Hello LYL’ers!
So, did you enjoy yesterday’s FREE 20min Workout?
Did you follow through on yesterday’s LYL Fall Resolution #2 and commit to an exercise plan this Fall?
Francine Penny, a busy mom to two beautiful children stepped out of her comfort zone and hit the weight room with LYL last Fall. Not only did she make herself healthier and happier, her commitment improved the happiness of the whole family. You can read her story here => Francine’s LYL Journey!
ok, moving on to today’s…..
LYL Fall Resolution #3 – Pamper Yourself!
It’s amazing what a 30min massage or pedicure can do to uplift your mood.
Now if you are like most Moms you may feel guilty about spending this time away from your family during the evenings or weekends, so here’s a back to school tip for you.
Helpful Tip: Book yourself in for a mini pedicure or whatever beauty treatment you can fit in while your kiddies are getting their back-to-school haircuts. Or if you are a working mom, use your lunch break to indulge in a little beauty treatment; even something as simple and buying a new beauty product like a lipstick from your favorite cosmetic counter can completely uplift your mood.
As a busy mom myself, I’ve realized that it doesn’t take much to calm ourselves and recharge. A mindless walk through the beauty isles at Shoppers has saved me from many meltdown moments…lol
Ladies, remember you deserve a little beauty treatment once in a while, so make the commitment to some self-pampering this Fall and watch your stress levels dwindle.

I include “pampering” in our family schedule the same way I include all of the other important appointments. Coordinating the schedule for five people can be difficult so things like hair appointments, massage and manicures will never happen if they aren’t scheduled well in advance.
You are SO right Amy! If you don’t schedule it, it won’t happen. I’ve started to schedule one evening a week for me. Just to get out of the house and do whatever I feel like. Chapters and a latte has become my new favorite thing:) Thanks for sharing xo
As soon as I step my foot in through the door after work I start doing housework and tending to my family. I try marking off tasks from my to-do list until I’ve missed my bedtime and spent the entire evening accomplishing what seems like the smallest of chores. While this is still the case, more often than not, I take an evening once every week and when I get off work I treat myself BEFORE going home to face the madness. Lots of times it’s a green tea and a book at a coffee shop or I love to go see a movie at the theatres that I’VE wanted to see. Another favorite is an after work drink with some girlfriends. This helps getting things off your chest when you need a good chat 🙂
Thanks for sharing Pamela! This is so true for so many of us busy mom’s; we get caught-up in the to do’s that we lose ourselves. I love the idea of YOU time before you switch gears from work hat to mommy hat. This is a transition that I too am working on, making sure you are present when you arrive home….so important. Thanks again for sharing! 🙂
Hi again Pamela!!! You are the lucky winner of the free pedicure from soothe spa. Please email us your mailing address to info@loveyourselflean.com so we can send your gift certificate!!! Enjoy 🙂
Since I started with LYL I have been pampering myself with Epsom salt baths.i close the door and enjoy some peace and solitude with my favorite book. It’s such a relaxing way to end a busy day.
Yay!! So proud of you Kathy for building this YOU Time into your LYL plan. Thanks so much for sharing xo
