Shake the Salt- Moment for Me 2

Hey all... this past weekend was hectic, and it is only going to get busier!

So... what do I plan on doing for myself?

Pedicure... after work! I have never had one.. and I think it's about time!
Soak my feet in a comfy hot water, let someone massage them and paint them a pretty french manicure!!! Heaven.... total heaven. Anyhow... gotta have them look cute for the boyfriend, can't let them get all icky just because they are in some new sexy boots (Yep.. he got me some boots this weekend.. .they are AWESOME!)

What about ya'll? What are you doing this week to take care of yourselves?

Post a blog and put it up on Shake the Salt, Oh.. and come back here and let me know! New ideas are always fun!

A Moment for Me- 1

Shake the Salt has started a new meme called A Moment for Me.

It is a reminder that we all need to take time for ourselves, something that we as mom's tend to forget.

And I happened to actually find the time to do something for me, now, it was while my little ones were in the bathtub, splashing around next to me.

I sat down and dug through my essential oils, massage lotions and found what I've been thinking about for weeks.

Scented bath salts

Plastic container
2/3 full of salts (I used some dead sea bath salts)
A few drops of oils
Essential oils (I used a concoction called Goddess that I got at a local shop)

Shake all the ingredients together.

I got into the shower and then used the salt scrub on my face.... then washed my face with regular soap. It was amazing, my skin was totally soft and I smelled AMAZING. Then I used it on the rest of my body and decided I no longer needed all the store bought products, this was PERFECT for a relaxing night time wash.. I can't wait to use it in the tub!

With two sick babies at home.... I needed some relaxation.

What about you? What have you done lately?
Gone for a walk? Used oatmeal as a facial cleanser, wore funky socks under your jeans even though no one else could see them but you?
