Treat Yourself to Holiday Pampering with Sam’s Club
One thing about the holiday season – it’s fast and furious! That’s why it’s a great time to stop (what you’re doing), drop (everything), and roll (to your fav store) to treat yourself to holiday pampering with Sam’s Club! It’s a time of year that we focus on being thankful and giving, but it’s not a bad thought that in being thankful for your temple (your body), you should give to yourself. SELF CARE ISN’T SELFISH!
As the old saying goes, “if Mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” And who wants to be stuck inside the house, staring at the four walls and each other, in a room with tension as thick as my unconditioned roots? Ain’t nobody got time for that! I’m about to give you a few easy ways to pick up the season’s hottest self-care items from everybody’s favorite wholesale retailer with the top brands!
And don’t even worry about thanking me later. Just hit up “the Club” and let your relaxation do the talking for you!
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
I know we probably don’t naturally consider Sam’s Club to be a self-care hub, but I’m a firm believer in multi-tasking and finding the fun in everything. I’m usually in our Sam’s Club weekly, because 1) Sam’s Club, duh! And 2) I mean, they have the most AMAZING finds AND free samples!
I can recall the excitement as a kid when my aunt and cousins came into town for our weekend shopping trips. Sam’s Club was easily our favorite spot because of the free snacks and that killer fro-yo back in the day! And now, I’m still in love with the samples, of course, but the selection of items, and especially the giant-sized packs of everything, has my heart!

Types of Self Care
There are many different types of self-care, and it’s important to focus on all the aspects of your life. According to cityyear.org, highlighted the different types as:
- Physical
- Emotional
- Social
- Spiritual
- Personal
- Space
- Financial
- Work
Now more than ever, many of us are working from home, schooling from home, and coping with the new challenges of juggling all the things while we are all under one roof. You will be surprised by how refreshed you feel when you take, simply a moment, for yourself to treat yourself to holiday pampering and do something that makes you feel like a human again. I’ve found that, in our household, it’s a great practice when my hubby and I take turns giving each other “me time.” Either he or I will take the kids on and let the other go and do whatever it is that brings our hearts contentment.
And if you’re a single parent, sometimes you have to stick in time for these moments. Consider waking up early or going to bed late once/week to make time for self-care. If you have the resources of a nanny, babysitter, or family member who can watch the kids for a bit, don’t be afraid to ask for help to reclaim your YOU!
It’s Better to Give AND Receive
While its great to treat yourself to pampering, self-caring is much more fun with a friend! Since the holiday season is all about giving, why not hook up a friend, partner, client, or family member with a gift of self-care? It’s so simple to show someone you appreciate them by whipping up a quick basket. All you need is a few bath and body products, notably the Dove Exfoliating Body Polish 2 Pack (Crushed Almond & Mango Butter), Nexxus Color Assure Shampoo and Conditioner 2 Pack, Nexxus Humectress Masque, and SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Body Wash.
Throw in a succulent or two to add greenery and life to the bunch. Other great items to fill a basket are candy or snacks, cosmetics like lipsticks or lip glosses, body splash or perfume, and a cute note pad or pens. Then fluff some “shangri-la” (as I call it) around the basket, and you’re good to go!
This basket is for my business partner who recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. All of my moms know what a struggle it is to do for yourself during those first few months of postpartum, so I concocted this basket as a gentle reminder to break away and take time for herself while still being an amazing new mommy!
Also, the best part is, right now in-store or online at Sam’s Club, there is a stellar offer going on. When you buy any 2 Dove, Nexxus®, or SheaMoisture® items, save $5! Who could pass that up? So now, we will both step out smelling sweet, with shiny, bouncy curls and illuminated skin!
Hair Care = Self Care
When’s the last time you treated yourself to a little TLC? And no, I’m not talking about bun life every single day or wearing braids as a protective style! We’re talking infusing each strand with the necessary goodness it needs to thrive! We’re talking about the Nexxus Humectress Hair Masque from Sam’s Club! Rich in glycerine, it deeply rehydrates by binding moisture within your hair.
According to Nexxus, the intense hydration of this conditioning hair mask rescues heat- and chemically-damaged hair strands using advanced conditioning technology. This is deposited in the weakest places on the hair fiber, strengthening and improving natural hair movement. Hair is left healthy and weightless inside and out.
I’ll tell you what… I don’t know a woman who doesn’t like to swing her hair when it’s freshly “done!” There is no greater feeling as a woman than feeling beautiful, and healthy hair is the best part of beauty for our crowns.
Pro Tip: True self-care is about the experience. So when you’re taking care of your body, skin, hair, etc, it’s a great idea to also multi-task, but in a self-care way.
Here’s how you “Self Care” with the Nexxus Humectress hydrating treatment:
-
- Directions on using Hair Masque: Dry hair will respond to the intensive moisture of this Nexxus Humectress hydrating treatment. To achieve natural movement and brilliant shine, use this hair mask as part of your regular hair cleansing routine with other products from the Ultimate Moisture Collection. STEP 1: Wash your hair with Nexxus Therappe Shampoo. STEP 2: Smooth Nexxus Humectress Hair Masque into wet hair from mid-lengths to the ends, comb through, and leave for 3-5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. For a less intense treatment, you can use Nexxus Humectress Conditioner instead of the Masque.
