Edit: This giveaway has been closed. Check back for more contests!
I was going to wait to post this on Sunday because I already had something to give away for the Carnival, but you can never have too much free stuff, huh?
So here we go! I've got THREE Chex Mix Bar gift baskets. That's right THREE! If you haven't tried the Chex Mix Bars, you seriously need to go out and buy every box you can get your hands on. They are SO good! I know from experience because I just ate one. They have Chex cereal pieces, nuts, pretzels, chocolate, and the entire bar is drenched in caramel. My fingers are sticking to the keyboard just a little.
The best part? They only have 150 calories per bar, and each bar has at least 8 grams of whole grain. If you consider that we should eat 48 grams a day, eating the whole box doesn't seem so bad does it? Oh, don't pretend like you don't have those days. It's only six bars. Come that time of the month, a rough Monday, eating six of these gooey, salty but sweet, yum bars will be a piece of cake! I gotta stop talking about them before I eat another one. Really, they're like healthy candy bars; another one won't hurt. Hold on...
Okay, so look at the gift basket while I finish chewing.
Now I need some milk. Anyway, not only will you get a whole box of the yummy bars, you get some chocolate scented candles, caramel lotion (which smells so good that they had to put a warning not to eat it on the bottle), and a bunch of spa accessories. I know the pictures kind of small, but we are talking full size stuff here, people, and I've got THREE to give away!
To enter the drawing for one of the three baskets, just leave me a comment with the last time you were able to really pamper yourself and what you did. Make sure you leave a way for me to contact you if you win! The drawing will be on Saturday 11/1 at 8pm EST.

I can't think of the last time I was pampered, actually. With five kids, a business and household to run, and college classes there doesn't seem to be much time for pampering. This gift basket looks great (and I have to agree with you that the Chex Mix bars are really good!). Thank you for offering this great giveaway!

I've actually never been pampered. I've never really had the chance to. This year, I just might have to splurge and give myself one free day of relaxation!
orchestratenoise0726[at]yahoo[dot]com
I'm pampering myself right now by just sitting in front of the tv and doing nothing but blogging!
beccasnelson at gmail dot com
Ummm...the last time I pampered myself? I honestly can't even think of a time! But you can bet I would if I won! ;)
So the last time I pampered myself was a couple weeks ago...I took a "mental health day" off work, stayed home, watched movies and played at my sewing machine all day. Not everyone's idea of pampering, but I enjoyed it :)
Great giveaway! THanks!

with 7 children that i homeschool i don't get much time to pamper myself but i do so love my hot showers. itry to always have bath gel on hand to make it even better!
I took a nice long bubble bath last Saturday. I reserve Saturday night for pampering myself.
The last time I was able to pamper myself....or have someone else pamper me was last December when my husband sent me to get a massage.
Last week I had time to paint my nails and color my hair...hubby took the kids outside to play some football...it was a really nice 45 minutes! Thank you for the chance to win!

Every morning I set aside 15 minutes to a half hour just to sit and read my Bible and let myself be quiet :) So I guess this morning would be the last time :) ty so much for the chance to win!
The last time I was pampered was at a woman's retreat last weekend. They had ladies there with their product line and they gave us treatments for our hands, lips, face, feet and neck and showed us some pressure points on our hands.... nice!
Cute Giveaway!
Well, my dear husband very generously gave me a wad of cash and sent me out shopping all by myself a few weeks ago. I was instructed to spend all the money he gave me only on myself. It was so fun. Believe me, that's not something I get to do often.
david_colleen@mei.net
2 months ago I got a pedicure, does that count?? Thanks for the giveaway!
It has been a looong time. I am a single parent and have limited time. But, I will be going to a spa weekend with my sis next weekend. I am so excited!
The last time I was pampered??! That would have to be on our cruise to Alaska--June 2002. Since then, we've adopted 2 kids and renovated the kitchen, bathroom, basement and added a home theater. No time for pampering!
I get my haircut every few months, does that count?
hetz-junk(at)hotmail(dot)com
I don't get many chances but this Saturday I am leaving the kiddos home with daddy and going to the Windy City shopping!!!! Thanks for the chance.
I can honestly say I don't know when the last time I was pampered. Maybe when I was sick with the flu? Ha ha.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

The last time I was able to really pamper myself was about 3 years ago when a friend took me to have my first pedicure ever.

I painted my toenails last week
Well I take a bit of time out of every week to paint my finger/toe nails pink! Thats my idea of pampering myself :) Although this basket would be a huge pampering yum!
Last week I took a long bath.

