Pamper Yourself! You Deserve It!

I have been in SUCH a rut this week that I can barely stand to be around myself.  I'm not sure exactly what's got me down - but one idea that comes to mind is that my Birthday is coming up..NO! Another year older!

I'm older, I look older, I feel older....I am old. (it's a little pity party now isn't it?! lol)

So it occurs to me, what would turn this old frown upside down?  A little TLC.  Why not?

I've got it all mapped out.  A nice bubble bath with my Bath and Body Works Sleep- Lavender Vanilla foam bath soap.  I love the smell.  Very relaxing.

Then I'm actually going to wash and STYLE my hair.  Being a stay at home mom who also works from home...I find it hard to get motivated to put myself together.  I think this is a big reason for feeling so frumpy too.  I saw something on the TV the other day in passing where the woman said to change how you look on the outside.  The audience seemed bothered by her comment, but then she added if you feel good on the outside, you tend to feel good on the inside.  I think she has a very valid point.  Don't we all feel special when we spend a little extra time on ourselves?

The last thing I'd like to do is give myself a little manicure and pedicure.  So while I'm soaking in the tub, I'll exfoliate.  I'm a big fan of Bath and Body works...so I use a lot of there sugar scrubs when my skin needs a little pick me up.  I tend to lean towards scents with a warm vanilla base.

Now, I feel polished and refreshed and have found a little pep in my step!  

I know as mother's, we all feel like we want to be everything for everyone.  Then you look around and realize that you have forgotten yourself.  Remember, your an awesome mom!  You deserve to love yourself a little - and then you will have so much more love and smiles to give right back!

Enjoy your day of pampering!  YOU DESERVE IT!
