As a mom, I am always looking for ways to relax and enjoy some me time. Little ways to pamper myself? Always a bonus!
So, when I was asked to review products from Biotegrity, it was a no brainer. They sent me a Mommy Pamper Pack and a Pregnancy Pamper Pack.
In the Mommy Pamper Pack, I received a cute black and white paisley type print bag along with their Replenish Omega-3. The Replenish Omega-3 is the first Omega-3 supplement specifically designed for women.
From their site:
The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids can make a big difference in both the health and beauty of a woman. EFAs are essential fatty acids that the body can not produce on its own.
Also included was their Replenish Nutrients for Women. This is a Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement.
Replenish Essentials for Women:
- Natural support for healthy immune system, heart & hormones
- Bone support, antioxidants, and energy boosters for longevity
- Nutrients that are essential for beautiful skin, hair & nails
I’m not sure about you, but, I know with my busy lifestyle, I need to take more vitamins because I don’t get the nutrients my body is crying out for. There are 90 capsules in each container.
Also in the Mommy Pamper Pack, I received a comfy pair of soft socks, Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion and Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E and Peppermint. These will be great going into the winter months!
In the Pregnancy Pamper Pack, the bag is super cute! Brown with Pink dots. This bag included the Promise DHA Omega-3 Natural Supplement for Before/During/After Pregnancy, stage 1 of their 3 Stage Prenatal Vitamins
Promise DHA Omega-3 Unique Advantages:
- Can help support your baby’s brain and eye development
- Completely pure & safe pharmaceutical-grade oil tested to be free from impurities including mercury
- Provides 100% of the recommended DHA in only one strawberry-flavored soft gel per day
- Addition of DHA is the perfect complement for each Stage of Promise Prenatal Vitamins
- Same quality and standards as RX Prenatal Omega-3′s at a fraction of the cost
Also in the Pamper Pack was a container of Promise Belly Butter. This is to help reduce the risks of stretch marks during pregnancy. To make your feet feel nice and comfy, they also included a cute pair of soft socks.

First does the bag include more time??? I would take a few quite minutes to read a good book or get a facial.
To pamper myself I love to take nice long bath, get into comfy pj, do a pedicure and then read a good book.
I will go sit in a full bathtub in a dimly lit bathroom with the door shut and instructions not to enter!
I like to watch a good movie and knit-that is relaxing to me.
To pamper myself I take a nice long bath with either bubble bath or a few drops of lavender oil in the water. Also I read while in the bath depending on my mood, sometimes a little peace and quite with a good book is all you need to let go of the day to day stresses. : )
I take a 30 minute long hot bath every Sunday morning – at 6:30am! It’s the only time I seem to be able to steal for myself
I like to give myself some good solid crafting time in my comfiest clothes I can find! LOL!

Oh, I love to go to a hotel in town once a year and spend a couple of days gloriously, blissfully alone! I always come back more patient with my family.

Oh, I love to have this, not very often has a mother I get to pamper myself!
Ha! Not a whole lot. With 5 kids pamper time is pretty much non-existant. When they are all at school, and baby is down for a nap, I take a nice shower and then watch my recorded shows for a bit. That is pampering to me!

Well, I no longer need the “Pregnancy Pack” … THANK THE LORD! ‘Nuff said about that.
To pamper myself, I usually heat my rice bag (flannel sack filled w/rice) in the microwave and lay down in my comfy bed with it on my lower back, along with a great read! Aaaahh, it’s my favorite “Quiet Mommy Time” relaxing activity ….
Thanks 4 chance at the “Mommy Pampering Pack”!
My pampering comes in the way of sleep. I make sure to go to bed one night a week by 10pm at the latest. That keeps me going for my 5:30am wake up calls.
To pamper myself I let myself watch an hour of whatever chick show I want to watch when I’m having a bad day..Army Wives, Desperate Housewives, etc. And then I usually end up feeling better heh

Thank you so much for the chance!
I go to the movies. Yeah, I know it doesn’t have anything to do with nails, hair or massages…but for me right now pampering means being able to sit for more then five minutes, by myself, where I can turn off all forms of contact, eating food I don’t have to share – while its HOT. All the while being able to focus on nothing other then the screen of my chosen enjoyment, uninterrupted for 2 hours. Heaven.
A long, hot bubble bath.
To pamper myself in the winter, I put on my warmest pair of pajamas and some nice fuzzy socks, make myself a steaming mug of peppermint coffee with extra cream, and open curtains to watch the snow fall!
Wonderful! Thanks!!!

ksceviour at hotmail dot com
mommy pamper pack would be nice.
as a new mom-sleep is my pamper time
I’m afraid I don’t do much of anything to pamper myself. There is neither the time nor the money for such things. I certainly dream of being able to do things like get a pedicure,go to the salon to get a real hair cut & color, or have some make-up or skin care products to help me protect my skin as I’m aging, but they will have to wait for now.
I don’t pamper myself all I have are this cracky nails,hair that breaks and my forehead full of acne looks horrible.I really need to win this to pamper myself.

I go to the nail shop for a mani/pedi all year round… it’s the ONE thing I do for myself always!
My workplace just started bringing in a masseuse – $10 for 30 minutes, or $20 for 60 minutes. It’s become my way to pamper myself on the cheap, without having to shell out tons of dough for a massage.
I’m hoping to indulge in one every 3-4 months.
My best way is to have whole morning by myself and most of the time in the bathtub with a relaxing essential oil.

Hot Bubble Bath and Good Book to read for a few hours
Last night I let my husband take the kids and I sat on the front porch wrapped in a blanket, enjoying the neighbor’s Christmas lights and the peace and quiet for 15 minutes.
I tend not to pamper myself terribly much
But, I do ask for gift cards for holiday gifts, so that I can enjoy the gift twice – once when opening and twice when actually shopping. THEN, I do splurge a little by setting up a shopping date with my daughter or my cousin or a friend, do a little lunch out and some shopping without having to think about buying anything that anyone ELSE NEEEEEEEDS (insert whine here!) from me 
LOVE the bags with these – so fresh and trendy!
I love lotion that smells good and love soft socks on my feet, then I just sit in my relaxing chair with my daughter….the best!
I pamper myself by splurging on Bath and Body Works products. I dont ask for much but i do take care of my skin and like to smell good!
I used to get massages to pamper myself, but that got a bit pricey. So now I have my husband give me a massage each night.
I’m all about comfort: soft PJs, hot cup of tea and something sweet (chocolate, cookie, you name it!)
I don’t really take time to pamper myself anymore… I really need to though… Maybe if I win this gift basket, I will. Back when I used to pamper myself, it was with a nice hot bubble bath, a big glass of wine, and a really good book.
