There is nothing like a soothing bath to eliminate the stresses of the day. When we get home ladies, there is so much to do…dinner, household maintenance, homework, baby bath time…so when do you have time for yourself? After watching my son as an infant enjoy his bath time I said to myself…”self, you could have the same joy and peace.” So, I started my own Mommy bath time that I would like to share with you.
Once your evening settles down take time for yourself with a relaxing bath and pamper yourself after a long day. Start by making your bathroom area a spa like oasis. Turn down the lighting and illuminate a few candles. Play mid tempo music in a different room so you can hear it from a distance, giving you the feeling that your oasis is grand. Pour a few drops of your favorite aromatherapy oils in your bath water. My favorites are rosemary and lavender; even add a few bubbles or rose peddles if you like. Submerge yourself in the warm scented water and let yourself go. Ahhh….ME Time!
Now if you want to upgrade your relaxing oasis you can use bath and body products to enhance your experience. Use a salt or sugar scrub to exfoliate your body. Try a cooling mask and give yourself a facial. Or perhaps you can just relax and have a glass of wine during your bath.
As you carve Me Time Moments into your life, let your mind wander at the endless possibilities of indulging in your personal serenity.
