Even women need pampering from time to time. Whether we are moms, students, wives, or single our lives are ALWAYS on the go it seems! That’s why this weekend, I wanted to throw a party with some of my closest girlfriends just to celebrate and pamper ourselves! There was chocolate, manicure supplies, and of course Nivea Lotion!
To prepare for the party, I went to Sam’s club to grab some of my favorite things chocolate and an amazingly good lotion. (Not necessarily together). I grabbed some Nivea Lotion
It was so great to spend time with my gal pals. We spent the evening chatting, manicuring, dipping (chocolate), and enjoying each others company. It was so nice to be sans obligations, children, and men!
For us to munch on, I made the most amazing Irish Cream chocolate ganache! It was so amazingly simple to make, and everyone loved it. We had tons of goodies for everyone to dip in the chocolate sauce. The rice treats that my eldest daughter made were a hit. They were all gone by the end of the night. Here’s the recipe if you want to make it at your next party!
Since I have been laid up after having surgery, my best friends decided they would pamper me as well. Mr. Crunchy got some LED Snowflake battery operated lights. My friends hot glued them to my cast, and decorated my cast like a Christmas tree! You think I am joking? Nope, that really happened.
While she was busy decorating my cast, my other friends were enjoying each other’s company and trying out the amazing Nivea Lotion. In Indiana, we really have to take care of our skin. It’s so dry during the winter months so we try to moisturize as much as we can.

I love NIVEA lotion. It really helps in this dry climate I live in.

Yeah,it was a lot of fun. It was my husband’s idea for the lights, but they girls had a blast with the cast.

Then go grab a bottle. I highly recommend the NIVEA lip balm too. It’s great!

I hope that you heal quickly from your surgery! I love fondue too! And Nivea lotions are always pampering, I’ve loved them for a long time!
Crunchy Frugalista says
Thanks Jenn. I am already able to bear some weight on it so hopefully it will heal up soon. Until then, my gal pals will have a blast making my cast festive.
