Pamper Me Friday Night

As of 6:38 tonight, I officially completed Week 6 of the Couch-to-5K program. That means I'm 2/3 of the way done and have only three weeks to go!!!

This is big. HUGE. I've NEVER been a part of a formal exercise program, or ANY exercise program, and I often have trouble with follow through on ideas I cook up.

So, the fact that I've gotten this far and WILL finish is truly an accomplishment for me.

OK, enough of that.

I figured that this milestone was reason enough for pampering and treats!

I broke this out (which I've had for a few years, but had only used once prior to tonight) --

I added some Tangerine milk bath to this bad boy and filled 'er up with hot water. (Similar to the first time I used it, I wasn't sure how much milk bath to add and all I could envision was a TV sitcom where the washing machine exudes millions of soap bubbles...) Alas, there was no overflow this time, luckily.

I soaked and massaged my feet and even used the loofah pads to slough the dead skin off of my heels. (TMI? Sorry.)

After the soak, I broke out THIS bad boy that I bought earlier in the night --

Essie's Turquoise & Caicos. Isn't it pretty? I love it. Makes me think of the beach. A tropical beach. (Oh, I guess that's the point based on the name...)

Here's the first coat ---

While waiting for my first coat to dry, I broke out the NEXT bad boy --

I was a bit skeptical if these would be "treats," as they're real-sugar-free (flavored with Splenda), but I must say that I couldn't tell the difference between these and the "real" things.

Yum!

All's well that end's well!
