As a mom to two little ones, finding extra time in my day to pamper myself isn’t such an easy task. Between preparing meals, wiping tushies and preventing meltdowns, taking time to relax just isn’t always possible. In fact, it rarely happens.
But making simple changes in my routine for that coveted “me time” is so crucial to find the energy to get through the day.
Here are a few easy ways moms can indulge a little more each day, while chasing the kids:
1. Sleep more.
Whether it’s making a conscious decision to turn off the lights and go to bed an hour early each night or to simply grab a few extra zzz’s on the rare-occasion that your kids are napping, taking advantage of a few minutes here and there to rest can do wonders for your mood and energy-levels. Sometimes us mamas forget how important sleep is for overall health; Sleeping more is a great way I like to pamper myself from time-to-time.
2. Take longer showers.
When you’re a busy mom, the things you once took for granted can now seem like a gift from up above, even if it’s as simple as having the luxury to take a long, hot rejuvenating shower. I love how I feel after 5 or 10 extra minutes exfoliating and getting clean without little hands tugging at my every move.
3. Sit down.
Do you ever just stop running around and sit down to relax throughout the day? It may seem like a basic and obvious thing to do but most of us forget to do this when we are busy worrying about others. The more I sit down to watch tv with my kids or to take a few breaths and relax, the better I feel. Yeah that may mean letting the dishes pile up and not checking everything off your to-do list, but it’s a good way to take a moment to unwind and put your feet up.
4. Use Angel Soft® Lavender Toilet Paper
It’s funny how any time spent in the bathroom is definitely something that feels a little more indulgent these days. For starters, it’s alone time (for the most part) which gives you a moment to escape the chaos on the other side of the door. It’s also a time I like to spend pampering myself by the longer showers I mentioned, fragrant lotions and soft, quality toilet paper (yes, that too!)!
Angel Soft® Lavender paper is extra soft as usual, but lets moms pamper themselves a little more with the added touch of lavender scent in every roll. How you might ask? Lavender is said to contain many healing benefits, including relieving stress and helping you relax. That’s why I am a huge fan! And don’t worry, the lavender is only present on the actual toilet roll (not paper!). The scent adds a special touch to your bathroom for an affordable price. I’m loving the fresh, lavender aroma filling my bathroom when I step inside. It’s the little things that help me escape the stresses around me.
Angel Soft® will be hosting a Twitter Party with LBC on Wednesday, 3/5 where we will gift three (3) giveaways of a year’s supply of Fresh Lavender Scent bath tissue and a $100 gift card to Massage Envy Spa (available nationwide). RSVP HERE.
