Hi adelekeegan,
I understand what you mean because I know a lot of people who just hate anyone touching them let alone giving them a full body massage I suppose it would feel like invasion of the hands. I think that it would not be beneficial to have such a treatment and I am sure that you find other treatments that would make up for "me time"

The majority of things I do for myself. Nails I think are important to do yourself as a form of advertising, so I always do my finger & toe nails. Waxing and tinting I'm usually too tight to pay somebody else to do. I wax my legs, underarms, bikini, eyebrows and sometimes tint my eyelashes.

Massage is something I do try to have done regularly, but that is a matter of necessity, not luxury.

I do agree that it is important to have treatments yourself. Earlier this year I decided to start putting money into a seperate account each week & it was only to be used for pampeering myself, but unfortunately I still never do these things often enough.

I go for a massage once a month, but that's about it for me. I do have the time to be pampered, but not always the money. I do my own nails and waxing as I prefer to do them myself.

i like to have treatments ..i like having ME time...away from my husband and away from his annoying & whingy,whiney teenage son and daughter !.. sorry i don't mean to sound horrid i like children but i've done my time as mum with my own son who is now 18 ,all grown up and making his way in the world..i feel it's time for me ..ive worked hard all my life (as you do) i was a nurse for 11 years so didn't get anytime for myself with juggling work ,bringing up my son aswell as looking after my house and being the dutiful wife (when i was married to hubs no1)..now i make time for myself and never miss since being a beauty & holistic therapist...i like to have a body massage & indian head massage once a week another therapist friend and i swap treatments,then every 4 weeks we tint each others eyebrows & eyelashes ..i do my own manicures, pedicures,waxing & facials & all the little things such as shaping own eyebrows ,my nail enhancements get done from a CND trained Nail tech whenever i fancy having them usually for special occassions or if i'm going on holiday.. i do massage & holistic therapies so my hands are always covered with oil\cream and the like ..therefore i don't have the same privilage like i used to regarding nail enhancements as i have to keep nails short

wow janey you go girl, well done for looking after number 1, you know where you're at and you certainly know where you are going, I love the fact that you have done your work and now you have set time aside for YOU. I wish you a long happy life, and youthfullness always

Hi!

The only thing i get done is waxing because i forever tell my clients and would be clients the benefits of waxing so have to practice what i preach lol. A friend of mine does all my waxing for free and i do hers in return! We have been talking about doing facials as treat but not got round to it as yet! I would feel guilty about spending money on myself cos i feel i should spend it on my hubby and kids!
But then again maybe if i treated myself i would not be the crabit mother that i can often be!

awww beaubeaut i like this thread i think it is something to get off our chests aswell that we have worked hard & we are entitled to me time..we do clients everyday & we often tthink to ourselves "i wish it was me and i fancy having a treatment for a change" know what i mean, so way to go to you for posting & sharing it...s.mill why feel guilty? your kids love you hun and so does ur hubby they probably like you having treatments once in a while & probs encourage you to have them seeing their mum pretty and want to see mum happy & contented so keep it up i'm sure they'll tell u the same...and yes ur right they probs much prefer a happy mum than a crabit mum ..my son who is 18 gets asked if i'm his big sis when i'm up in scotland to visit him.

thats the same for me too - i hate doing anything on myself, i NEED pampering - lol

anyone willing

i pay to get my nails done as i can only do one hand myself!i paint my own toe nails and do all my waxing myself,i dont really get anything else done as i dont have the time!

I get my nails done every 2 weeks, my hair cut and coloured every 6 weeks
a facial once a month.

i do my own waxing and pedicures eyelash tinting etc

and hubby to be gives me my back massages and he is really good at it and he massages my feet!.

i feel the same as you! lol

hate being on the receiving end for some reason fidget way too much!!x

I don't have many treatments, similarly to a lot of the replies so far...... I have to prioritise where my money goes and I've just re-started horse-riding......

I do treatment swap with a massage therapist once a month but she is moving to the US in a couple of months, so I'll be back to no massage again soon!
