Whether you are a mommy or not, taking time to take care of yourself is so important. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with my Charlotte Lane, but ME TIME is an absolute must in order to maintain my sanity. When Charlotte goes down for her nap after lunch, I make sure to spend time taking care of myself and my needs. Today I am sharing what I do during my me time and hope that you can use some of these ideas to spend some time on yourself as well!
WORKOUT
First thing I do EVERYDAY when I put Charlotte down for her nap is workout. Working out not only helps with my confidence, but it helps relieve stress and puts me in a better mood. Working out truly helps me stay sane. You can shop all my workout essentials and read about my workout routine HERE.
SPEND TIME WITH MY ANIMALS
The second thing I do is either take care of my horses or spend time with them! When my horses are healthy, I try to ride at least twice a week. It brings me so much happiness and again helps my stress levels.
HOME PROJECTS
Another one of my passions is working on home projects. In the past I have tiled the backsplash in both our kitchen and our bathroom while Charlotte has slept and now I am working on our laundry room cabinets. Painting, tiling, and decor in general are so relaxing and rewarding.
If you want to want to paint some cabinets of your own, this paint is quick and easy. This is not a forever solution however. If you want something more permanent, you will have to sand, prime, and use enamel paint . I plan to renovate our laundry room in the future, so this paint is great quick aesthetic fix in the meantime.
PAMPERING SESSIONS
Once I am done working out, working on all of my projects or spending time outside, I spend time on self care. This is the time where I get my shower in, where I can self tan, or put some makeup on. On days where I don’t need to do those things, I simply wash my face, apply my serums and creams, use my eye patches, ice roll or use a mask on my face, feet, or hands. I recently purchased this Gua Sha and plan to start using it at this time as well! If you are interested in some of the products I use for self care at home, you can shop them in this POST.
