Pamper Yourself Tips

 

Kitchen Cosmetics

From The Tropical Spa ~ Asian Secrets of Health, Beauty and Relaxation 

There are all sorts of things in the Kitchen cabinets and fridge than can be used for a cleansing and refreshing facial.

As part of their five-day Spa Indulgence program, the Mandarin Spa at The Chedi in Ubud, Bali, offers an afternoon of practical fun and experiments.

The Kitchen Cosmetics Class can be done easily at home as a way of using up what you did not get around to eating.  A great way to have an at home spa day.

 

Avocado Mask

For this softening and nourishing recipe for the face and body, you'll need: 1 Avocado Directions: Mash the creamy insides into a soft paste and apply to face using the avocado stone to  massage the Flesh into your skin with small upward circular motions. Wash off with warm water after a few minutes.  The Nourishing oil is naturally rich in Vitamin E and leaves your skin feeling soft.

 

Lemon Refresher

For this slightly astringent and tightening for the face, you'lll need: 1 lemon or lime 1/2 tsp cold water Directions: Mix the Lemon or lime juice and the water in a bowl.  Gently pat on to your face after your avocado mask.  The lemon/lime acidity  acts as a toner to tighten the skin and close the pores after a facial. I appreciate how great it smells.

Create a Home Spa

Beauty by Rona Berg has some excellent ideas for a home spa. To create a home spa you don't need much: A bathtub Some imagination A few plants, or a vase of cut flowers does a lot  to make the atmosphere refreshing and renewing.  Ask your local florist if he has any left over rose petals and strew them into the water. Buy an aromatic candle and use it as your only light. The lingering scent and warm glow are instant relaxers.  A loofah or brush, some bath salts, oils and sweet-smelling soap and  you are ready to float. Many appealing bath and body products are available at the Allizon.com online store. I know  you are wondering how much time will all this take to luxuriate in  your home spa. Allow anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to relax in your home spa, and remember moms, if you're in the state where you think you're  too stressed out to take a bath, that's when you need it the most!  You deserve it after a hectic day of running around.

Do You Know How to Pamper Yourself? Here are 5 Quick-Tips By Sylvia C. Hall Women. Ahh, we can do it all. We do it all. Right? Well, almost. I know of far too many mommies, or far too many entrepreneurs, or far too many work-from-homers that know how to do just about everything. That is, everything but pamper themselves. Women today have to wear 10,000 hats just to get everything done. What does a normal week consist of? How much are you in charge of completing? Add it up. Make a list. I made a little list just to see what I was doing every week, and it made me realize something. I was in need of a break. A well deserved break. Sure, men are busy, too. But, we’ll leave that to another article. This is an article for those who understand it’s NOT okay to leave an empty granola bar box in the cabinet. Are little things like these starting to drive you mad? Well, join the club, and then read these 5 ways to pamper yourself and retire the hats for at least just a bit. 1. Buy yourself something pretty. I’m a fan of jewelry and flowers. No, it doesn’t have to be especially pricey. You can find a bouquet of flowers at the grocery store for under $5. And, “fashion jewelry” may seem trendy, but if you think it’s pretty…go for it! 2. Do something to make you feel better about your body. Take a bubble bath, paint your toes, pluck your eyebrows…do something to pamper that body of yours. 3. About that body. Are you one of those “negative-self-talkers?” One of the best ways to pamper yourself is to STOP that right now. Stop that negative gibber-jabber. 4. Perhaps you’ve heard of a gratitude journal. It’s a wonderful way to make yourself aware of 3 good things that happened to you throughout the day. I want you to use this same idea for an I Love Me journal. Take some time to write 3 reasons you love yourself, everyday! Point out all the wonderful things about your body, your mind, and your spirit. You can pamper yourself by loving yourself. 5. Daydream. Kids do it all the time. Go back to your child-like innocence and enjoy a lovely daydream. Imagine yourself somewhere beautiful. Think pleasant thoughts. Be at one with the moment, which is currently yours. You can pamper yourself. You can take just a few minutes each day to appreciate and love yourself. Take care of yourself and everyone in your life will be better off. Even the one who left the empty granola bar box in the cabinet…
