Treat Yourself

As a full time work at home mom, having time for yourself is such a luxury. On the average day, I would say that the only time that I really have for myself, by myself is when I take a shower.  And most of the time.. it's a hurried shower, mind you!  Get the basics done, in and out in a swoosh.  The direct Malay translation would be bathing like goats. Haa! Other than that, is when the kids are already asleep.  By which, most of the time, I would already be tired and ready to call it a day as well.  When is a mom to get some R&R?  A facial, a massage, retail therapy? A manicure for my rough hands and plain nails?  A spa pedicure for my tired, achy, scaly feet? All of the above please!

I'm personally not a nail polish person but I do love a good manicure and pedicure.  Many a times I have thought about giving myself this treat and many a times I talked myself out of it citing that surely I can cut my own nails?  Hence the lackluster state of my hand and toenails now!  So anyone thinking of a birthday or Christmas present to give me, there you go. Go on, treat this momma! Heeee...
