If your a Mom, we all know how hard you have to work at it everyday, no weekends off. You deserve a break today. You know its not possible for you to take an entire day off for yourself, no less a weekend, but you can primp and pamper yourself anytime in the comfort of your own home. Here are a few quick tips for you to pamper yourself when you need a jump start.

Turn On The Music

Go out and buy yourself a new CD. Make it one of your favorite artists, or buy someone you've only heard of. You can play the music while working in the kitchen, finishing up the laundry, or making the beds. It makes the time to faster, and you can dance a little while your working. You can also decide to just put your feet up and relax for a while.

Light Up A Candle

Get together some of your favorite scented candles, place them around the room you'll be in and light them up. It is so nice to smell the fragrance, and the candlelight is very relaxing. Keep some of your favorites around so you always have them.

How About A Bubble Bath

You can bring your candles and music in here if you like. Make a spa room for yourself for a little while. All you have to do is fill your tub with hot water, and while the water is running add some wonderful scented bubble bath to the tub. Some scents are more relaxing than others. Use you favorite or take my suggestions of mint, vanilla or lavender. You could also add a tiny bit of bath oil to soften up your skin. Get in, lay back and relax.

A Rose Petal Soak

What you/ve never had one? You don't know what your missing. Run your hot water into the tub and put some rose petals in the water, very luxurious.

If you don't want to soak in a tub than just fill a pan with warm water and rose petals and soak your feet in it. It is very relaxing and calming to use rose petals, and your feet will thank you.

Get A Manicure And A Pedicure

Come on Mom, who deserves it more than you? Call your sister or your girlfriend and plan a special day for the two of you. You could start with lunch and then head over to the manicurist. If that is too costly for you, serve the lunch in your home, and take turns giving each other a manicure and a pedicure. It is fun, and feels just as good.

How About A Facial

You can buy some facial mask and facial cream. You can smooth the mask over your face, and soak in your bubble bath. When you get out of the tub, you can remove your mask, and apply the cream to your face.

Daughter And Mom Day

Yes, you need pampering, and you deserve it, but so do your own daughters. It can be so much fun to share the secret to relaxing with your daughter. You can sit and chat for a long time giving each other a manicure and pedicure. She will enjoy a facial, and it will be a special time for you both to share with each other. For an extra special treat you could take her to the spa for these treatments. It will make her feel like a real lady, just like you.
