A Pamper Evening

Hello everyone! 

As you know, HelperBaby has been very very sick, and the other night I got approximately 2 hours of sleep. Needless to say, I looked like death warmed over the next day. So, I got out all of my spa essentials and decided an evening of pampering myself would do the trick. 

I didn't buy all these items at once, they are things that I have stock piled in my bathroom for about a month. I don't do pamper evenings all the time, but when I do, I want to fee luxuriant and lethargic; this is just what the doctor ordered. 

To start off with..

This, is everything that I use to acheive my pamper evening. 

I start out with brewing a cup of camomile tea for myself. 

Then, I wash my face and drink my tea. 

Next, I do a Biore nose strip to open and clean out my pores. And I read while that sits for 10 minutes. Then, I do a small GlamGlow mask. I already need more, but I still have enough for nose and spot treatments, so this is what I did. That sits for 20 minutes, and in the mean time, I sprayed all the summer shoes I took out of storage with an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal shoe spray to make sure they smell nice when it comes time to wear them all summer. (I can't wait!)

 Then I run my bath, with my Bath bomb, that my best friend, Tia, gave me for Christmas. It smells sweet, but not overpoweringly so and it makes the water smell good and get all fizzy. I loved it I will be buying more bath bombs in the future!

I soaked for about 10 minutes (I'm not a HUGE fan of baths, but my muscles needed the soak) and then I drained the tub and took a shower. I first scrub my lips with my LUSH Bubblegum Lip scrub, then I wash my hair with my Biolage and then scrub my arms (where I have unevenness and redness that I am trying to get rid of) with my LUSH Ocean Salt Scrub. I wash my body with my Nivia Harmony time and that leaves my skin feeling super soft. And I smell like a rose garden. How lovely. Then I wash my face with my Micheal Todd Tropical Enzyme Scrub to get all the dead skin off my face and make sure that all the mask and glue from the Biore strips has been taken off. 

I then Brush my teeth (my tea is finished by now) and I put on my rejuvenating eye pads and my almond oil hair mask. They both smell amazing. They only need 15 minutes, so I fold laundry while I'm waiting. 

Then I rinse out the hair mask and wash off any residue from the eye pads and towel off. I then spray my hair with my Soy Leave in Conditioner from the sexy hair line. Then I comb my hair and run my AG Keratin repair through my strands and comb those through too. I braid my hair and let those work their magic on my damaged locks. 


I then tone my face with my Pore Refining Toner, just to try and get those pores as tiny as possible after I removed all the junk from them. Next, I massage my Liftactiv Night from Vichy onto my face (this stuff smell so good) and follow up with my Ceramide Youth Restoring from Elizabeth Arden. I then gently pat my Ceramide Lift and Firming Eye Cream from Elizabeth Arden under and around my eyes. And then I put on my normal, everyday deoderant. And I finish my routine off with some Hurraw MoonBalm onto my lips. 

 I then put BioOil on my arms and anywhere I have scars or stretch marks. 

I then go crawl into bed and paint my nails with one of my favorite polishes, Wedding Glitters by Sally Hansen. Two coats does it, and I'm ready to read and then fall asleep, renewed, refreshed, and ready for another day of mothering.  

 












I hope this inspired you to do a little something for yourself this week. As mothers, we are busy and tired and often over worked, and we need a little break ever now and then to balance everything out. I hope you do a little balancing yourself.