I have no idea when the last time I pampered myself. With my kids I find myself putting them first for so many things. I would this set!
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
The last time I pampered myself was two nights ago... I was lucky to win some really nice skin products in a blog contest and really enjoyed a nice facial with them!
The last time I pampered myself was 2 years ago when my husband bought me a spa package!
Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com
I've never really been pampered, at least not at like a spa or anything. I personally relax and unwind by soaking in a nice, warm bubble bath. I have candles lit and just sit back and enjoy. Then I give myself a pedicure.
Thanks for the giveaway and have a great Halloween.
For my 40th birthday, I spent the whole day at the spa and I swear I came out of there 10 years younger...
I can't remember....I think I really need this basket of goodies! Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

About a month ago, my husband gave me the day off and let me go shopping, take a bath, and spend some time reading for the day.
The last time I pampered myself was probably a month ago. Did a nice warm bath with a book and a glass of wine to relax while DH took the boys out of the house :)
jaz4579[at]ameritech[dot]net
Last time I was pampered? Probably before having a little one (who is now 4). I remember in some far off time going to get my hair done and having a chance to relax. Thanks for the giveaway!

We had an early snow this year, in mid-October and I hadn't gotten around to having my furnace fixed yet. So I pampered myself with a steaming hot bath to warm up my toes. Thanks for the giveaway.

I think the last time I pampered myself was over 2 years ago when I got a manicure for my Sister in Law's wedding.

The last time I pampered myself was almost a year ago, I received a gift certificate for a facial.
the last time I pampered myself was.....not in at least the last 8 or 9 years..seriously. I am one of those un-lucky ones that doesn't even get pampered when I have a brand new baby...o.k. get out the violins....

I don't get to pamper myself much, but I did get a foot massage over the weekend by a kid who didn't want to go to bed, lol.

I can't remember but I am pretty sure the last time I was pampered was before I had my daughter 14 months ago.
ksieker(at)hotmail(dot)com
Hmmm.... let me see... that would have been 1987....no, wait, I think it was 1990....ummm it's been a while. :)
I honestly can't remember the last time I got pampered. It was definitely pre-babies, so probably in 2003. Yikes, how sad.

I can't remeber the last time I got pampered. After four children and one grandchild you seem to forget about yourself. Thank-you so much for the giveaway.
tamben7996(at)aol(dot)com

Those look yummy!
The last time I pampered myself has to be way before I had children and probably even before the husband.

The last time I pampered myself was last week when my fiance took the kids to grandma's so I could take a bath... I was sick with a bad cold so it felt especially good!
the last time I pampered myself was about 5 months ago when my parents treated me to a massage!! it was wonderful!
A few weeks ago I took a really long bubble bath then got in the bed to read for a few hours! monk5@charter.net
On my birthday earlier this month I painted my nails and toenails, applied full makeup and put on a pretty dress so hubby to go out to eat at a nice restaurant. My mom watched the kids. That is the most pampered I have felt in a long time.
cherierj(at)yahoo(dot)com
The last time I REALLY pampered myself was on my vacation to New Orleans in July. I got a facial and a massage!
A few weeks ago my husband made all the kids stay downstairs. I was able to take a warm bubble bath and read in the tub in peace!
Hmm...It's been awhile...let's see, I guess about 7 months (wow, that long?) ago and I went to the spa for a massage and mani/pedi. So fun! My hubby had given me a gift certificate. Wasn't that sweet?
frog123 (at) cyipcom (dot) net
I can't remember the last time I REALLY pampered myself, it's been awhile. This basket looks like the perfect excuse for some me time. BTW, I love that Twilight countdown you've got on you page. Thanks for the chance to win!
tzaddi_sister(at)yahoo(dot)com
My sister got married last month and I was her matron of honor - I got a manicure and pedicure which was great! I definitely felt pampered! :)
alainamj AT yahoo DOT com
Two nights ago I had the house all to my self (and the cats of course) so I took a long hot bubble bath with a good book!
Honestly the closest I have gotten to be able to pamper myself is to convince my husband to get up with our son on Sat morning so I can wake up slowly in bed.
I hardly ever pamper myself, but last time I'd say moisturized real good
skyskyaa11(at)gmail(dot)com
the last time i pampered myself was on the morning of my wedding day! Awesome Giveaway. Thank you for the chance to win
The last time I pampered myself was actually last week. The kids were at school so I took a bubble bath and read my voter's guide. (Ok, so not totally relaxing, but I did need to read the voter's guide.)
akreese (at) hotmail (dot) com
I can't remember. That is so sad.
Does it count that I spent 4 days in the hospital last week and totally wallowed in the peace and quiet?
Seriously, I don't remember the last time I pampered myself, but my husband was a sweetie last week and massaged my feet - that was even better! Thanks for the giveaway!
My mom treated my sister and I to a pedicure for my sisters graduation in June. I would love to return the favor and give her this for Christmas.
Last time was the Friday before Labor Day. Went with a friend for a manicure and pedicure. Fun time with a great friend. semtaylor(at)yahoo(dot)com
Last time I pampered myself was for my sister's wedding in June, when I got my hair specially done and my nails. It's been a while lol. How fantastic! Thank you for this giveaway; I hope I win :)

The last time was Mother's Day. My husband gave me a "day off" so I went to the outlet malls and hour away, stayed overnight at a hotel and basically did whatever I wanted. It was fabulous. But I'd love this too!
I don't know when my last pampering was... I need to be pampered
I don't know when the last time I was really pampered. I could sadly say that it was a day over 9 years ago when my sisters and my mother gave me a gift card for a spa day. I had a mani/pedi, a facial, and a massage. It was divine.
Before my daughter was born in June.

