1 Kate February 25, 2008 at 12:54 pm: The last time I pampered myself was a bath I took…with my daughter! LOL I added some hot water and bubbles after she got out and my sweet husband put her in bed. It wasn’t perfect, but it was nice!
2 franticallysimple February 25, 2008 at 1:11 pm: Hmmm…
I indulged in a good cry this mornng. Does that count?
3 Hilary February 25, 2008 at 1:17 pm: When was the last time I pampered myself? I think it had to have been over 12 years ago when I got a pregnancy massage by a massage student during the first of 5 pregnancies. Otherwise, I consider myself pampered when I can sneak away to the grocery store without kids. I probably need a vacation more than beauty products. Any chance of a vacation getaway?
4 Matt & Kari February 25, 2008 at 2:45 pm: Does watching all of the Oscars hoopla while my husband took charge of the kid count as pampering? It felt like a nice escape! Thanks for all the giveaways
5 KJ February 25, 2008 at 2:48 pm: Ummmm…I think it was last July, right after we moved. I got a pedicure. Could really use a little pampering these days.
6 Wisconsin Mommy February 25, 2008 at 2:59 pm: The last time I got my hair cut, the stylist took a minute after washing my hair and massaged my scalp and neck for what felt like five minutes of heaven. Aaaaaah. I may go back and just ask for a hairwash!!
7 brandy w February 25, 2008 at 3:01 pm: honestly i can’t remember. i’ve had three kids in 3 years. ages 2,1, and 2 months. my husband never helps so probably not in 4 years

8 Kristine February 25, 2008 at 3:03 pm: Ooo, I found a massage school that gives $30 1-hour massages. Magic. Definitely worth the money to have a relaxed feeling good mama in the house. Last one was 6 weeks ago, but I’ve got one scheduled for this week. I’d love to be entered!!
9 windycindy February 25, 2008 at 3:06 pm: Actually, it was this past weekend. I slept in and took a long scented bubble bath! I lit candles during my bath, used very scented and soft feeling bath products! I took the time to cut my hair and used a special conditioner on it. Then, I put on the lotion that matches my favorite perfume and stayed in lounge clothing the rest of the day! Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

17 Milk Mama February 25, 2008 at 3:59 pm: Well… the first REAL time was when I was about 8 months pregnant (my daughter is now fifteen months!) and my hubby paid for my birthday to have a pedicure and manicure. It was so nice!
Besides that, I bought some face wash a few weeks ago. I thought that counted! LOL!
18 Kristie February 25, 2008 at 4:02 pm: I really don’t remember the last time I pampered myself, maybe for my wedding when I went and got my hair done.

22 Pennies In My Pocket February 25, 2008 at 4:26 pm: Oh wow, I can’t even remember. I *think* the last time was when I got myself a pedicure when I was prego and feelin’ the symptoms of pregnancy….more than a year ago!

23 moushka February 25, 2008 at 4:31 pm: Pampering myself would be locking the bathroom door and sitting in my garden tub with aromatic bubbles tickling my nose and with a hot and steamy romance novel….gee that was 2 months ago….time to do it again! LOL!

33 picklemommy February 25, 2008 at 6:44 pm: I painted my fingernails tonight, and painted my daughters toes at the same time- my sweet hubby put the boys to bed so the pickle and I could have “paint toes”.

47 PS February 26, 2008 at 6:27 am: I took a nice long bath the other evening, mainly because I was cover in paint, but I think it counts as pampering!

51 CarolynW February 26, 2008 at 7:55 am: I had a massage this week, only because I find if I have one it either stops the cold dead or lessens it’s severity. Still stuffy but not bad…
52 ratphooey February 26, 2008 at 7:56 am: I stole away one Saturday afternoon last month and had lunch with a gal pal, then went for mani/pedis. I think it’s time for more pampering…

58 NSMOM February 26, 2008 at 9:52 am: Hi… last time I pampered myself (if you want to count it) was when I was home sick and the nanny took the boys out to their daily activity. I ran out of my room, filled the tub really quick (it’s in the boys’ bathroom so I rarely get this opportunity) and took a five minute jaccuzi tub (stressing the whole time about when were the boys going to get home so I could get back to my room before they did!).

