Have a wonderful bubble bath with some essential oils – the ones you choose can make all the difference to your mood…..
Bubble Bath – use a natural or organic bubble bath that isn’t full of nasty chemicals, which stress the body out. I like the Faith in Nature, Green People and Earth Friendly Baby brands, all easily available online and most good health stores stock them. Local mums can find them at Organically Speaking in Hartley Wintney and Food for Thought in Guildford – both fab stores!
Essential Oils –
For Relaxation : Add 5 drops of Lavender to a teaspoon of milk or cream – most decadent - can’t be beaten! You could also add a drop of Clary Sage to help you sleep.
To De-stress: 2 drops of Lavender
2 drops of Mandarin
2 drops of Orange
2 drops of Ylang-ylang
There are many websites detailing other wonderful oil blends, experiment with what works best for you.
Oils can be purchased online or from stores like Neal’s Yard (Local Mums – they have a store in Guildford). Try to buy organic oils where possible.
If the kids are playing up, add some oils to their baths too, to help chill them out. Half the quantities for under 12’s. As with all essential oils seek professional advice if you are pregnant.
For some lovely family bonding time, all jump in the bath together and enjoy the fun bubbles and relaxing aromas!
Relax and Enjoy the weekend fellow Mummies! Let me know how you enjoy your bubbles! x
I keep telling myself to have a bubble bath, but then it always feels so... wasteful. Like yoga. I need to be doing something! So I read in the bath and then the book falls in and then... well, you get the idea, stressful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up today. It would be great next time to link a 'Grateful' post and link back to the list so others can join in, but I'll let you off the hook today 'cos it's so nice to see a new face! x
Me time is never wasteful! If we don't recharge our own batteries, we have less to give to others :) You have to remember that you are a Human Being, not a Human Doing! It's good to just BE :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I've done a link thing, I'm quite new to all this blogging business, so you'll have to give me a few tips! Take care and enjoy a RELAXING weekend x
