Today is Leap Day, that extra day that comes only once every four years. What if you could take the entire day to do what ever you wanted? What if today was treated like an extra day where everyone could just kick back and enjoy? What would you do with an extra day all to yourself?
To celebrate leap year this year Aveeno commissioned a survey asking just this. The results were not that surprising for us moms. One half of the women they surveyed said they would take that extra day to get more sleep or pamper themselves. Moms were the ones most asking for this extra day of rest with 73% dreaming of a extra day of rest in the year. What else did Aveeno find in their survey? That 65% of American women are skimping out on caring for their skin, spending only 30 minutes or less each day doing so. And I’ll admit it, I’m one of those. I do a quick wash, maybe a little lotion if I’m feeling the need, and then I’m off chasing the boys and just too busy to worry about the rest.
What if you could pamper yourself every day while you sleep? Sure, it’s not an extra day to relax but it could be a start right? Introducing Aveeno’s new Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming products. Use their Lifting and Firming Night Cream to pamper your skin while you are still getting sleep. Anything that I can do while I am sleeping scores big points in my book. You just rub it in, go to bed, and let the cream do all the work. Perfect for exhausted moms like me.
Of course the collection includes more than just the night cream. There is also a Lifting and Firming Eye Cream, to help carry those dark bags under every moms’ eyes from lack of sleep and stress, and a Lifting and Firming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 to use during the day to keep your skin soft and protected from the sun. All three of these products are made with the natural benefits of wheat and shiitake mushrooms. They are hypoallergenic and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Now, if you’ve made it this far I have a special treat for you. I’m not just talking up Aveeno’s Lifting and Firming product line because I’ve got skincare issues. Right now, I want to hear about your issues. What would you do with an extra day all to yourself? Would you spend the day pampering yourself or get some much needed rest? Leave me a comment and let me know how you would spend your extra day in the year. One lucky person will be chosen at random to win the complete Aveeno Lifting and Firming product line. One jar of the night cream, one jar of the eye cream, and one bottle of the daily moisturizer.
Here are the rules:
- Only comment per person will count
- Write about this contest on your blog for an additional entry.
- Contest open until March 4th, winner will be selected and announced on March 5th.
- Winner chosen at random.
- Prize will be mailed by an Aveeno affiliate, I have no control over how or when.

My first thought is that I would go have a Pedicure…love pedicures!
and then I thought…I wonder what the girls would like to do? Is that typical Mom or what? the point of the day away is to get away from the kids and here I am thinking about taking them with me!!
But as a afterthought, I would read, maybe visit my “local yarn store”, visit the art supply store and do something creative (all alone without the girls! that would be heaven!)

Hi, I would take a walk in the park, feed the ducks and geese and go to my favorite restaurant with my family! Time is precious and so is one’s facial skin.

I would love to try these products.

Can I enter for my wife? Her birthday is in a couple weeks and she would love this. She had an extra day all for herself she would probably hide from me and the kids.

I would spend all day with my daughter. I know, I know, we’re supposed to take a day for ourselves, but she’s still little enough (11 months) that I stil crave spending more time with her. I work full time so I miss her dearly..

I would take some much needed me time to go shopping, maybe head to the spa, have lunch with friends.
March 1st, 2008 at 8:58 am
I would try to manage both, a spa day and a good book by the fire place, with my head well placed in Papas arm!
March 1st, 2008 at 9:56 am
That’s a tough one! I have so many things to get done around the house. BUT, I would at least splurge a bit. A hot stone massage and a bubble bath with a glass of wine and a good book.
March 1st, 2008 at 10:04 am
Oh, to have a day off… I’d probably do something like clean the house, there’s never enough time for that anymore with a 10 month old!!

Wow, I would first sleep in, then eat a good breakfast/lunch, then go shopping for some new clothes. Then I would get a new haircut! Bliss!
March 1st, 2008 at 10:57 am
Catching up on all the little things I have been putting off.
March 1st, 2008 at 11:29 am
I would definitely spend the day with my husband and get a sitter for the baby since the hubby and I hardly ever get to spend quality time together anymore. We need to set more ‘dates’ … putting that on my ‘to do’ list right now.
Oh and I’ve been wanting to try these products. I’ve seen their ads on TV.

