The Pampered Princess

Give yourself permission to think about just YOU sometimes.  With all of the baby excitement and inquiries about when you are due, you may sometimes miss the times when you got to think about yourself.  Sometimes — not all the time — but sometimes, go ahead and get yourself a big bowl of chocolate ice cream.  Don’t do anything unhealthy, like put back a six pack and a few doobies, but do allow yourself a treat now and then.  After the baby is born, you may feel like you disappeared to everyone including yourself.  Make sure you give yourself some attention before your bundle of joy arrives! 

Here are some common things that every pampered princess should know when she is pregnant.

• Rest
• Remember to exercise (gentlly)
• Make healthy meal choices
• Replenish yourself with plenty of water
• Revitalize your body with prenatal vitamins
• Read and Research - Information is your best friend

What you don’t know…

If the pampered princess needs a weekend away from normal life, why not visit the Big Apple for a delightful city escape? 

It is a treat just walking the streets and taking in the sights.  Here just some of the treats awaiting you there:  

• Statue of Liberty
• Ground Zero
• Empire State Building
• Stock Market Exchange
• Hot Dog Stands
• Delightful Coffee Shops
• Ford Theatre
• Macy’s Department Store
• Time Square
• Paramount Building
• Toys-R-Us

New York City isn’t that far from Atlantic City for your inner gambler.


New York is a representation of the “melting pot” that America is known as. It’s a good opportunity to try something a bit different from another culture. I recently watched an episode of “Throw Down” with Bobby Flay, which in which he challenged the owners of Caracas Arepa Bar to a throw down. The results looked delicions. I definitely plan to give them a try the next time I visit NYC!

What’s an Arepa?

Gift It!

You’ll proabably want to save this type of gift for someone special.  You’re looking at $500-$1000 for this get-away, unless you happen to stumble across a last-minute special.  Of course, the more you want to do and the fancier the hotel, the more it will cost you.  At any rate if you can spare the splurge, this one is fun!
