Treat Yourself
I am on Day 10 of Social Distancing and honestly starting to hit a wall. The first few days felt incredibly care-free and relaxing; no where to be, no emails to check, no activities to rush to. It was a really nice break from the usual fast-paced and hectic life we live! Then the next few days were adventurous; we tried new activities with the kids, cleaned and organized the house, and spent a lot of time outside in our backyard. But now I am starting to lose steam; I am starting to miss work, my routine, and am definitely craving a little free time.
So rather than wallow in my own sadness, after all, I have SO MUCH to be grateful for given that we are healthy during this horrible virus; I decided I would strive for more balance. Yes, I still have to parent 24-7 and that’s an exhausting job, but I plan todo things that not only the kids enjoy, but I enjoy too. And when they are napping and sleeping, or watching TV, I plan todo some things that make me feel good – self-care!!
So I started to brainstorm what would make me happy… of course health related items… a cruiser biker (this one is SO CUTE and only $148!!) so we can cruise around the neighborhood in style – I love biking and don’t have a bike!! Then for my workouts, a fresh set of pretty blue weights and a new Swell water bottle. Oh, and how adorable are these vitamins?! I keep hearing how important it is to take vitamins right now, so why not also take ones that make your skin and nails look fabulous?!
Then on to the kitchen… I am cooking 3x a day and am getting bored of my meals, so I want to make more thoughtful recipes, and am splurging on new cookbooks and mixing bowls. If you don’t own a Kitchenaid mixer, I highly recommend one (this one is a great price!).
And of course, a few beauty items. A spritz of Rose Water feels so refreshing and smells heavenly. Then while I won’t be whipping out lipstick anytime soon, this new Cle de Peau Beaute Lip Glorifier Lip Balm is the softest lip shine I have ever used – it comes on very sheer, so perfect for any day!
