Moms, You Work Hard. Top 5 ways to Pamper Yourself

As a mom, you are a cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, doctor…the list doesn’t end and its a 24 hour a day 7 day a week job. You do so much for your family, you have to take a little time for yourself.

Here are some of my favorite ways to recharge in Austin:                   

Steal:

Facial at a Beauty School

Avenue Five Institute and The Aveda Institute both offer very affordable and relaxing facials for $24-$50. They use top of the line products like Skinceuticals and Dermalogica.

Splurge:

Facial at Sabia

Estetician, Elizabeth Aubrey, specializes in non-invasive anti-aging skin care. She creates a relaxing environment and enjoys educating clients about skin care helps them create personalized home routines.

Steal:

Chair Massage

Only have a few minutes to spare? Grab a quick chair massage at Whole Foods or BookPeople. Get some of those knots worked out from lugging around those heavy kids all day long.

Splurge:

Massage at Lake Austin Spa

Have a day and desperately need to get away? A day at Lake Austin Spa can feel like a mini vacation. You can come first thing in the morning, schedule a massage, stay for lunch and lounge by the pool all before you pick up the kids from school. You will so refreshed and pampered, it will feel like you were gone for a week!

Steal:

Get Some Great Mascara

Dior Show and Mac Plush Lash can give your lashes a little “pick-me-up” and give you a little glamour.

Splurge:

Eyelash Extensions at Dolce Blue Salon

Nothing will make you feel more glamorous! Had mine done last week and I cannot stop batting my eyelashes. The girls at Dolce Blu will make you feel totally pampered and totally beautiful. They are the only lash salon in Austin to offer a monthly unlimited membership. It includes your initial full set and then as many fills as you like.

Steal:

Great Nails & Spa

Don’t let the outside fool you. Its a little funky, but very clean and a great deal. For $25 the guys at Great Nails will give you a good pedicure and a serious foot and calf massage.

Splurge:

Pedi at Mecca Gym & Spa

You don’t have to be a member to get the Spa treatment at Mecca. There is only one chair so you feel totally relaxed and get some much needed quiet time!
