Growing up, whenever we’d ask our mom what she wanted for Christmas, her birthday, or Mother’s Day (yeah, we probably should have just surprised her with something from our own heart), her response was always, “I just want everyone to get along”, or “peace and quiet”. I always thought that was an odd request… until I became a mother myself and realized how much I would appreciate some of the same!
Santuary Day Spa granted my wishes with a 60 minute facial, foot soak, and complimentary foot and hand massage.
I was ushered to the back of the salon, where the lights were dimmed, soothing music played, and a warm, plush robe and slippers were waiting for me – in a locker reserved with my name! Once “dressed” and ready for my hour of luxury, Stacy greeted me with a smile and a plate of chocolate chip brownie bites. We were instant friends!
Then the pampering began! To be completely honest, I really don’t remember much except for dozing off and on while tangerine-scented hot cloths, muds, masks and exfoliators were applied and cleansed from my face. Then creams and oils were massaged into my wind-chapped hands and feet. Basically, it was an hour-long nap that gave new meaning to “beauty sleep”!
Treat your mom to the same luxury that SHE deserves (or for yourself) by taking advantage of Sanctuary’s special Mother’s Day promotions:

I love Sanctuary. I pamper myself by getting one of their hot stone massages!
[Reply]
I use to pamper myself by getting a massage but these days I consider going to bed before 10:00 pm a great way to pamper myself
[Reply]
Pamper MYSELF? Haha! I WISH! Instead I slave away every Saturday giving OTHERS deep tissue massages!
So…do pregnant women get priority on this giveaway?! They should!
[Reply]
Being 38 weeks pregnant, these days I pamper myself by just putting my feet up and snuggling with my son while we watch home makeover shows.

I pamper myself by sleeping in on Sunday mornings until nearly 10am!

I don’t get to pamper myself very often, but it is a wonderful thought!!:) The yearly pedicure and dreaming of messages are NOT enough!!
[Reply]
I mean massages not messages!:)
[Reply]
Does running a 5K in the snow count as being pampered?
[Reply]
I pamper myself by getting manicures and pedicures. Feels good and lasts for weeks.
[Reply]
A hot soak in the jetted tub…..a good book….and, this time of year, a Cadbury Cream Egg! But I’m thinking a trip to this spa looks 100 times better!
[Reply]
Sanctuary is the BOMB! Some of my favorite gifts from Scott have been gift cards from Sanctuary. I’ve tried other spa’s and nothing has compared to Sanctuary. My favorite way to pamper myself is a nice spa day!
[Reply]
Just the thought of a SPA Day relaxes me:) It is getting that time of year again that the flip flops are out in and you have to have stylish feet to go with your flip flops and srappy sandles.

I pamper myself by entering spa giveaways and praying that I win.

I pamper myself by grabbing my fly rod, loading up with flies, and heading to the local river. Wait.. am I on the wrong website? I win a fly rod for this post, right? Okayyyy, the pedicure will be fine. No paint please;)

Idaho rules, y’all.
[Reply]
oh man do I need a pedicure.
No, wait, I want 208 to win so that he can gift it to you or the two of you can go together.
[Reply]
Pick me!! I love to run alone, with music, in the dark. Sounds like work, but really it’s relaxing, and pampering (when I say run, I really mean very very slow jog)
[Reply]
I like to pamper myself by letting others pamper me. Honestly, my go-to is a nice long pedi…so this is right up my alley!
[Reply]
I get my toe nails painted from time to time. It’s nice to have someone else do it now and then! What a fun giveaway!
[Reply]
I’ve never had a spa pedicure, but I would be happy to give it a try.
I pamper myself once in a while with a long soak in an overly hot bathtub. A good book is always a welcome addition to said bath.
[Reply]
So clearly I don’t pamper myself enough my idea of pampering a good long run on Saturday while my husband runs the house. Pathetic I know! So you should pick me just because I am pathetic hehe!!

Shared on facebook!

I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3 boys, full-time student and what ever else is asked of me. Pampering means that my husband decided to let me have 30 minutes of “quiet” time to work on my school work when he’s home. I’m in my final term of my degree and could really use a good pedicure.
[Reply]
To relax I like to bake something really yummy and then sit, eat it, and watch a good movie, with the hubby after the little one has gone to sleep!!
[Reply]
My fave way to pamper myself is with a massage or a mani/pedi. I also love sitting in the steam room after working out. Both are awesome!
Crossing my fingers I win!
Thanks, Camille!
[Reply]
Wow. This place looks great. Maybe I’ll have to take my mom over there so we can enjoy some girl time!
[Reply]
Oh my goodness! I would drive to Utah for one of those things!
I would tweet it, but what the heck is a tweet?
[Reply]
See?
It just goes to show you I’m so old I don’t know what a tweet is.
I deserve to win cuz I’m ancient.
[Reply]
I love to get massages! But pedicures are a very close second.
[Reply]
After having baby number two and a husband that works 60+ hours a week (plus rugby) I find going for walks a great way to pamper myself. I also enjoy sitting in the sunshine sipping my diet coke!
[Reply]
Tweet tweet “This giveaway sounds heavenly http://ow.ly/4LKQJ“

I pamper myself with long hot baths and a good book (the Stephanie Plum Series rocks) and an ice cold Coca Cola!

Pampering myself right now is a night with girlfriends or an early bedtime.
[Reply]
I was just telling Ryan how badly I want a pedicure. I’ve never actually had one but they look like they feel so good!
How do I pamper myself? Hmmm…a good book in bed!
[Reply]
I pamper myself with a nice eyebrow tweezing and a long visit to my sister’s house to play with my nieces and nephews. But, if funds could allow otherwise, I’d buy myself a new outfit, get a back massage, and wax my arms after I get my toes all painted up pretty!
[Reply]
I pamper myself by buying the best quality chocolate I can and slowly eating piece after piece while watching my favorite tv show by myself.
[Reply]
A Saturday afternoon nap!
[Reply]
Oooo! This sounds so nice! I have always wanted a pedicure (and the relaxing time would be nice)! I pamper myself by staying up way too late and reading a good book, then hopefully getting a nap (while the kids nap) the next day.
[Reply]
I pamper myself with a costco sized bag of peanut m&m’s and watching dancing with the stars.
