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.
The Herbal Bath Collection from Kneipp
features five scents to induce calm, balance and stress reduction. Just
a few capfuls in the bath can help to transport mind and body to a
place of calm rejuvenation. – $22, Planet Beauty
Dermalogica’s
