When you’re a busy mother it’s really easy to feel you’ve lost control of your time. As a modern day mother of two, business woman and wife, sometimes I can’t help but feel frazzled and overcome with the time
crunch. How does this happen??? Well, I know the answer and I must remind myself constantly how to maintain emotional and physical balance.
Here is a list of top beauty and spirit lifting tips that help me stay on track:
- Stop and check in with yourself. On a scale of 1-10 for stress if you are feeling over a 5, then you need a time out.
- Look in the mirror…really look…do you need a nap? Do you need your roots colored? Do you feel confident? Everything can wait, your well-being cannot. Take care of whatever you need today. Especially your hair…it can set you over the edge for feeling good or bad. A little color, a blowout, a trim…whatever it takes, do it.
- Maintain “me time” if it’s the last thing you do. Take a walk, get a massage, get a facial, do whatever makes you happy, even for a half an hour.
- Visit your favorite stylist and ask for a few highlights and a glaze with a professional blowout. This is a win-win deal.
- Seasons change so should your hair, even a mild hair make-over and color will brighten your mood.
- Well-groomed hands and feet always say a lot and are simple ways to keep yourself feeling together.
If we lose control of our hair, nails and grooming we lose control of ourselves –take care of you.
