The greatest gift you will ever learn

Count me in!! My favorite way to pamper myself is taking a night to myself, ignoring my to-do-list, emails and the internet, and taking a long soak in a bubble bath and catching up on reading that inspires me.
Looking forward to spoiling my swap partner with lots of snail mail love! Thanks so much for organizing this!
This sounds fabulous!! I would love join in on the fun. My favorite way of pampering myself is to take a bubble bath, give myself a mani/pedi and then curl up with a good book, glossy magazine or a classic Audrey Hepburn movie.
This is so exciting!! Can’t wait to find out my what swap partner…xo
Oooh I’ve never done a gift swap; what a lovely theme for my first one
My favorute way to pamper myself is to snuggle up in a clean bed waaay before bed time in pretty PJs, with a huge mug of hot chocolate and a great book.
Excited!
Love this idea! I love to calm myself by deep breathing and quality tea. Comfort to me is a snuggle with my dogs and my husband. Celebration? A bottle of red or anything covered in cheese. Paper goods of all sorts get my creative juices flowing.
Can’t wait to send some good karma out into the world!
I’m iN! DUH!!
This sounds fantastic! I love pampering myself with restorative yoga followed by pink sparkle lush baths all while enjoying a fantabulous book. I am excited!
I’m in
I’m brand new to your blog but would love to do this! Sounds so fun. I love a nice long run or a really relaxing yoga session to pamper myself. Knitting and curling up with a book and nice cup of tea or coffee is also my favorite.
Ohhh this sounds fantastic—count me in! For me, who works and goes to grad school full time right now, pampering involves any sort of me time, particularly of the unscheduled variety. Reality TV, hot showers, yoga, new yummy smelling lotions, naps, etc!
love the heart shaped macarons in this photo!
Sounds like fun! I love pampering myself with some or all of the following: a nice spa service (mani and pedi), tea, yoga (or even better a yoga focused retreat out of town) and a good book!
So excited! This is going to be a blast. My favorite way to pamper myself is getting manicures and pedicures (which unfortunately, I don’t get to do very often but I love). Also, I love making appointments to have my makeup done at the cosmetics counter. Thanks for putting such a fun swap together, love!
My favorite way to pamper myself is a quiet house. I have twin boys to a quiet house is the greatest indulgence!
This sounds fun – I’m totally in. I’m new to this blog, but it just sounds too fun to not do. I usually pamper myself with a personal spa day followed by a great dessert, made by yours truly. I love baking.
What a wonderful idea! I’d love to be a part of this! Who doesn’t like receiving a care package in the mail
Thank you for this offering!
Loving how things work in the blog world. A few clicks from a favorite blog and I’ve found a new favorite. And this sounds like an awesome idea for February. I pamper myself by ditching the outside world and relaxing with a bath, some tea, a good blog or book and a nap with my pet cat when the sunlight hits my bed in the middle of the day.
of courseeee i’d be a part of your first swap!
OF COURSE!
what a great idea
my favorite way to pamper myself: a glass of wine while enjoying a bubblebath, a pedi, eating out and not caring about the calories, giving myself an “off” day from the gym, watching a good chick flick, and sleeping in on the weekend.
i can’t wait, this will be SO MUCH fun! xo
I’m in! I love a good swap and sending snail mail love!
my favorite way to pamper myself is getting a pedicure or taking a bubble bath with a good gossip mag like US Weekly!
I’m in! I’m in! thanks for the confirmation via email that I still qualified.
My favorite way to pamper myself involves buying shoes. But if there are no funds available, I soak in the bathtub reading fashion magazines.
TOTALLY IN!!! i love postal mail & the good karma theme!
I don’t get to pamper myself, but if I did I think yoga, a glass of chocolate milk, and a funny movie would do the trick. :0)
This is a great idea! I’d love to participate!!
I already tweeted that I’m in, but I wanted to comment since I’m very very rarely on my computer at home (commenting from iPhone is just a headache). I pamper myself by getting a pedicure, then making myself a pot of tea and sitting with a stack of fashion magazines. Nothing like some eye candy to refresh the soul
This sounds so much fun. I’m new to blogging, and it just gets better everyday. I love getting mail.
I don’t get to pamper myself often, but I think a bubble bath, some dark chocolate, yoga and a pedicure would be involved.
I am new to blogging too and I would love to participate!
To pamper myself I curl up under a comfy blanket with a good book and a cup of tea.
I went through and erased my blog. Now I am restarting! This will be a fun way to meet new bloggers, as I had only done it before to stay in touch with one person. I look forward to entering this online world!
To pamper myself: bubble baths, champagne, reread favorite parts of pride and prejudice!
oohh! sounds like so much fun
Being a busy mom of 2 little girls (2 and 4) I don’t get a lot of free time to pamper myself, but when I do, I like to curl up on the couch with a cup of my favorite tea and watch some trashy TV while crocheting!
Would love to participate. My favorite ways to pamper are mani-pedis and time in coffee shops reading.
I’m new here (found you through Twitter), but I’d love to participate! Sounds like a fun idea! I could use a little pampering!
This just reminded me how little I pamper my self…I’d say a long hot shower with an wonderfully scented scrub, pj’s, hot tea w/creme, a little bit of milk chocolate and a romantic comedy. How fun xoxox
I’m two days late, I know – but is there any way you can squeeze me in? I’d love to participate! This week was crazy, and I’m only catching up on your blog today. Please, let me know by e-mail if I can still join in! It would make an even 30 participants…
