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 moment for me this week means finding time to read the book that I bought over the weekend.
My momentus finding time to sit and write in my journal and if lucky grab a book to read too.
My moment was to sign into my instant messenger account and reconnect with some of my old friends. Everyone had so much to update. Thanks for the giveaway!
I stumbled this post (icefairy).
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!
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!

I have been so busy packing and getting ready to move I decided to take a nice long bubble bath and went and had my haircut and had my nails done now I feel like I can start again and be more relaxed.
My husband is deployed right now so its just me and my two year old. Finding time for myself is really hard right now, so I ordered a series of books and started reading them every night. Its keeping me from feeling lonely.
getting my daughter off to washington, dc for a rally, taking care of everything around here – I finally took time for me today and took a nice long nap – it made me feel so much better
My moment for me this week is catching up on all the television shows I’ve recorded. Thanks for the giveaway!
I stumbled, ordellknot
That’s what I need. A Moment For Me!!!
Me Time??? Sometimes, I forget what that is. lol. Seriously, my me time would be having two cups of tea in the early morning, before I wake the family for the day. I really need this little time to wake up and get moving.
Thanks so much for this giveaway and please enter me.
I met my girlfriends for lunch. That always lifts my spirits. Thanks for the giveaway.
I just reconnected with my best friend from college on facebook.
Reading before I go to sleep is my “me” time. I love lip products!
I snuck in my work outs right after the kids left for school
I am going to the hairdresser today to get a nice relaxing wash. it’s been so long since I’ve had someone other than me taking care of my hair. So thats my treat for me.
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!

I would love to win the beautiful gloss.
My moment for this week will be to go relax in a nice warm bubble bath without having to chase my two toddler boys around the house for at least 30 minutes! Thanks for a great giveaway
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!
stumbled with cheyli
I read a wonderful book from start to finish……..
This lip gloss looks great! This week I took some time to go out to lunch with some other moms–sans kids! It was nice to eat and talk and not feel like we had to rush. Thanks for the contest!
Me time is finding the time to exercise. I’m two for three this week. Thanks for a great giveaway!
looks like a nice giveaway, i would like to try that product
My me time is the time I work out at the gym.
thanx for the contest.
As a busy woman, I often forget to take time for myself so this week it involved a nice hot bubble bath with new bubble bath and new shampoo- grapefruit and pomegranate.
A new magazine today rounded out the week.
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.
My moment for me is trying to get this book finished…LOL!

My time for me is when I am surfing the net and drinking my coffee!
I am a CPA so chaos it about to start. I took a day off and visited all the local thrift stores. I love to bargain shop.

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!
Itry to spend my “me” time reading. Thanks!
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!!!
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.
I relaxed and watched LOST! it was a great break
