Hi there! Busy day today, so this is a little late getting posted. I’ll make it up to ya though with a little giveaway. Read on for details. J
How was your week? Did you remember to take some time to do something special for yourself (read a book, get your nails done, relax)?
This past week, I took a small step to fight the frump, courtesy of a little dab of lip gloss. I got a sweet little package a few days ago and inside were a couple of tubes of Skinn by Dimitri James Wet Lips Super Shine lip gloss. I have to admit, when I’m just hanging around the house (and as a stay-at-home / work-at-home mom I do that quite a lot, LOL!) I tend to dress comfy & casual and don’t do the makeup. Anyone else?
Well, when the package arrived, I decided to test it out and I have to admit that just a tiny tint of color from the lip gloss created a nice little boost in the way I was feeling. It didn’t cause me to go full gusto on the makeup, but it was nice, because I did it just for me.
By joining in the meme this week (blog about your “Moment For Me” and link to it with the Mr. Linky below or simply leave a comment telling us about it), you will be enter to win one of six Skinn by Dimitri James Wet Lips Super Shine lip gloss.
For an extra entry, Stumble this post & leave a comment letting me know.
Winners will be announced in next week’s “A Moment For Me” post.
Skinn by Dimitri James Wet Lips Super Shine Lip Gloss
Beautiful diamond looking glosses that may be worn alone, or over lipstick for a sexy, shimmery pout. Packed with Vitamin E, Soy and Aloe to soothe even the driest of lips. A wide color selection is available. Use alone or, better yet, over lipstick to personalize your color.

My moment for me this week is to actually find time to go to the gym I signed up for. I also need to find the time to hit the tanning bed. Summer is right around the corner you know. Of course once we get passed these freezing temps here!
7 January 22nd, 2009 at 12:17 am
I have been taking me time by trying to do my work 15 minutes at a time. I also took the time to take a nice hot bubble bath, poured myself cranberry gingerale in a champagne glass, turned on some light music and lit a candle and SOAKED.
I also took time tonight to show my daughter some pamper missions for themselves. I introduced my DD9 to deodorant, showed her how to blow dry her hair, and let her use some of my body lotion on her really dried out skin.
By showing her how to take care of herself, I hope to take one less thing off of me. She was appreciative of my gesture, going to bed with a smile on her face and kisses for mommy and daddy.
My next pamper mission are my nails. I always feel so much better about myself when I have a nice manicure and my nails french tipped!

20 January 22nd, 2009 at 10:25 am
My husband and sons were gone for the weekend, participating in a wrestling tournament, so I spent Saturday night having a girl’s night in. I was able to have an uninterupted bubble bath, shave my legs, deep-condition my hair, and give myself a facial. I was also able to accurately paint my fingernails and toenails. “Me” time was much appreciated!

23 January 22nd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Gosh, I know it sounds unconventional, but I started grad classes this semester and my night at class was my moment for me. It’s great — I get to stimulate my mind and leave the beb with my husband!

A new magazine today rounded out the week.
31 January 22nd, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I go back to work after spending 3 weeks at home after breaking my leg. I haven’t done ANY hair, make up or nail polish this whole time.
32 January 22nd, 2009 at 7:12 pm

I have 3 young children and one is only 6 months old. I decided that I needed some alone “me” time to devote to reinventing myself and evolving more as a woman, mother and wife. I was trying to figure out what would be a fun way for me to do that and also enrich my life and the life of my family at the same time. So, I started taking cooking classes at our local culinary school. So far I have had the pleasure of spending some me time learning to roll sushi, which is something I have always wanted to learn to do since we love sushi in our home and another night we had a Thai cooking lesson. This month has been focused on Asian cooking, next month is Greek! This was the best first step in my having some time to myself to learn something new, get out of the house to interact with some new and interesting people, and be able to bring what I learned home to my family so I can be creative in the kitchen and delight them with some new and exciting meals! This is an all around win, win way to spend a few hours out a week and enrich my life! Thank you for letting me share my new venture in life!
47 January 23rd, 2009 at 10:29 am
Itry to spend my “me” time reading. Thanks!
48 January 23rd, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I have a one year old and am in college again (yikes!) and also have a household to attempt to run…so I rarely get a moment to myself. A couple nights ago I decide to do nothing after the little one wnet to bed…I watched a movie, grab some Mint Oreos and just chilled for two hours. It was lovely!!!
49 January 23rd, 2009 at 12:18 pm
For a “just for me” moment I like to grab a book,a hot cup of tea,and jump in the tub for as long as I can.
50 January 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pm

51 January 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 pm

70 January 25th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
My “me time” this week involved my husband taking charge of our six children. I went to the library and got to just “browse”. I picked up a couple of books on CD to load to my IPOD and a book to read. When I got home he loaded the kids up in the car and took them to McDonald’s for dinner and play time in play land. I stayed home and made a good start on the book. It was a GREAT day!!
71 January 25th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I treated myself to a manicure and a pedicure.
72 January 25th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Me time - this week. I think it is right now while surfing the internet. The hubby and kids are outside shoveling the snow. They have done our driveway and are now working on the neighbors.
73 January 25th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
My me-time involved a hot bath and the latest edition of National Geographic magazine.
74 January 25th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
My me-time this week involved making sure that I went to bed earlier than this night owl is use to doing. Its amazing what an extra couple of hours can do for the body. I’ve been more focused and productive as well having a few less late night snack runs so I think I might try it again next week.
75 January 25th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
my moment was to sit down with everyone gone and read a book.it was great and sooooooooooooo peaceful
76 January 25th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

77 January 25th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Me-time involves a long soak in a bubble bath with a good book for company and NO telephones!
78 January 25th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
I went to a movie I wanted to see by myself and ate the famous combination of popcorn and Snocaps.
79 January 25th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I get to take a long bath every night. Just me and the Hot water. Thanks family for making it happen every day!
80 January 25th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I had a great “Me” time this week. A trip to the beauty parlor. A scalp massage, hair cut and style followed by a manicure and a pedicure. A whole day for just me!
81 January 25th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
I pampered myself by working out with my personal trainer. It feels great to be taking care of my health.
82 January 26th, 2009 at 12:56 am

85 January 30th, 2009 at 12:49 am
I went for a walk — by myself — to think and relax.
86 January 30th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I’ve got to say I’m pretty spoiled. My hubby comes home from work and takes over with our girlie. I’ve been really blessed with at least a few minutes to get dinner ready without a clinging toddler. And..many nights he lets me just go away from the noise and relax. I do wish, however, that I’d have more time in the am to look better. It’s hard and reading about people doing this alone makes me feel so blessed.
