Tips to take care of your inside – starting with a healthy breakfast!

This week we have been challenging you to take some time for yourselves. Whether it’s a facial, a manicure or pedicure, a hot bath or a healthy meal, we hope you have set aside even a few minutes just for YOU. It’s amazing how refreshed just a little bit of pampering makes you.

We wanted to take that challenge too – so Elizabeth and I took some time this week to pamper ourselves too! Unfortunately not together. :( We had to have our Spa time states apart.

I will confess that I have been pretty terrible about pampering time. I don’t know when the last time I took some time for a pedicure or manicure, much less a facial. So this week was so good for me too!
You saw that I had to test out our facial recipe – I hope you haven’t been scarred for life from the pictures. :) My face felt so soft for days – it really made a difference in my skin.
I also took some time to pamper my toes – I decided that since I had cute new slippers I couldn’t very well try them out without having a mini-pedicure. It’s been forever since I painted my toenails – I need to do it more often!

Don’t laugh. I have super tiny pinky toenails. It’s ridiculous really.

Can I also take a minute to tell you how much fun it’s been working with Elizabeth? This is the first event-type thing I’ve done on the blog with someone else – and I had a blast! It was fun coordinating and communicating with someone – and Elizabeth was the perfect partner. Plus she’s super creative and has such great ideas. She’s the best!

So what have you done this week? I want to see it all!
It’s time to link up your spa recipes, tips, and tutorials- and remember – this is a blog hop so if you link up here, they show up at Twelve Crafts, and vice versa!
And because it’s a Blog Hop, you can grab the code and add the links to your site too! Just click the link that says, “Get Code Here”.

If you link up we’d love for you to add the Blog Spa Button to your post – and take some time to visit other links!

Don’t forget to enter the giveaways – they close on Feb. 2. We’ll announce the winners Thursday, Feb. 3!
Thanks for sharing Blog Spa Week with us!!

Wow – this week has been so fun and has gone by so fast!

I hope that you have been encouraged and refreshed. Elizabeth and I want to challenge you to take some time for yourself. Even if it’s just one little thing.  Exercise for 30 minutes, eat a well-balanced meal, read a couple of chapters from a good book, just sit and do nothing for ten minutes, file your nails, take a warm bath . . . whatever helps you feel recharged, renewed and refreshed. 

We invite you to write up a post about how you have been inspired to care for yourself this week, and link it up on Saturday (tomorrow!) with all the other spa tips/tutorials and ideas that will be linked up in our blog hop.  After all, Blog Spa isn’t so much about pampering ourselves for indulgence . . . it’s about taking care of ourselves so that we can be even better moms, wives, employees, grandmas, friends . . . people. 

So it’s time to head over to Twelve Crafts and check out the last awesome Blog Spa tutorial!.
