When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
Two days ago. I had been treated to a haircut and blow dry for my birthday, so I left my son with my sister in law and I went to the salon for 2 hours. It was lovely! I had a cappuccino, chatted with my favourite hair stylist and left there feeling like a million bucks.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
Getting my nails done once a month, binge watching one of my favourite series and a bubble bath after a long day.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
Don’t feel bad for asking someone that you trust to look after your child for an hour or two. Also, don’t feel bad or selfish for “leaving” your child to go and have some me-time. Mom guilt has a way of creeping in, but having some me-time and practicing self-care is so good for mental health and happy mom = happy baby.
