Looking for love? Win a Spa day from eHarmony
Written by Jill // November 28, 2012 // Contests // 88 Comments
Just because you’re a parent doesn’t always mean that you have a partner. In fact, 26% of Canadian families with children are headed by a single parent. (And of the 1.4 million single-parent families, about 20 per cent are headed by men.) *2006 Census. So if you’re an Urban Mommy without an Urban Spouse, you’re certainly not alone.
If you’re in a dating rut, take a deep breath and think about yourself for a few minutes. (We know it’s hard). Unlike other online dating sites, eHarmony’s www.eharmony.ca unique questionnaire-based system matches singles on key areas of compatibility – such as sense of humour and interest in music. You can always get started with free dating by filling out a relationship questionnaire, but in the mean time, we’re giving away a $200 spa voucher from WaySpa to give you a bit of ‘me time’. You can think about your own needs for a change. We’re also giving away a free three month membership to eHarmony… the spa would be a perfect pre-date venue.
To enter:
1) Leave a short comment answering this question: “From a simple bath + scented candle to a leg wax, haircut and new dress, people indulge and prepare themselves in different ways. Leave a short comment telling us how you would indulge yourself before a date (in an ideal world!).
Bonus entries:
2) Tweet the following phrase “I’d love to #win a Spa Day via @urbanmommies and @eHarmonyCanada http://bit.ly/QqprIi”

I would love to go to my favourite hairdresser to get “spruced up” with a refreshed “DO” (meaning, wash, cut, dry, and colour or highlights) and I’d love to get a manicure and a relaxing Aromatherapy Massage! or a wonderful Shiatsu or Reiki Treatment that would undo all the knots of stress imbedded in my muscles (especially my shoulders.) That would be EXCELLENT PRE-DATE VISIT TO SPA!
The night before a date I will use a detoxifying face mask and teeth whitening strips, and sometimes an It Works Body Wrap.
The day of I will shower or bathe using exotic products, put on my favourite perfume, shave, etc. I will take extra time to get ready and ensure I look my best, without overdoing it of course.
Ideally, a fresh cut a few days before, but always depends on timing.

In an indeal world I would have a deep tissue massage and a good workout or run. :D

I would take a bath first and put on light makeup. The next step would be finding a perfect dress which is the most difficult part.
I would take a relaxing soak in the tub. Then find the perfect outfit for the evening
I would hop in the jacuzzi for an hour or so to relax and refresh!!! Me time :)

I would get my make-up done and then I would get my hair styled at a blow drying place!
In an ideal world I would get a haricut and maybe some color, nothing feels and looks better than a fresh hair cut

A bath and my favourite perfume.
I like to take a nice long shower and spend some time on my hair and makeup – things that I don’t do on a regular day!

Hot tub
A bath, a glass of wine and some music! :)
I’ll take an hour or two nap/rest few hour before the date. A home mask then some exfoliating (face & hand) good moisturize. Then pick something comfortable yet nice to wear.

I would love a new outfit, someone to style my hair and do my makeup. In actuality I could probably only afford the new outfit!!!
I trip to the hairdresser for a trim and blow dry and then a manicure would have me feeling my best for a date

I think it’s important to show your true self and getting a new haircut might be a disaster! To prepare, I’d maybe buy a new outfit, get a facial, have a relaxing massage and hope for the best! Dating is a tough game! Especially for single parents. Great contest!
A long bath
I would get prepped with a pedicure and a blow out – it’s so nice to have someone else take care of you!
I like to have a bubble bath, then get all dolled up.
In an ideal world. Prepping myself for a date would be a few person affair! Have a hair stylist, make up artist and massage therapist come to house and prep me up! Then finding the right outfit!..,,but this is just dreaming, I know celebs and others have access to these, but for us simple folks, I will skip the massage, do my own hair and makeup, and take me a week to find the right outfit out of my closet and off on my date…hopefully it was worth it….ha ha ha
I would start with plucking my face, do my toe nails and nails, exfoliate my face, shower, do my hair and makeup and get dressed :)
Buy a new outfit.

Buy a new outfit.

Fresh haircut and shave!
wonder christmas gift for makeover
a relaxing bubble bath
A shave and haircut!
bubble bath and good music while getting ready
I take a long walk to relax and then take my time getting ready.
Get a blowout – when my hair works, everything does.
I would invite my date over to have a romantic bubble bath with candles and wine.
I’d just have a glass of wine and put on a silk robe as I got ready for the date – thinking about who I am and why I’m special.
