My baby boy is going to turn two next month. TWO. YEARS. OLD. I can't believe how fast this has gone! It has been the best, most difficult, most life-altering, most precious, breathe in, breathe out, wonderful, how-does-he-run-so-fast? amazing time in my life. I am looking forward to watching him continue to grow and learn about the world around him. But just so I don't forget what he's doing right now, here is Mr. Jackson Donald Rinella.
Are you still feeling sluggish after eradicating your home of all the Easter Candy? Do you need a little relaxation and pampering? Are you long overdue for some alone time, but just too busy and on a tight budget? You've come to the right place.
If you're like me, squeezing in the time for a little self therapy (surely she's joking...) proves to be quite the challenge. There's not enough time. I can't afford it. What about the kids? The kids are always messing with my relaxation plans.
Well, fear not. Here are your 5 steps to a fast and easy "Mama Makeover." This special treatment can be enjoyed right in your own home. And it comes to you just in time for Mother's Day.
Mama Makeover Menu
Body Wrap What better way to give you that slimmed down look while also eliminating one of the most dreaded laundry chores--folding fitted sheets. Simply take 2-3 sheets, and wrap them around your body, securing the elastic corners with a clothespin. Explain to your family that for the full effect, you must leave this on all day. With limited use of your legs, and no use of your hands, family members are left to handle the housework, coordinate dinner, and reward you with spoonfuls of ice cream.
Foot Soak and Pedicure Did your baby knock over the dog's water bowl again? Great! It's time to fill it up with hot water and let your feet get treated to some therapeutic soaking. Upon exiting the bowl, make your way outside to your child's sandbox. Take a leisurely walk in the sand, making sure to dodge any shovels, rocks, or cat poop. A wonderful and inexpensive way to naturally exfoliate!
Eyebrow Lift All you have to do for this treatment is to simply see something surprising. If you have husbands or toddlers in your home, you'll be treated to the VIP package here because surprises are always popping up on a revolving basis with these folks.
Facial Peel/Pore Treatment Position a 2 year old in his high chair. Once he is finished eating, allow him to start feeding you. Using a mixture of home ingredients, let your toddler smear it onto your face. I assure you, he won't miss a spot. You can try heavy cream, cottage cheese, honey, a smashed banana, or oatmeal. This often works very well in conjunction with the eyebrow lift.
Massage Lie down on the floor and allow a 30 lb toddler to use you as a jungle gym.
Last but not least, if you can't get to your day spa this Mother's Day, just...
