| What do you do for YOU!?!? Well, we all have lots of stuff going on in our life, whether it be family, kids, jobs, a home and of course our furbabes! I always worry about everybody and everything else buy myself. I worry and am always there for my two beautiful nephews, who are 4 years old and 2 months old. They are my world! I am unfortunately sick, with Crohn's disease. I am a student at a university. And of course I have my Lucky, that I worry about and make sure he is taken care of as best as can be! We all have lots of crazy stuff going on day-to-day, so it is easy for us to fall through the cracks. But we have to make sure we do take care of ourselves and occasionally do something special for us. Whether it be going to the salon, going for a daily walk alone, getting a new outfit, going out once a week with the gals, etc... For me, I get my nails done every two weeks. It is something small. But it is 2 hours every couple weeks, that I can relax and take time for ME and not have to worry or think of anything else. It is something so small. But it is something for me. So what do YOU guys do for YOURSELVES!?!?! You have to do something for you, because in the short time I have been here, I can tell that you all are great, loving, caring people who put your furbabes before yourselves!

| Sitting by your pond with a cup of coffee sounds like perfect bliss to me. One day I hope to have a koi pond to sit by and meditate. |

| I'll try again - Stupid Computer (operator) For my "me time" I love to spend quality time with the minis. This is an old pic, but one of my fondest memories. It's been a long time since I was able to spend much time with my beloved minis because of my leg injury. Here is one of my very favorite pics: The other truly relaxing thing I do is sew fancy dresses. When I have the need to vent some creativeness, I will whip up a dress or two. |

| Sometime I open some wine or make a beverage far too early in the evening during a stressful day. Or I make a cup of lose leaf tea. YUM Other times I will buy a box of hair dye and change my look or get a haircut. I also enjoy a MK microderm abrasion session to make me feel like I'm "glowing" Lately, listening to Christmas music has done it for me! Or warming a cube of "Festival of Trees" in my Scentsy warmer. OMG. I love the holidays!

| I sit on the deck read a book with my 4 or get up very early in the morning and snuggle on the couch with my 4 babies before I go to work.

| When I get just crazy... I take a bottle of wine into the bath and fill the tub and light a lot of candles. It's amazing how much something so simple can do.

| I am a runner, so my "me" time is going out, just me and my shoes and the earth at a nice park or horsetrails, or back country roads, and taking in a nice run, especially in the early mornings. That is the one time i feel at total peace with everything no matter what is happening and it makes me feel wonderful!

| One of my fav times is at night. Dh is asleep beside me, our 4 furkids all around us and I am laying there with Kindle in hand. That is my time. I had gotten fake nails and was keeping them up every so often, but kept losing one or two due to different things so the cost was getting terrible. Letting them get back into shape with out the fakes and will get regular manicares with my dtr soon.

| Well, I get a mani or pedi every 3 weeks. Once a week a take an hour and wash, dry and straighten my hair. I know some do this on a daily basis and it's just part of the routine, but for me it's work! Lol. Also I try to take a bath with a book and a glass of wine every other week. I have a super busy schedule and I don't even have kids! Lol

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I read a book, get my nails done or visit the mall. I go 2 nights a week to Zumba classes and even though I have 2 left feet and no rythem I enjoy it.
