TRWILSON - Glad to hear that yiur eczema is under control.
I think you say it yourself! Go ahead and pamper yourself you don't have to go to the spas and salons to get it done. Pull out a bowl, towel and candles and do=it=yourself with natural products!

When it comes to products: NATURAL! Neutrogena and Aveeno prodcuts tend to be good!
oatmeal is soothing to the skin and so is milk!

As far as drawing attention to yourself...most people who look at us only do so for a short period of time and then they are thinking and looking elsewhere!

Well, I hope some of this helps! And by the way I had eczema (not bad or rare form)...but I do have scaring on my arms and legs and neck from chemo. And yes, at times I don't attention. But again, think of them as a nu part of your beauty and in time so will others!

Take Care!!!!

I "NEVER" pamper myself! I never have the time. I claim not to have the money, but I use it as an excuse to get out of invites. I truly need and want to change this! I was diagnosed with a rare form of eczema, causes unknown. This condition has affected my hands legs and sometimes my face. My dermatologist has it under control, but the scars keep me from wanting to get a manicure, pedicure or anything that draws attention to any of my scars! If anyone knows of any product that is good for very sensitive skin with blemishes please, let me know! This Queen wants to pamper herself. Just need to figure out how!

I really need to focus on this challenge. I don't pamper myself enough. I think I'm going to have a Epsom salt and lavender bath.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you've got an awesome routine going on there. Good for you, you deserve to take that time for you.

Check out some of the pampering recipes. They're fun and do wonders for body, mind and spirit.

Hello all! There are some great ideas on here! I treat myself everyday to a candlelit shower(tub too tight or hips to big, take your pick, lol) with soft or zen inspired music. After a nice oil rubdown and some very comfortable, soft pj's or camisole and a facial. if I don't do this my mood is altered. I also visit the nail shop for pedi, mani and eyebrows on a regular. I would lke to incorporate a deeper hollistic approach though were I'm actually cleansing toxins from my body and spirit. All in time..

Im in with you! Not pampering myself is part of why i havent noticed this 100 lbs creep up on me. Ignoring my body, my skin, my nails, etc is a quick way to let urself go.

This is me bouncing back, and I will check in here and share with my sistahs!

So tonight, after i have my WW friendly tacos and salad, im going to give my hands a well needed "facial" exfoilate, massage and moisturize (excuse my spelling SP doesnt have spell check lol)

Man, I feel relaxed already reading what everyone did to pamper themselves

I am in. One night after I came home from work, by boo fixed me a nice warm bubble bath and lit some candles. I added a little bit of olive oil to the bath. That was the best pampering ever. I plan on getting my eyebrows arched on Friday or Saturday.

Ooooh, when I tell you guys....I soooo stocked up at BBW!!! I have so many shower gels, lotions, etc and I stocked them up in my linen closet so when it's time for a special event like a bday or something, I already have a gift for someone..just need to buy the gift bag! And just to think I paid about $6 for two items that would've normally cost $20-24. You can't beat that! And I killed it with VS online!! All my undies should be here by tomorrow. I can't wait!!! Don't you just feel so good when you have on new, sexy undies?!

QVC has an Ojon Tawaka set that includes a large brown ball that you wet and then use to scrub all over your body. It's great for removing dead skin and smells wonderful... I'm on autodelivery.

Hello Ladies,
MaMa2002, Here is a facial moisturizer that I know will work, to get rid of pimples.
Use ½ cup raw Shea butter, ¼ cup of Aloe Vera gel and add 2 drops of tea tree oil, 3 drop of lemon and lavender essential oil. Shea butter will fade dark spots. For over night quick fix for pimples use Preparation H. It also reduce puffy eyes. Apply at night before bed you will be amazed.

To get a restfull night sleep Ladies, drink a cup of warm Chamomile Tea before bed time.

So I am now working on a pamper party

- fondue of some sort - healthy one.
- a gift bag for each with a book in it by Lisa Bevere called "The True Measure of a Woman", some nail polish and bath stuff.

- meet at my place and veg out and chill together!! And maybe a chic flic!!!

I can hardly wait!!

MAMA2002
I believe that Noxzema has an acne cleansing cream.
I'm not sure what will help pimples, wish I could help . I plan on going to Esthetician school at the end of the year. Hopefully you won't have these problems by then, but in case you do, maybe I can help then. If I find out something before then, I'll let you know!

So glad for your new hair color!!! You go Queen!

LATTE22LADY,
Can't wait to hear how your derma. facial goes this Thursday!
