Today’s mom has constant demands on her time, so how does she find room to fit in a little self-pampering? If we can learn to consciously program ourselves to appreciate small indulgences, we can take precious opportunities to revel in stolen moments of bliss.
Those moments may only last a few short minutes, but the effects can cause ripples of relaxation that can last days, even weeks.
Often a quick treatment – some extra TLC spent on one’s hair, skin and makeup – can do a world of good. For instance, create a spa day escape in the comfort of your own home. Light candles, play tranquil music and take a hot bubble bath.