I hate to say it, but I would clean. I’m on a big organizing spree and find that the more organized I become, the more time I have with my family. So a day off to organize some more closets would mean more time for my family and me later on.

I would go to a high end boutique and try on everything in the store…then buy the cheapest thing I can find on a clearance rack! Bad, but so much fun…some of them even give you wine!
March 1st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Ahhh…I might have to spend it cleaning if I had a sitter, this place can get pretty dirty!! Thanks!!
March 1st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I definitely need to catch up on some rest as I’ve been feeling particularly sleep-deprived lately, but I also would catch up on the kids’ baby books, since I’m about a year behind…
March 1st, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Hm. Tough decision. I don’t know whether I’d treat myself to a spa day or have a day at home alone so I could tackle organization projects that have been driving me nuts not being done. Both would relieve stress. Thanks for the contest! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )

Part of me would just want to lay in bed, eating junk, reading a good book all day, but the other part would want to take advantage of having no one around to mess it up, and clean the house really good! I’m torn! lol.

I would have to say I’d do alot of things.
First, I would sleep in until 9:00am. Then, breakfast with some girlfriends until around 11:00am. Then, go home, make sandwiches with my kids and have a picnic. After that, I’d take a long bath, then a long shower. I would get dressed up, and go out to a club, or a piano bar. Drink, have fun and then return home. Wash my face, brush my teeth and sleep in a bed with clean sheets. I know.. it’s more like a dream than an extra day!
I use Oil of Olay every night. I’d love to see if this has a difference that I can see.
Wonderful giveaway!

My extra day would have a lot of extra sleeping in it, and probably a bubble bath. Not to mention, ice cream!

I know just what I would do with one free day to do just as I please. I would go on a movie marathon - triple feature!

What mother wouldn’t want a day to themselves. I would probably sit in my bathtub for a few hours with a good book. Then off to the spa for a massage.

If I had a day all to myself, I’d probably spend it on the house (wintertime), probably finally getting around to caulking and painting the basement bathroom or (summertime) working outdoors ont he garden or flower beds.
In fact, when I take my vacation days from work, this is pretty much what I WILL be doing.
It’s not that I like the work so much as that I love the sense of accomplishment and enjoying the finished results.

With my extra day I have it booked as my mental health/spa day. And mommy would get out of the house, relax, and get rejuvenated.
March 3rd, 2008 at 5:47 am
I would read, go running and sit outside listening to the birds. RELAX!!! It would be great. poofaloofa@gmail.com
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
I would get a facial, massage and pedicure. Then have a relaxing lunch and read, read, read.
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:28 am
I’m always 8 hours behind in everything, sleep, work and play, so I’d divy it up 8 hours to each!
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 am
An extra day all to myself???
I’d sleep in until at least 8, go to breakfast at The Waffle House, read a good book while getting a pedicure, get a full massage and a facial, lunch at The Cracker Barrel, go to the movies by myself, dinner with good girlfriends (tapas food, wine) then to bed early.

Read all day and perhaps write some letters. Haven’t done that in a while.
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:22 pm
If I had an extra day, I would definitely sleep in, take a nice long bubble bath, read a book, and have someone *else* cook all my favorite foods!
March 4th, 2008 at 5:09 am
First I’d have a really big lie in. Then get up, make a yummy breakfast, potter about (obviously it would be sunny too!) Then I’d get the sewing machine out and make myself something groovy to wear. Lunch with my girlfriends (and a big peice of cake)Then a hot bubble bath, maybe the movies and early night with my beloved. Maybe a bit much to fit into just one day but I’d give it a good go!

One day to myself? I’d read ALL day long in the bath. All day until I was shriveled.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Sounds great. Thanks!
March 4th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
If I had a day all to myself, I would use it to do some cleaning that never gets done. The kind that involves sorting out junk from old boxes!
March 4th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Turn off the phone– read, watch old black and white movies, sip tea and eat blueberry scones.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Sleeping! lol.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Eat ice-cream for breakfast, chocolate for lunch, call all my friends in Chicago, and then take a long nap.
