Do you ever do something special for yourself? So many women have the “me last” tendency that I am beginning to think it is inbred. Do you ever do something special for yourself? Get a mani/pedi? Color your hair? Take a bubble bath? Hire a cleaning service once a week?

I never cared for pedicures until my husband took me to this awesome place in Manhattan called Bloomie Nails. The place was NOT CHEAP and we only went a few times, but Ive never had a pedicure like that anywhere else. I seldom get a pedicure, heck I think doing something for myself would be scheduling a pedicure regularly for my husband… if you know what I mean. When Herbal Essences had the free mani-/pedi offer out last year I gave the certificates to my niece. That is how seldom I go.

Color my hair!? I’ll have you know this red is natural… well, the chemicals are basically from something in nature (or a lab), aren’t they? I used to spend a fortune on my hair and then I discovered Regis Hair Salon was one of the gift cards we could select from Delta Rewards air miles (my husband always has tons of air miles). So, now I spend nothing on my hair and I’m not sure that counts as doing something special for myself.

Looks like I may have to find something else.

*insert evil grin*

I suppose I could take a bubble bath but we only have a tub in the bathroom my son primarily uses. He’s home from school right now, so that won’t work. Maybe in the fall after he’s left and I can fumigate and disinfect the place.

I would looooove a weekly cleaning service. And I mean love it. Maybe I’ll set up some affiliates so I can eventually afford to have someone clean my house while I type on the computer all day?

So, what is something special to do for myself? It doesn’t have to be costly, and it can involve chocolate! Hey, that’s it…. maybe I’ll hunt through my coupons and look for some chocolate coupons. Too bad those free M&M singles coupons haven’t arrived yet.

And that will conclude my daily mutterings.
