I can’t lie. As much as I love Maddie Grace and all things motherhood, sometimes I just need a break. And sometimes is an underestimation.  It’s a lot of time time. Tom will get home from work, I hand over all parental duties to him, and I look for a way to relax and find some zen. Most nights I can’t just leave the house (where would I go anyways, the supermarket?) so I need plenty of things to help me relax in the comfort of my own home. Luckily we have a giant whirlpool tub, and I can always throw together a few things to help me find some peace and quiet (even if I hear MG screaming in the next room). So what are the steps to do so yourself?

1) Set the mood. Yes you’re by yourself, but still set the mood for relaxation and calming. One of the first things you can do is light a candle, since if you’re anything like me the scents around you and your mood are directly connected. My new go to is the Glade® Blue OdysseyTM large candle available exclusively at Walmart. This candle smells amazing. Plus it’s affordable and will burn for up to 60 hours which is very important if you are a candle lover. I smell this candle and my mood does a 180. It’s the perfect scent for both calming me down, and fueling my creativity. If you try this candle you won’t be able to get enough of the bright bloom and sweet peach merged with touches of amber, musk, and woods. Add in the right music and you will feel a world away with these touches alone.

2) Journal. This always helps me unwind and relax. Even when I’m trying to have some “me” time I can’t get Maddie Grace of my mind, and it helps me to write down her milestones, and the funny things she does so that I don’t forget. I also like to keep track on my thoughts on life, good quotes I’ve read recently, or wise advice I’ve been given.

3) Pamper Yourself. I love using products that treat me the way I deserve. Anything moisturizing or fizzy I’m probably going to use. The best place to do this for me is taking a nice warm bath and with a cup of yummy tea. Other ideas might be to do an at home facial or mani/pedi, or some rejuvenating yoga.
