Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
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!
Hmmm…
I indulged in a good cry this mornng. Does that count?
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?
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 :)
Ummmm…I think it was last July, right after we moved. I got a pedicure. Could really use a little pampering these days.
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!!
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

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!!
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

A couple weeks ago I had strep throat and so I took a nice long bubble bath that smelled like lavender. So nice!
I got to go out alone without baby! It was a trip to the gym on Sunday and I had a great workout.
Sadly, only “pampering” i have done in about a year is highlights 9 mths ago.
About a year ago I got a pregnancy massage. Oh to have such free time again…
Last time I pampered myself?
I let the hair stylist wash my hair two days ago! Whhhhew!! That’s pampering for you.. *sighs*… I really need to get out more.
The last time I pampered myself was on my birthday I went to a day spa and had a pedicure and massage. thanks for the awesome giveaway!
hmmmm…about 6 months ago i did the whole “oil up your hair, soak and scrub your feet” thing at home…was wonderful…must do that again… :)
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!
I really don’t remember the last time I pampered myself, maybe for my wedding when I went and got my hair done.
I know most people wouldn’t consider it pampering, but I go 5 days a week to the gym and love my time to get away and make my body stronger.
I recently found a job after months of searching and I treated myself to a pedicure to celebrate.
Um…I can’t remember. Honestly! Unless using hand lotion counts, the last thing I remember was getting my hair done at the salon, over a year before my three year old was born! Eeek.
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!
Great giveaway!
~melody~
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!
last time i was pampered was a couple days after new years, i got a pedicure and a manicure. but does having your toddler along count?!
The last time I pampered myself was 11 months ago, before my daughter was born!! I need pampering!
The last time would be the pedicure I got for my friends wedding. That was in August. Time to revive.
Can’t even think of a time! Guess I’m going to have to work on that this week!

Hmm…maybe last August when I got a professional haircut! Thanks.

I had a pedicure back in November. Gee, has it really been that long!? ( meg dot wilson at gmail dot com )
Hmmm… does actually taking the time to make myself lunch count? If it does then it was four days ago!
I’m a Resident Director of a women’s dorm that houses 200…so before the semester started (September 2007) I had a great massage! I’m overdue now….
The last time I pampered myself was last month when I took a 2-week holiday in Dubai. Went on a shopping spree (due to their sales carnival) and ate such amazing cuisine. It was wonderful!
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”.
Just this past weekend. A girlfriend was visiting and we took my daughter and all had pedicures. What a treat!
Last time – Summer of 2005 with a spa day. It’s now 2008!
Ummmm…My husband took me away 3 months ago for a weekend with no kids…we did Christmas shopping the whole weekend and no pampering, but still…no kids!

Well… my husband took me to the symphony last weekend. Does that count? So fun!!!
I guess the last time I pampered myself was about a month ago when I went to Starbucks with a friend. I “Pamper” my little boy every day though. :)
I think the last time I pampered myself was when I went on a cruise with my husband in May ’06. We had just found out I was pregnant, and there has been no time since to pamper me.
When I hogged out on ice cream last night after the kids went to bed. LOL

A person has to make time for themselves. I pamper myself once a month by having a few hours at the spa.
My girlfriend and I went to the nail salon yesterday and I got a pedicure.
i honestly can’t remember! sad, huh?
A couple of months ago a few friends and I spent an afternoon experimenting with homemade face masks and stuff. That was fun!
The last time I pampered myself was in December when I got my hair cut AND highlighted. A couple hours w/out the little one…oohhh so nice!! 4meggs@gmail.com
I think mommy pampering only happens in a hurry. My sweet husband surprised me with a great massage for Valentine’s Day this year.
I took a nice long bath the other evening, mainly because I was cover in paint, but I think it counts as pampering!
Pampered myself??? That’s a tough one! I had my hair cut and eyebrows waxed before Christmas, does that count?
Would love this product!
hianded[at]earthlink[dot]net
it’s been so long that i can’t remember :”(
The last time I pampered myself was a couple of weeks ago. I took a long, hot bath, complete with candles, a Josh Groban CD, and a favorite magazine…Heaven!
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…
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…
The last time I pampered myself was early December. I took the gift certificate my Mom gave me for my birthday earlier in the year and went to the nail salon. I had a FABULOUS Spa Pedicure…..ahhh….now I just need to go back!!! This would be a wonderful indulgence!
Last time I pampered myself? Last January (2007) I took my mom to the spa for her 60th bday and got a massage myself, too!
I am in major need of a full pampering, but lately every single day I take a hot bath with fancy soaps. That is quite pampering. This facial scrub looks great- would love to win!

The last time was when my husband gave me a facial for my birthday and I spent most of the day at the spa, lounging around.
Oh my, I have four kids and one is a newborn. I can’t remember the last time I pampered myself. I did take a quick shower last week, does that count?
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!).
I currently have the flu so I pampered myself yesterday by turning on the Doodlebops and laying on the couch while the kids danced around.
The last time I was pampered was at Christmas when my mother took me to get a pedicure…it was so relaxing!
Wow the last time I was pampered, I don’t really remember any time except when I got married almost 6 years ago… wow I am sooo due for some pampering, lol.
The last time it happened to me was last weekend when I went to the local spa to get massage. It was awesome!
The last time I did any pampering was right before my son was to be released from the NICU after 5 long months, I treated myself before he came home..and would like another go around now. lol

Last nite I got to go to Target all by myself after school got done. It was so nice to get to wander the aisles without the kids asking if I was done yet!
hmmm…. i got a pedicure (about 9 months ago) when i was pregnant, and i still need to use a gift certificate i have for a massage. : )
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!
The only pampering I do involves diapers. I would love to lock myself in the bathroom and enjoy this.
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!

i got my hair done last week. does that count??
The last time was a nice steamy bath last Thursday.
I took a nap yesterday… does that count?
I honestly can’t remember the last time I pampered myself! I’m way overdue. Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
If massage counts it must have been last week or the week before with my beloved.
never…well maybe in my single days.
I’m ashamed to say that I don’t remember the last time I pampered myself. I really need to take some me time on a regular basis. Thanks for a thoughtful giveaway.

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.
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.
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!
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

I really, really can’t remember the last time I got pampered…probably when I was pregnant with my now 2 year old.
um i can’t even remember the last time i pampered myself – how sad is that?!

Does taking a shower count? Because I consider that pampering! Comforting, quiet, and no kids — heaven! So I guess…this morning!
Pampering, huh? My sweet sister painted my toenails a few months ago, does that count?
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.
the last time-2 years ago when I got a massage at a local spa-loved it!

I rarely pamper myself. I do have a massage chair though and laid back in that about 3 days ago to try to soothe my aches:)
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.

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
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!
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! :)
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.
One weekend last month I read four books in rapid succession.
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.
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!
Last year during a SPArty sponsored by the company I worked for.
I’ve blogged about this contest here.

MMmmmm maybe when I had a manicure last Spring!!
I bought a latte this morning. :)
I just took a bath while all three kiddos were napping…and nobody woke up until I was done…luxurious!

A month ago, my husband took our little daughter to his parents’ house for the weekend, and I exercised, ate out and read magazines! I was a new woman when he got back!
I use my foot bath every Sunday

Hmmm…maybe before my first child, five years ago??? :0
I took an extra long shower this morning…it’s been AGES since I’ve done that!
I pampered myself with a nice haircut/color and a pedicure right before I quit my job to be a stay at home mom. I figured I wouldn’t be able to afford it after that!

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
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!
