Facial...

Most people don't realize how busy a Stay at home Mom's life can actually be. There is rarely time in the day that i can focus on doing something "just for me". I have to get up EARLY to feed my son (one of my favorite times of the day though). It's just me and him and he gets my full attention for about an hour before he winds down and goes back to sleep. While it is tempting to go back to sleep myself...i have to get up and start the day. Cause if i don't get a jump start on daily tasks/cleanup/crafting/coffee i won't be able to give my kids the time i want/need to give them.

Last Friday as i was cleaning/scrubbing my bathroom i ran across a tube of some Mud Facial Deep Pore Cleaning Stuff and all i wanted to do was stop and pamper myself but there isn't allot of "Pamper" time these days. Bathroom was in need of cleaning...one kid crying the other bopping around being a 2 year old. Which i have to admit she was actually playing good by her self for the moment. So i stop cleaning and started applying the mud goo. It said to leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Perfect...it might take that long to finish cleaning. I have to say...it gave me the incentive to work fast and clean ....and i felt super girly in the process. After the 20 minutes was up i was done scrubbing AND just in time to wash the mud off my face. Pretty nice i think. I got alittle "Me" time in the midst of kids and cleaning. Friday is my Scrub the kitchen and bathroom day. Why Friday? Because i love having those two places clean for the weekend and also i don't feel as bad if someone "drops" in. Just something i have done for the past 10 years. :)

Also while i was cleaning i decided to display my beauty products in a cute basket so that i could see them and actually use them. Now i look forward to my Friday Clean up routine...cause i get a "facial" too. :)



Yes that is some of the NASTY wall paper in the background! Not to fond of the tile work either. But that is a project for another day.
