A Moment For Me: All About Taking Time For Yourself Plus A Giveaway

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.

My wonderful but disabled wife of more than 39 years likes to read. She saids she doesn’t hurt as bad when she loses herself in the book. Thank you for this great contest and prize. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I sat an watched a whole hour of TV without multi-tasking at anything else!

Caroline Morin January 24, 2009 at 2:43 pm

I’ve been regularly indulging in baths, even when I’m in the middle of something. If I feel like taking one, I just do.

Sarah January 24, 2009 at 3:15 pm

I soaked, exfoliated and moisturized my feet using Mary Kay foot spa products I got for Christmas.

djp January 24, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Diane Baum January 24, 2009 at 4:12 pm

I ran away to the tropics

and took a long hot shower!

Eva D January 25, 2009 at 12:19 am

I had my husband take the kids to the park while I took a nice long relaxing bubble bath. A luxury I don’t get often enough. It was pure heaven!

Melanie January 25, 2009 at 12:22 am

Ive started doing yoga.
I reccommend it to everyone.
It truly is a relaxing experience.

Joanna January 25, 2009 at 1:07 am

Holly January 25, 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!!

Veronica Garrett January 25, 2009 at 1:50 pm

I treated myself to a manicure and a pedicure.

Gail January 25, 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.

Denise January 25, 2009 at 2:50 pm

My me-time involved a hot bath and the latest edition of National Geographic magazine.

Marie N January 25, 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.

kathy pease January 25, 2009 at 5:36 pm

my moment was to sit down with everyone gone and read a book.it was great and sooooooooooooo peaceful :)

reeva January 25, 2009 at 6:24 pm

my me time moment was when i made myself a bowl of mixed fruit and read part of my favorite maya angelou book. i’d love to have this!

Deborah January 25, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Me-time involves a long soak in a bubble bath with a good book for company and NO telephones!

Katherine Frazier January 25, 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.

Rachael January 25, 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!

Mindy January 25, 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!

Casey B January 25, 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.

Vicky Boackle January 26, 2009 at 12:56 am

i sat in the hot tub.

Lily Kwan January 26, 2009 at 1:59 am

I went out to eat a yummy buffet.

Stephanie V January 30, 2009 at 12:49 am

I went for a walk — by myself — to think and relax.

susie January 30, 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.
