Day 11 Throw a towel in the dryer for about 10 minutes to warm
it up while you deep condition your hair. Apply heated
coconut oil, olive oil, or canola oil, on your hair. Coat
entire hair with your choice of oil and wrap your hair
around your head and cover with a plastic bag. Take
that towel out of the dryer and wrap it around your head.
The warmth helps condition the hair. Leave on for 20-30
minutes. If you have oily hair, only condition the ends
of your hair!
Lay down and apply cucumber slices, potato slices or
tea bags on your eyes. Set your timer and relax!
After 20-30 minutes, remove eye treatment and
shampoo hair. Your hair will be silky soft!
Day 12 Today get a good nights rest! Eight hours if you can!!!
Also, make sure you have your gift and card ready.
Check on the babysitter, do your last minute grocery
shopping, rent those movies for movie night, or get that
wine you'll need.
Day 13 Exfoliate the skin! You will need 1/4-1/2 cup of white
sugar and your favorite body wash (place the sugar in
your shower where it won't get wet while showering).
Sprinkle some sugar on to your hand and start to
scrub your elbows, knees, legs, arms, shoulders, neck
and face, while in the shower. Apply more sugar as
needed. You can apply some body wash on to your
hands with the sugar. Rinse off! I don't like using
the body wash on my face, just sugar and water. Your
skin will feel smooth and soft!!! Lotion up!
Remember to drink your water, and get a good nights
rest!!
Day 14 Its time to shine and show off your beauty! Have fun!
I would love to hear back from you, so please share!!
This series is just a touch of what pampering is about! I know all of us want that outer beauty, but that outer beauty starts with your inner beauty! All of you are beautiful and it's important to believe that. I know my Maker, Creator of heaven and earth, has created you and me, to be beautiful!
He makes everything beautiful in its time.