About a year ago, when I got my hair highlighted, that was fun! Thanks for the giveaway!

I've decided to throw away the box hair color this summer and get my hair done professionally. It's quite a bit more expensive, but I've got so much gray I really need an expert. To me, it really an indulgence.
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway.
This is wonderful! Thanks for the terrific giveaway!

the last time i was pampered was over a year ago on a cruise, their spa was heavenly!
For my birthday I requested that my husband babysit. I spent the day shopping for clothes (necessities... and a few fun pieces), ate a long leisurely lunch out, and just took my good old time without having to worry about a munchkin.

Last time I pampered myself???
Hmmmm... I took a long shower the other night, does that count???
LilithSilvermane(at)gmail(dot)com
It has been a long time. I guess taking a long bath while reading a book and having a lavendar candle lit was the most pampered I have been lately.
I can't remember the last time I pampered myself. How sad is that? I am a mom of 3 kids and a dog with a husband that travels everyweek out of state (at least he has a job, right!) and then I work on the weekends! Blah! Thanks so much for doing this giveaway!
ahiltzy@yahoo(dot)com
Last time I was pampered was when my daughter got married 3 years ago and I got a massage the day before the wedding. Basket looks great!
I honestly don't remember. I had my first daughter at 19, so I guess in high school, LOL
The last time... I can't remember. Sad! I guess I could use this, huh? :)

Oh...the last time??? That's a really good question! See I need this!! :o)
Great giveaway - thanks for offering!

The last time I did anything for me really shouldn't count, I was sick and my mother took the kids for a couple hours, and I just curled up with a blanket and read a book for a couple hours straight, it was so nice to not be interupted.
purehrt555(at)yahoo(dot)com
I can't remember the last time I was pampered I would say my wedding day 11 years ago with 5 kids and my daughter has cystic fibrosis so not much time for myself
It was last weekend and I took a long bath!
Thanks for the chance to win, please throw my name into the hat!
mommyhoodisthankless{AT}gmail.com
Sometimes all I need to pamper myself is a bubble bath but even that doesn't happen often enough!
nevaehsmom[at]sasktel[dot]net
it would have to have been when my aunt paid for me a mani-pedi for my birthday several years ago.
20 years ago when husband and I were just newly married!
This summer I went out with my sisters-in-law to get pedicures.
For my birthday in July, my hubby got me a massage & mani /pedi at the spa. It was heaven!! Afterwards, though we had to paint the rental house and I ruined my brand new manicure. Oh well!
This past May I wnet and had a manicure, pedicure and message before my daughter's Graduation! It was wonderful! Thanks for the chance to enter!
For my birthday I received a gift certificate to go to a spa. I got a pregnancy massage, and a milk bath and it was amazing! Thanks for the great giveaway!

P.S. I’m giving away a subscription to Parents Magazine on my blog, so if you or someone you know might be interested, stop on by! :)
For my birthday I bought myself flowers, a lobster and a chefs salad. Then I shut off the phone and watched Steel Magnolias! Best birthday I have had in years! Thanks!
It's been so long I really don't remember! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I got a pedicure about a year ago. That is about all I can think of for recent pampering! This sounds like a great prize!
abbyandygaige@gmail.com
I don't remember the last time I was pampered. Honestly. Sadly.
My husband went on a quickie date for our anniversary... but my baby was less than a month old. He went with us. We ate at a favorite restaurant without the older kids, at least.
I haven't had a break without the kids since my first was born. Oh, look at me... starting to feel sorry for myself. Really, I could use a bit of pampering, even in basket form!
Hmmmmm...I can't remember. Does taking a shower without one of the kids or hubby coming in to ask me something count? :-)
Thanks for the chance to win..this looks so yummy & relaxing!
A couple of days ago I took a warm bath and read a trashy novel
it was in aug I got to sit around and play video games uninterrupted for a couple of days
Silence is a threat in itself...
Thank you for this great giveaway!
Wow, I was trying to think and can't even remember the last time I pampered myself!
Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize.
The last time I was pampered was a few months back when I went for a massage. I am ready for another one!
