With the hectic lives we live today, it’s easy to forget to do something for ourselves. We need to take a little time once in awhile to slow down and take care of ourselves, so that we are ready to face the world anew. Here you will find some ideas on what you can do to pamper yourself

Take a bath. No, this is no ordinary bath; you will not worry about getting clean! In fact, if you feel like you need to clean off, jump in the shower first. Sure it sounds silly, but this bath is strictly for relaxation…no scrubbing allowed! Run the bath as hot as you can possibly stand it and add any combination of your favorite bath salts, oils, fizzies, and of course, bubbles. Adding some flower petals is a real treat.

Get a manicure. This is a luxury us gals often save for special occasions. What occasion could be more special than the fact that you deserve a treat? Go to your favorite salon, or, ask trusted friends for their favorites, if you have never had this done before.

Better yet, get a pedicure. A lot of us shy away from showing a stranger our feet. You’ll forget your inhibitions about three seconds into this, if you go to the right salon; be sure to ask around if you have never had this done before. Trust me, after you have this done, you’ll be looking for excuses to go barefoot!

Get a facial. Visit dermatological clinics and have a dose of facial massage and treatment. That is if you have budget. If you can't afford it, never worry because at home you can find stuff that you can use to get that face you've always wanted.

Go on a mini-vacation. Visit some places like resorts, beaches and bars so that you can unwind. You can also socialize with other people as go visit these places.

Take a nap. When was the last time you did this, if ever? If you’re like a lot of moms out there, you think this is the best time to get some cleaning done. Well, put down the vacuum cleaner and take a nap. I promise you won’t regret it!

Go ahead, have that chocolate! Even if you’re on a diet, a small piece can be very satisfying, especially if you haven’t had any in awhile. Break off a piece for yourself and give the rest to a friend.

Have your sweetie give you a back or foot rub. This costs no money and is probably one of the best ways to be pampered!
