Wanted to share some exciting & potentially jealousy-inducing news (sorry!): I won a $1000 spa gift certificate last week! Obviously, I'm over the moon. Like every other woman on the planet, I love me a spa visit. Massage, facial or manicure, it really doesn't matter - it's the experience of being pampered & waited on that's so... oh, what is it? DIVINE. I'd go as far as to say the experience is about as close as we American "commoners" ever get to feeling like royalty.
Now, I should mention that with the royal experience also comes a royally expensive price tag, which is why it's not something I treat myself to very often. I can count the number of massages I've had in my life on both hands, and manicures, for the most part, went out the door with the arrival of Baby S. So, when I saw a spa giveaway on Babybites, one of my favorite websites, naturally I signed up!
You can read all about how the giveaway was created here, but this is the gist: Lemi Shine (an environmentally-friendly dish washing detergent that specializes in hard water stains) wanted to do something nice for moms. The giveaway was their way of thanking us for our "word of mouth" promoting, which has made them one of the most popular cleaning products in America. Sufficed to say, if the next apartment we live in actually has a dishwasher, I'll be stocking up.
Now, I didn't think for a moment that I would actually win the giveaway (moral of the story: you just never know!). The question posed for comments was to name a New Years Resolution. My answer? Don't sweat the small stuff (still struggling with this one). I'm thinking, though, that using my spa gift card this year may actually help achieve this resolution... hee hee.
Babybites & Lemi Shine - thanks once again!
