If you are anything like me, I know you can relate when I say, “TGIF”! Sometimes there are just those weeks where there is never enough time to get everything done that needs to get done. We find ourselves using our weekends just to catch up on the things that we didn’t have time to get done during the week. I have a friend who told me that today at his work it is officially “no e-mail Friday”. I loved that concept so much that I took it upon myself to declare this weekend “national pamper yourself weekend”. That’s right. Every one of you has a homework assignment this weekend. Now, I am not asking for you to dedicate your entire weekend to pampering yourself, unless you absolutely have the luxury of spending a complete 48 hours of “me time”. I am just asking for 1 hour from each of you this weekend. It doesn’t matter what time of morning, evening or night, but each one of us has to carve out just one hour to ourselves to pamper ourselves.
Ok, so here is what this involves:
- First, you let everyone in the house hear loud and clear that you are going to take 1 hour to yourself. You have heard the old saying, “If mamma ain’t happy, then no one’s happy”? Well, no truer words were ever spoken. You inform all the children…yes, including the husband who can be the biggest child of all when it comes to being a little needy, that unless there is blood, they are to leave you alone. No phone calls, no “mommy I’m hungry”, no “honey where are my socks”, nada! This is your tiny slice of heaven and you are absolutely not to be disturbed.
- Next, you light candles and put the all around your tub. Now, I don’t know what it is about candles, but they make “me time” just a bit more exotic, wouldn’t you agree. Round up all the candles you can find. They don’t have to match, this is about you. Light them and put them all around the bathroom.
- Next, you need music. It doesn’t matter what kind of music, just make sure that it is something that helps you relax. Turn it up loud enough to drown out cartoons, CNN, the children, your husband pacing outside the bathroom door or any other sounds of reality that might cause you to feel guilty about taking time for yourself.
- Now, using your Skinlogics products, remove all your makeup and put on your favorite mask. We have so many to choose from, so pick the one that best fits what you are looking for:
- Detoxifying – choose the Therma Del Sol Detoxifying Facial or the Luxuries of the Sea Fango/seaweed scrub
- Moisturizing – Warming Trend Green Tea Mask or the Therma Del Sol Olive Butter applied in a thick layer on the face (this is a great hair mask too)
- Resurfacing – the Chemical Peel or the Spa Enzyme Mask
- Now, fill the tub with water and pour in your favorite bath additive:
- Luxuries of the Sea Hydrotherapy bath minerals (add some of the Luxuries of the Sea Ocean Bath for added bubbles)
- Therma Del So Detoxifying Bath soak or
- Spa Therapeutic Bath Minerals
- Next, get your favorite scrub:
- Luxuries of the Sea Salt Glow
- Herbal Serenity Show of Hands (great in the bath…the peppermint and other oils helps to condition the water and works just as great as a body scrub as it does on the hands)
- Microdermabrasion Body Scrub
- Spa Sugar Body Scrub
- Or any of our other amazing scrubs
- Now, turn off the lights, get in the tub, relax and completely turn off your brain. No job, no kids, no stock market, nothing! Let yourself think of absolutely nothing!
I promise you, when you emerge from your momentary hibernation, you will be so renewed, refreshed and revitalized that you family will not recognize you.
Do we have a deal? Just one hour to a new you. Oh yeah, there’s one more thing. After you take your moment of relaxation, come back and post some of your favorite ways to “escape” with your favorite spa treatments.
Make it a great weekend, and check back in on Monday to learn all about the new E-profile that will be up and running within the next day or so. Remember, if you have any questions, be sure to email us at product@beauticontrol.com.
