Comment by Jennifer Smith-Petersen on November 30, 2010 at 10:28am: Sounds fabulous! No time yesterday but I'm doubling up on my pledges. Today I'll pamper my nails while sipping chamomile tea. Lovely...

Comment by Anne-Margaret Olsson on November 30, 2010 at 5:30am: Here I am with the day late post; needless to say, I didn't have any time yesterday to pamper my nails. I did however buy some of that extra thick hand cream from Restoration Hardware - it is wonderful. My nails have never really been pampered - I am working hard to keep my hands moisturized.

Comment by Kim Andrews on November 29, 2010 at 8:27pm: As I type this, I have a bandaid covering my left thumb, as the nail is splitting on the side in the middle of the nail. My toenails...let's not even go there with them! And due to the dry winter weather, my skin gets drier than ever, and all sorts of paper cuts and other yuckies magically appear. I need to take the time to give my nails and my skin some TLC. Let the pampering begin!

Comment by Marie-Anne Steele on November 29, 2010 at 4:32pm: I am ready for this right now......as it is my personal time :D
I love DIY RECIPES.....Enjoy the pampering everyone :D

Comment by Sarah Bauer on November 29, 2010 at 1:28pm: I need to do this! My hands and nails look awful ! Being a mom means I wash my hand ALL THE TIME , so they get really dry and my nails start to split. I am with Sandra....I might even paint mine too!

Comment by Sandra Diane Simbeck on November 29, 2010 at 1:20pm: I never give much thought to my hands and nails, but I probably should. They are always getting banged up somehow. At any given time, I have a bandaid on at least one finger. LOL! I'm going to pamper my hands tonight with some thick cream, and maybe wear some gloves to allow it to really soak in. Maybe, just maybe, I will paint them :-)

Comment by Wendy Monro on November 29, 2010 at 12:44pm: I try to do this once a week: bubble bath (I put Pandora.com onto "heart meditations" radio, light a candle and relax in the bubbles), deep hair conditioning, and mani/pedi. It's so nice.

Comment by Victoria Klein on November 29, 2010 at 11:37am: I don't pamper my nails nearly as much as I used to. Far too many hang nails these days :( More moisture is a must!

Comment by Elizabeth Abilez on November 29, 2010 at 10:26am: The weather outside is (fill in the blank for your neck of the woods). Wash, moisturize,and cover. IN the morning your hands and nails will love you!
