Do You Get Manicures, Massages and Facials?

Started by Emily , author of Busy Mom 1/30/2012 1:53:56 PM

After becoming a Mom I know many of us don't take care of ourselves like we used to. 

I went and had a manicure a few weeks ago, just a simple one, (for $12) and it was amazing! It made me feel good the whole week! I have always wanted to try a facial (I've never had one before).

What did you do for yourself beauty-wise before children that you don't do now? What is your typical beauty routine now?

I took way more time pampering myself before kids!  Now I take a quick shower, moisturize and I'm pretty much done!  I do make sure to get my eyebrows done every 2-3 weeks because I just don't feel put together if I don't.

I would recommend a facial.  I just had my first one a month ago and my skin looked AMAZING!

Same here. I don't even hardly get haircuts anymore! Maybe I should buy a facial for myself for Valentine's Day :)

I get a pedicure or a massage as a treat once in awhile! So nice to pamper yourself. 


Me too. I love painted toenails.

Hi ladies, I am a hairdresser by trade and I don't even give myself manicures. I shouldn't say I don't have the time, but I just don't make the time. Funny what "was" important, now is not so important. I have though, gotten back into taking care of myself here lately with primping and pampering, since all kiddos are in school. I'll be turning 40 soon so, I may just need to splurge, what, on "Myself", lol. I just know that when all of my kiddos were babies, last one being 6 that it made it so hard to even get a shower let alone nails done and makeup on. How I survived is a mystery. Great question.


I LOVE facials they are my favorite present to give because so many women never do it, such a treat! Before kids I got pedicures and facial often now they are farther between but when money allows they happen and I love them all the more for how infrequent they are!

Haha I know how you feel. My only child is 4 so he's getting to the age where I can take showers and do more things for myself once in awhile. I can actually paint my nails and let them dry without having to wrangle kids!! I better cherish that time before I have more lol.

I used to go to the salon and have a manicure and pedicure at least once a month, now I barely remember to go every six months.  If I manage to shower every other day I'm doing really really well.  So sad.  It's not that I don't do anything for myself, but there are so many things I want to do it's just not possible to do it all.

Its hard to fit into my schedule but I do try and get pedicures in the summer and treat myself to a massage every now and again.

I don't get facials anymore, but I have been thinking about investing in a Clarisonic! And I treat myself to a mani/pedi every once and a while. That's quality "me" time! smiley
