When was the last time you spent some time pampering yourself?

My kids were away all weekend and it was a real treat. I got to catch up on the myriad of things on my personal to do list. Then i spent all day Saturday pampering myself. I got my hair done, my nails, then i decided to go all the way, even had a massage! It was absolutely fantastic and guess what? I came home to blessed quietness for a change! It was a brief respite and i made the most of it. Sometimes we are way too busy with day to matters that we neglect ourselves. When was the last time you really indulged in some you time?

Me too, i love this site. Sometimes i get up very early in the mornings before the kids are awake. School is out now, so even though i have so many things to do, i'm still not as busy in the mornings as i would be if school were in session.

Probably never. I have never gone to get my hair or nails done. I'm am always too busy with schoolwork and when I have spare time I usually spend it by going to sleep and resting. Now I barely have enough to go on the internet and spend some time just talking to people.

Awww...that's just too bad. You sound just like me. I try to make time for myself but somehow it just never seems to work out that's why this weekend was a Godsend and i did make the most of it.

I don't know I'm not a kind of pampering person. If you mean doing something nice for yourself then I did it on August 10th when i paid my gym fee for the month. And also when I switched insurance to go back to my doctor and start seeing my therapist again.

That was a very relaxing moment for you..im a bit jealous here. 
As for me, I can say that the last time i really had a break from everything was last year :( Yes, that long ago..I wanted to have rest sometimes, relax both body and mind. But i guess that is way too far for it to happen. I just have a lot of things in my mind now and i need to work, look for another job, practice for exams and help with the family business and even find time to talk with a long distance relationship. No time for pampering myself this year i guess.

I know how it is when you have a million things to do and time just never seems enough.It was a very long time for me too and you know what, i tell myself that i'm not going to leave it so long again. (Of course it's all just talk.)Too bad that you can't take a break this year. I wish you success with your job hunting and exams and real happiness in your relationship.

The last time I ever pampered myself was when I attended my best friend's wedding.., I got myself a good body massage and foot spa.., manicure and pedicure and I got my hair done too.., It feels great to see yourself pampered and as much as I want to do it more frequently.., time and finances would not allow me.., So maybe in a couple of months I'll do it again..=)

Tell me about it! It really took a chunk out of my budget but it was money well spent. It was really an impulse thing, if i had let myself think about it, maybe i wouldn't have done it. It really feels great, didn't know what i was missing.
