I don't even watch that show but I watch that clip all the time. I get my nails done every 2 weeks, massage once a month, and haircut every 3-4 months. This was all pre-LO though - who knows if I'll have time for a while. anonysquire on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-632698 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 05:43:28 +0000 anonysquire 632698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just monthly in one form or another. Whether it be eyebrows waxed, hair trip, hair styled, shampoo. honeybear on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-632695 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 05:40:29 +0000 honeybear 632695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Penny Lane: I don't like having my feet touched, either! I had a pedicure once and it was excruciating! ;) I wish I had the skills to cut my own hair! Although I do like having my hair shampooed at the salon. I manage to get my hair cut once every 4-5 months. Not ideal, but it's hard to get to the salon right now! Penny Lane on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-632648 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 04:03:48 +0000 Penny Lane 632648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never. A wax is like $80 and a facial/massage is like $70 and I can't convince myself to spend that kind if money. Ever. I cut my own hair, I don't dye my hair, I pluck my eyebrows and do my own other assorted hair trimming (never waxing though, I'm a baby!!!) and can't stand other people touching my hands and feet. Lol! I feel like such a Scrooge just writing that!!

I've never gotten a pedicure/manicure - I do that myself once in a blue moon and the closest I get to a professional massage is dh. I've planned a few times to spend some money on myself - but end up justifying that lo needs something more important. One day I'll treat myself! blackbird on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-631173 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:31:56 +0000 blackbird 631173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Treat Yo'self, LOL. My husband always says that to me.

I was going weekly for like 6 months, and then having touch-ups less often for like 3 years! (ie i'd go maybe once every 3-4 months). But that's more a function of the pure surface area I was trying to cover! If you only went for say underarms, you might only need to go like 4-5 times (30 mins each time or so). I had so many appointments because we did different body parts at each appointment. We did: full face (ie cheeks, chin, upper lip, jawline, eyebrows, sideburns, forehead...), underarms, arms from elbow to wrist, stomach (happy trail!), and feet. It was a LOT of work but now I don't worry about any of those areas! keiki_mama on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630971 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:41:00 +0000 keiki_mama 630971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get my hair done every 2-3 months, pedicure every 3-4 months, manicure maybe twice a year? I don't know how to do my eyebrows and I have crappy tweezers so I get that done every 6 weeks or so. I love getting pampered! =) yoursilverlining on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630929 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:22:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 630929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get facials at least quarterly – I get them whenever there is a change in the seasons/weather/level of humidity, etc. I do different face masks at home weekly, which is sort of a treat (at least to me it is!). I’m going to start getting massages monthly. I need to get all the stress in my life hot-stoned out on a regular basis lol Shutterbug on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630927 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:22:38 +0000 Shutterbug 630927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just gotta add this video, because it's all I can think about while reading this thread :) <a href="http://youtu.be/-K4if6QkDbo" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/-K4if6QkDbo</a> Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630920 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:20:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 630920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @JoJoGirl: ooh eloctrolysis sounds lovely. How many treatments did you have to undertake? Was each area zapped every visit? JoJoGirl on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630892 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:12:11 +0000 JoJoGirl 630892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost never. I get my haircut (not styled or colored) every 3-4 months, almost never get manis/pedis/massages etc. Maybe at the beginning of the summer I'll get a pedi but that's it. Oh and I get bikini waxes maybe twice a year? I'd rather save my money for other things like plane tickets :) I guess in that sense i don't see spa services as treating myself, more a necessary evil! Oh I guess I should add that the 'necessities' in terms of waxing are unnecessary for me because I did electrolysis for 3+ years on EVERYTHING.. eyebrows, underarms, upper lip, face, etc.. yin on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630872 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:07:55 +0000 yin 630872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm ashamed to say that I don't treat myself very often. I only get a hair cut when absolutely necessary (about once to twice a year), and it's a simple cut. I am too stingy to spend money on myself. Ash on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630856 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:03:19 +0000 Ash 630856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mom and I try to get pedicures together every 4-8 weeks. Otherwise, I get my hair cut and colored every 8-12 weeks. I should add a monthly massage into the mix! hellobeeboston on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630813 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:46:42 +0000 hellobeeboston 630813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ probably every-other-monthly.... i will get nails done for special occasions - i get my hair cut/colored every 3-4 months, and maybe once or twice a year I will get a massage. ShootingStar on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630758 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:29:00 +0000 ShootingStar 630758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get my hair colored every 7 weeks, trimmed every other-ish appointment. I have a giant white streak in my bangs, like Rogue from X-men, so I stay on top of the coloring! I usually get massages on vacation (last time at NYE, next time in May), pedicures when I feel like it during warm weather. One thing I'm really bad about and really need to stay on top of better is getting my eyebrows waxed. mrsjyw on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630744 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:25:36 +0000 mrsjyw 630744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try to get a massage or manicure monthly. Sometimes both, when I can find the extra time~ Bookish on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630732 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:22:07 +0000 Bookish 630732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do my hair dye myself, my toes myself except for rare treats, and I don't wax/do facials. My big treat is a pedicure once or twice a year, and a fancy hair cut maybe once a year. In between I get trims at cheap places. I won a gift card to a fancy salon in town though, so I'm planning on getting a great hair cut before the baby shower!

Treat only in the sense of a professional. @Reese: I am the same way about my eyebrows, I prefer to do them myself. Reese on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630666 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:06:37 +0000 Reese 630666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get a massage biweekly or at least monthly. Nails and hair maybe twice a year. I like how I do my nails myself. I normally only go there if I am going to get shellac done for a vacay. Eyebrows I get done monthly. blackbird on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630637 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:00:09 +0000 blackbird 630637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Monthly? I get a wax every 5 weeks (i refuse to do that myself)...I get my hair colored every 7 weeks or so....i get a pedicure/massage every 2-3 months. I don't do manicures because my nails are so stubby and break so easily, I feel like it's not worth it. Some of these things, I don't consider "treats", though, just necessary things so I don't look like a cavewoman Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630623 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:56:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 630623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to be soo much better about keeping my appearance up. But ever since using and trying to stick with a HH budget I stopped goung to the professionals. I have not kept up the beauty stuff at home. Last week I saw a woman with very cute shoes, but her toes were kind of crusty and didn't have polish not even a clear coat. No matter how cute the threads are the body needs a bit of an effort. Today I made an appointment for hair and waxing. Took care of the hands and feet myself.

I'll usually get them once every other month... otherwise my feet look AWFUL! I'll get a haircut maybe twice a year, and don't typically bother with things like facials or waxing (unless I'm going on a beachy trip, haha!) Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "How often do you treat yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-treat-yourself#post-630597 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:51:30 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 630597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sure you *could* do these things yourself at home, but how often do you treat yourself to professional hair styling/ waxing/ nail care/ skin care (facials)? If you don't go to the professionals are you doing these things yourself?
