American Women Dish on What They’d Do For Themselves if they Had An Extra Day in the Year
Sixty-five percent of American women confess to skimping on beauty: these
time crunched ladies spend 30 minutes or less on their beauty rituals each day. However, more than three in five women admit they wish they had an extra day in the year to spend on themselves, and one third declare they would spend more than 30 minutes on beauty or grooming rituals with this extra day.
Just in time for Leap Year, the findings from a recent survey commissioned by AVEENO® POSITIVELY AGELESS™ Lifting & Firming are released. The AVEENO® Extra Day study, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, surveyed more than 1,000 American women about their views on aging, individual beauty, and what exactly they would do if they had an extra day in the year to do what they please. Here are some of the top results:
· AVEENO® found that 65% percent of American women confess to skimping on beauty, spending 30 minutes or less on their beauty rituals each day.
· However, more than 3 in 5 women admitted they wished they had an extra day in the year to spend on themselves, and 1/3 declared they would spend more than 30 minutes on beauty or grooming rituals with this extra day.
· But not surprisingly, moms were the group most likely to wish for an extra day in the year to spend on themselves, with a whopping 73% saying they would love an extra day.
· AVEENO® also found that if given an extra day in the year, nearly ½ of all women admitted they would indulge in extra sleep or pampering rituals in the comfort of their own home. This is good news because as you sleep, your skin cells actually renew themselves so skin is most receptive to renewal, so if you are using a night cream, such as the new Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Night Cream, you are actually doing double duty!

I would blog, write, go for a run, spend time with my husband and little girl…wait, that’s what I do every day! I admit – I’m living a charmed life.
spend the day entirely by myself– reading, watching old movies, sipping hot chocolate– making sure the phone is turned off!
I’d give myself some me time which I hardly get, lol. I’d probably do some reading and play something like Ace Attorney on the Nintendo DS.
I would read a good book!
I would take some much needed me time to go shopping, maybe head to the spa, have lunch with friends.
Sleep a little, shop a little, sit in a cafe and read a little. It doesn’t take much to make me happy.
I would go to the beach, enjoy the waves, catch some rays, flip through catalogs, eat lunch at a cute cafe, do a little shopping at some fun boutiques and come home with an new treasure to remember the day.
Hello, I would take the time to pamper myself physically and mentally. I tend to be the type of mom that takes care of everyone but herself! I am getting to the age where it shows! A walk in the park would start my day. A great haircut, and pedicure would be nice. A quiet healthy meal, for me that would mean a large Greek salad! I would begin a new book that I have been wanting to read. I would end my “special” day with a hot, scented bubble bath in candlelight! Thanks for an amazing giveaway contest! Cindi
I would (hands down) use the carpet cleaner I got for Chirstmas. I am happy to report it is now out of the box. It only ventured this far due to the need for its box. Basically I made the poor thing homeless and it is still not put together. I would banish the kids and husband for a day to ensure drying. I would sit in the middle of my beautiful, clean, cream-colored, burber carpet and would admire the lines streaming from the wet nape of the carpet published like a printer from the steamer. While waiting for the carpet to dry I would do my nails. Yes red nail polish on cream colored carpet. Why? I have a really nice cleaner that will take care of that immediately! I would then summons my husband back to pick me up for a marvelous dream date! We would return to a spotless house and two beautiful boys sleeping on the carpet (because it is that clean) with an amazing sitter carefully watching over!
I’d spend it reading, exercising, and planning my next vacation.
I’d spend it with my kids. I work full time and feel as though I spend more time with my co-workers than my kids. It seems like yesterday they were just babies – now their halfway to adulthood!
I would be thrilled to have a day off that wasn’t filled with things to do — or being sick. I think I would sleep late, go shopping for a few new things, eat dinner out, and take a hot bath before bed.
I would make it an official Off-Duty day! Everyday for me is a schedule. Get up, cook breakfast for the kids and husband, dress kids, clean up, cook dinner, put kids to sleep, put husband to sleep! and so on. Don’t mention the stuff in between! I would put on something nice, other than the usual sweats and sneakers. Get my hair, nails and feet done. Enjoy my day feeling and looking good (and realizing that I still have IT!) And lastly, eat at my favorite restaurant!
I spent it entering more contets, trying to finish up the ones that expired in February! Also writing bills that needed to go out on the 1st.
Go swimming! Have coffee with friends and get some sunshine!!
Read a good book and take a nap for hours!
Read one of the books I just picked up, watch a movie and play with my kids.
Definitely read!
Please lift me up
An extra day on the calander would give me an extra day to relax.
Sleep in, exercise and go down to the beach.
Taking a bubble bath, doing some gardening and cooking a healthy meal for myself
Sleep…. All day….unapologetically…
Thanks for the awesome contest!

Go to an amusement park and pig out on cotton candy, and ride everything ALL DAY!!!
Work in my yard.I love flower gardening and spring is almost here so I need to get busy in my flower gardens.
I would sleep for all hours I missed that week!
I’d take DD to the aquarium
If I had an extra day, I would use it to relax. Life is too hectic now.
Just take a day for myself…walk on the beach, read, nap, do yoga and go to bed early
I’d read a great book & dream of winning this giveaway!
Providing the extra day didn’t involve work of any kind, I would spend it doing something exciting…taking in a photo safari at our local wild animal park; seeing the seals at one of our local beaches, or better yet, going surfing, which is something I haven’t done in years.
With an extra day I would walk around the waterfront here in Gig Harbor and explore all the wonderful little shops and coffee houses (not to mention the bars).
I would sleep late and then I would getup and make a cup of tea. I hope the day is warm, because I would love to sit out on the porch and listen to the birds.
wow, an extra day…
hmmm, cup of java at starbucks, off to the gym, followed by lunch with a friend and then a massage…
thanks for the contest
relax, go the the beach, about 40 minutes from me, have lunch or coffee with a friend and read a good book.
I’d lay on the couch and read a book all day!
I would take a long walk and enjoy the world around me for a little while instead of worrying about the trial and tribulations of everyday life

I would have a me day. Relax, do some walking and just enjoy a day of free time.
I would catch up on reading those books I bought, and watch dvds while eating food I did not have to cook.
I would catch up on much needed rest!
