I would love to win! If I did I would use the money for a pedicure. . . I am that kind of girl! I got a 1 hour massage for my birthday and am going this week before the fun of the new year begins. I have four kiddos of my own and love to buy things for my classroom. . . so doing something for myself is a real treat!

What a great giveaway! I spend the last few days before we go back doing nothing but playing with my kids (4 and 7). We play, play, and play some more before things get hectic. I am a huge fan of Thirty-One bags and would use the gift card for a pedicure! I didn't get to that before school started. Thanks again for such a wonderful giveaway. amymcelveen@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI like to buy myself new clothes and get my hair cut.

Oh, I just love your ideas (LOVED the car detailing)---and it started me thinking about what I do. We ARE creatures of habit, aren't we?
ReplyDeleteI would LIKE to say that I get my house in tip-top shape, so that I can sort of 'slide' on the housework for September, and it won't get up and walk away. :) I am trying---not sure how well this will be accomplished this year.
I also like to have some very high protein things in my refrigerator so that I can snack on them during my 'lunch'. (which is something I don't really get in September---does anyone?). I'm also going to prep a lot of frozen pre-prepped crock pot meals (thank you pinterest!).
I get my hair done with highlights---put my best face forward ;).
Thanks for your giveaway! :)

I got my hair cut and for the first time got massage, the man who did it is blind, I was amazyed at how nice it felt. Also finished a book and passed it on to a friend.

Tanya, I love your ideas... I usually shop for clothes for myself and my son, do a deep clean of the house, get my once a year pedi at a salon and stock the house with food!!
ReplyDeleteAs mundane as it may sound, I usually treat myself to a few new back to school outfits (including shoes of course). I also get a new pedicure so my feet look great (and it's a treat for me) in my flip flops! I also stock up on K-cups and Diet Pepsi for school! They get me through the day!

Thanks for the sweet giveaway. I'd like to get myself a pair of winter boots.
ReplyDeleteOur lists are almost the same. I've been looking for new moisturizers so I'm going to look for the ones you posted.
ReplyDeleteI always buy these extras to keep in my classroom (for those hectic mornings I'm rushed at home). mascara, tooth brush, mouth wash, deodorant, lip color, mints, healthy snacks.
I also like to get a new outfit, haircut and comfortable shoes.
thanks for an amazing giveway

Love your blog and this giveaway! I will "get my hair did"....I feel all the teachers cringing at those words already. They were even hard to type. :) I'll also get my nails done.

Your Giveaway is Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would put it in the tank, throw the kids in the back seat and go for a drive to see what adventure finds us.
Oh my what a great giveaway! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

I have been working in my classroom nearly everyday in July. I refuse to go in on the weekends making that my fun time! ( I do bring things home sometimes!). Today I ate lunch with my two children, their spouses and 5 grandchildren after church! Then I came home and floated around in the little pool in our 108 degree weather!

I'm moving to a really nice sized room this year, so I've been working to get it ready. I will have a mani/pedi and have my hair cut and colored (let's keep this our little secret) just before school starts. Thank you very much for the opportunity to win these great gifts! Good luck with the new year!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI always get myself a new outfit for the first day of school. You know how you feel when you have something new to wear? Also, on the first day of school I do not cook! We are always so exhausted that first day (my hubby teaches middle school). It is so kind of you to offer these wonderful goodies. Thanks for the opportunity and I hope you have a fantastic school year.

ReplyDeleteOMG! This is a GREAT GIVEWAY!!! Thank you for this. If I win, I would buy myself some new SCHOOL SHOES<<>>> I would buy two pairs. The first one would be a super cute pair for meet the teacher, and the second one would be a comfy pair to sit under my desk for those got to keep teaching days no matter how much my feet hurt. Thanks again for the chance to win!

I have to admit that your post made me realize that I do nothing for myself to prepare for school - that is so sad. Everything I do is for my kiddos and the classroom. Soooooo with that said - I am going to try to do something special just for myself. That sounds soooo great. I think a pedicure would be wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Now that I have a little one at home, I like to spend those final days before busy schedules take over with him. I know that this is not exactly a "just for me" kind of thing but it makes me feel a little less guilty spending most of my waking hours away from him. :)

I don't do anything in particular for myself- or should I say I didn't. You are absolutely right though- it is something I will be adding to my back to school list this year and in the future!

I like to get a new haircut/highlights and sometimes a pedicure. I LOVE your blog!! joannasero@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI usually get my hair highlighted (and low lighted!) to clean up my summer/beach hair! I also like to get a pedicure and a new outfit for my parent meeting night! Thanks for the opportunity- what fun!

I make a hair appointment, get a pedi, get a new pair of go-to black flats and go hardcore grocery shopping! All three of which are being done in the next week, because I go back on Monday! =(

I have not been good at taking care of me lately! Not good!!! I've stocked up on enough school uniform clothes for my daughter, diapers for my son for his caregiver's house, but nothing for me...yet! Since I'm going back to work from a year long maternity leave, my wardrobe needs a slight facelift. I am going to buy myself some new clothes and get my highlights done. Thanks for your post. I really enjoyed it!