66 JenO February 26, 2008 at 5:24 pm: Pampered myself? Uh…does a hot shower, lotion (applied by myself, not a masseuse or even my hubby) and clean sheets on the bed count? That would have been back in December…yeesh!
67 megankortepeter February 26, 2008 at 6:11 pm: The only pampering I do involves diapers. I would love to lock myself in the bathroom and enjoy this.
68 lovedandamazed February 26, 2008 at 6:19 pm: The last time I truly pampered myself was in January when I used my foot massager, rubbed my feet with a GREAT sample of foot cream that had come in the mail, then curled up with a cup of tea and read for an hour. That was really, really nice!
I need some new facial scrub so I would love to win this. Thanks for the chance!

76 Tin February 27, 2008 at 1:53 pm: It took me a long time to figure out when I last pampered myself. I think it was 2o months ago, after I had my first baby, and my mother-in-law took me to get a pedicure.
77 bwilltrout February 27, 2008 at 6:33 pm: It has been a long time…. I have a 2 year old granddaughter almost every night so not much time as I work during the day.
Maybe later there will be time for me. Sounds good anyway.
78 Katie February 27, 2008 at 9:36 pm: 1 hour ago I tried to take a long relaxing bath with the new John Grisham book. About 10 minutes into it my 3 year old son ran in and almost knocked the paper cover of the book into the tub, as I reached to save it I dropped the book into the tub- not so relaxing after all!
79 angelaandconnor at gmail.com February 27, 2008 at 10:17 pm: Mmmm.. The massage I got the week before my son was born.. so I guess that was uh almost 10 months ago.
I blogged you too

angiegammage at rogers dot com
82 Sundi February 28, 2008 at 11:52 am: Does taking a shower count? Because I consider that pampering! Comforting, quiet, and no kids — heaven! So I guess…this morning!
83 Nemesis February 28, 2008 at 12:59 pm: Pampering, huh? My sweet sister painted my toenails a few months ago, does that count?
84 Byron, Ashley, and Lila February 28, 2008 at 3:10 pm: Hmm…the last time I pampered myself? Well, I guess it was probably the lead-up to my wedding. I wanted to look my best of course! Since then I haven’t had the time or the money to save any time for myself! I guess watching Jon & Kate every Monday night is the closest I get.
85 bison61 February 28, 2008 at 3:35 pm: the last time-2 years ago when I got a massage at a local spa-loved it!

87 Tisa February 29, 2008 at 7:31 am: I can’t remember the last time I pampered myself! The closest I come is getting up a 1/2 hr early each morning to relax and drink a cup of chai team before the kids are up.
jmagloro[at]ywave.com
88 sarah b. February 29, 2008 at 10:27 am: Hmm. Good question. The last time I pampered myself was when I got my very first professional massage last December… but only because my mom paid for it! haha
89 Erica February 29, 2008 at 11:19 am: Last time I pampered myself was two weeks ago when I used a great foot mask thing from Lush – I coated my feet with it and wrapped them in plastic bags for 15 minutes. It tingled!
90 Michelle @ [ real neat ] February 29, 2008 at 12:44 pm: Hmmm… Does spa day at MOPS count? I got a haircut, had my makeup done, and enjoyed a back massage. I was definitely pampered, and for FREE!
91 Paige February 29, 2008 at 7:26 pm: Wow, I had some ice cream that was WAY too good on Monday, and had a GREAT workout yesterday, so I guess that will have to do.
92 Rynell February 29, 2008 at 9:11 pm: One weekend last month I read four books in rapid succession.
93 Brooke March 1, 2008 at 6:47 am: Pampered myself beauty wise? My wedding night over 6 years ago. But I do have big plans for me after I’m done nursing this last baby.
94 Panjo Kids March 1, 2008 at 8:30 am: Well, I try to take bubble baths regularly, but REALLY pampered was 3 years ago in Thailand, I got a few Thai massages (fantastic) and my husband and I splurged on a spa day with wraps, massages, etc. It was great!
95 zamejias March 1, 2008 at 8:45 am: Last year during a SPArty sponsored by the company I worked for.

ruth.gray at gmail dot com
104 Sarah S March 1, 2008 at 9:04 pm: I pampered myself today by taking a long shower and actually shaving my legs. Sad that I call that pampering, but with a 9-month-old, that’s as good as it gets right now! sarah2405 at hotmail dot com
105 Shelby March 1, 2008 at 10:11 pm: I just got married last month and we are due to have our first child any day now. On the days leading up to the wedding, since I was 8 months pregnant, my feet and legs were terribly swollen. So I pampered myself the day before by going and having a pedicure. I have never had one before, but since I can’t reach my own feet now I had to have someone do it for me! It was very relaxing especially since I know with our new addition coming rest is probably something we won’t be seeing a lot of for a while!
