giving myself a facial. Next time I won’t wait so long in between facials. I deserve a facial at least once a week.
Facial
After my facial I soaked in the tub for a bit. I love taking a bath and having my iPod turned on at the same time. Lately I’ve listened to a lot of Mumford and Sons, their music so relaxing. I found some bath salts under my bathroom sink and indulged myself in the relaxing aroma of eucalyptus. While soaking in the tub I still had a child wonder in and out to ask me if I could help them with a thing or two. A mother’s work is very done. I think when kids see the bathroom door shut they think it’s an invitation to come on in. Why is that?
Warm Bath
Moisturizing My Skin with NIVEA
I ended my afternoon of pampering with NIVEA lotion. Since I don’t have a personal masseuse hidden away in my closet I rubbed my own feet, feels just as good. I don’t know why I waited so long to spend sometime of myself and give myself some personal pampering time. Next time I won’t wait so long.

About Tiffany
Thanks for the reminder that I need more me time
. We use Nivea in our house as well because my son’s skin is soooo dry.
I need a mini spa day at home, it’s been far too long!
Ahhh….. That looks so relaxing! I need a good at-home spa day!
That sounds so fun and relaxing! I have dry flaky skin too…it happens every winter. I will have to try this.
A bath sounds like an amazing idea. I haven’t been able to take one in peace in a while. Actually… ever since we were in LA!
I need to find some “me” time soon. Thanks for the reminder.
This sounds amazing. I can remember doing things like this for myself before getting married and having my son. I should do this. When I have time to relax, I’m usually reading blogs or looking at Facebook. That’s not as relaxing as it should be.
WOW! Tiff This is really cool and your presentation is AWESOME
