If I had my way, I’d have at least one day every two weeks set aside to spend at a local day spa. In a perfect world! Unfortunately our household budget simply doesn’t allow for it, so I often make my own pamper products. Now that my daughter is FINALLY showing some glimmer of interest in ‘girlie’ stuff, making pamper products with her is not only an enjoyable activity in itself, but it’s also fun to have some mum and daughter time together having our own spa days to spoil ourselves with our own homemade treats.
