Making Moments with NIVEA

I'm a busy lady.

I like being busy.

It makes me happy.

However, recently with all of my busyness I've gotten a little overwhelmed.

Does that ever happen to you?

You're doing all these things you like to do,

and then you're in the midst of all that fun stuff and you think, 

"Whoa. How did I get here? Where did the month go? 

Did I pay attention to the things that really matter?"

If so, what do you do to get back on track?

One thing I like to do is let Isabella put lotion on my feet.

It's totally a win-win situation.

 I get some pampering time and actually sit and relax instead of multi-tasking

and trying to answer emails, pick up the living room, and text while

barking orders at the kids.

And Isabella gets to do something she loves doing.

We have a few moments together, just talking, and being silly,

and I let things just wait.

I love having Isabella use NIVEA Essentially Enriched Daily Lotion.

It's so creamy and goes on really nicely and is easy for Isabella to rub in.

I buy it at Sam's Club because it's priced so great!

You get a two pack for the same price as one bottle at other retailers.

It's just fantastic.

I found this hand lettered poster by Kelly Cummings via Pinterest.

And it's so true!!!!

So, I encourage you to slow down, make connections, 

choose the best from amongst the good and the better, breathe.

Grab your favorite four-year-old, a bottle of NIVEA, and enjoy a great

conversation about ponies and Candyland.

Spa Night: Pampering with NIVEA

I try to have friends over at least once a month to unwind, watch TV, chat,
eat yummy food, and just generally take a break from being "mommy".
This month I had the girls over for a spa party!
I got to shop at Sam's Club for NIVEA lotions and fun things to make the evening
relaxing and memorable for some very deserving ladies.




I know that everyone thinks that Southern California has great winter weather,
and it really does, but it still gets dry here during the winter and I'm always looking
for a great lotion to keep the dry winter skin at bay.
Buying NIVEA at Sam's Club is such a great value because you get two large bottles
and a travel lotion for less than $10. I think that is fantastic!
(You can read about my complete shopping experience in my Google+ Story.)

Because I wanted the night to be extra special I made up some fun treats for the

ladies to take home with them, so they can remember to pamper themselves on a regular basis.

I used my Silhouette SD  to make some adorable Fall gift boxes to hold some of their

NIVEA goodies and included some extras that I thought they'd enjoy.

The girls were excited to try the NIVEA and they all remarked about how great it
felt going on and how smooth their hands felt after they had used it.
I got several texts the next day thanking me for having them over and giving them
a little break from daily life and letting them pamper themselves with facials,
food, and manicures complete with NIVEA



Having the spa party was a good reminder to pamper myself on a regular basis,
and that it can be done at home with good friends and a great evening.

You can find out about more NIVEA products on their website,
follow them on Twitter, like them on Facebok, and find more great ideas
for enjoying NIVEA of your own on the #NIVEAmoments Pinterest board.
