a Rafflecopter giveaway
With three kids under 6, I'm more likely to skip a shower all together than to actually take the time to enjoy one, so when I was approached by NIVEA about spending 10 days committing to make a little extra time for myself I jumped at the chance.
"Sorry, mommy can't read Amelia Bedelia (again), I'm working."
Even if the only beach action my feet see is in our sandbox, I still want them to feel more "silky smooth" than could-be-mistaken-for-the-sand!
Let's not talk about how blogging does not equate to working in the eyes of my kids, who have very limited computer exposure. Not sure what they think I'm doing on here, but a generic "working" will usually suffice.
So, when my "work" involved me locking my bathroom door, taking a shower longer than 4 minutes, and actually doing something after, you know, like applying lotion, I think their little minds were completely blown away.
As a refresher, here's my "office" for the purposes of this project.
Not too shabby, right? I really should spend more time in there:)
Soooo, after a week it felt less like a guilty pleasure, and more like spending time on myself so I could spend better time with my kids. And by the end of two weeks my skin is all smooth and soft, and I'm taking bigger, deeper breaths, and even my husband can tell the difference in my skin. I'm a devoted sunscreen addict, so my usual scent is eau de Coppertone, but now I'm layering in something a little more feminine and nourishing before my protective coating:)
How do you indulge yourself? Chocolate, a favorite perfume, silky soft skin?

Looks like my kind of office! I need that job!
ReplyDeleteWorking out is my way of taking care of myself. It makes me feel good and better able to deal with life.
ReplyDeleteOh and good skin care. I'm sort of a freak about that!
Great giveaway! I indulge with wine (or margaritas, depending on the weather) and Sports Illustrated :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think the question is correct on the rafflecopter. It's asking me what I would stencil?
ReplyDeleteSince this is a Nivea Indulgence giveaway I assume the correct question would be how do I indulge myself or my favorite way of indulging.
That would be eating chocolate or long bubble baths.
