This past July I became a mom for the third time to beautiful Taylor. While life is great, it can also be totally chaotic at times. I am sure you can all relate if you have kids, with the thought that you just want a minute for yourself. Many a times a day, I simply ask my kids to close the bathroom door so I can shower in peace. Sound familiar? However, I also realize being a third time mom that it is truly important to take time for myself and enjoy life. For me, I need moments of sanity. I don’t want to be stuck in the same outfit that I wore three days in a row that for lack of a better word, stinks! I want tranquility, peace, and nice smelling clothes. Seriously is that too much to ask for?!
So for all the moms, old and new old out there, I created a few tips on how you can pamper yourself and enjoy life outside the everyday hustle and bustle!
1. Take time for yourself to read a good book with a cup of coffee. While this might sound unreasonable, even 20-30 minutes a day, will refresh you and gear you up to take care of all your kiddos. I love to get knee deep into a good romance novel and it certainly makes me feel better and more relaxed!
2. Get a manicure and or/pedicure or do one at home. No matter how busy I am, I always find the time to pamper myself with some nice nails and toenails. Every month, I get both done and I love how great I feel after. I love to do fun colors and designs, especially in the spring months ahead.
3. Like I said before, most new moms end up wearing the same pajamas or yoga pants 24/7 and most definitely forget to toss them in the laundry at night. I am so guilty of wearing the same pants when I am taking care of three kids and they end up smelling. I admit it because as a mom, I know we have all been there. One way, we can pamper ourselves is to wear beautiful smelling clothing everyday. Throw out those yoga pants, put on a fresh new outfit that is washed and smells great. Believe me this can make all the difference in mentally feeling good every day.
May I suggest to you, to try out the all new Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ which are in-wash scent boosters and deliver 5 times longer lasting fragrance. Before I go any further, you need to know that you can pick these and the Suavitel® liquid fabric conditioners up right now at your local Walmart. The minute you go in, head to the laundry aisle, and you will readily find them near the fabric softeners. You can get Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ in Field Flowers and Lavender scent. The choice is yours!
Let me tell you that since I discovered the Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™, it is all I talk about with my new mom friends. Most of us are walking around with formula smells and other rancid smells, but these can long be a thing of the past by using the Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™. Scent is one of the most important senses we have and I love to elicit the smells of the spring by washing my clothes with the Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™. Nothing makes this mama happier than to be pampered with fresh smelling clothes.
The smell also makes me think of those delicious newborn smells that we want to hold on to for so long, but they slowly slip away. Now, I can make sure these smells never go away by using the Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ and Suavitel® liquid fabric conditioners in my wash. These in-wash scent booster will give clothes a fresh aroma for weeks! Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ samples on select Suavitel® liquid fabric conditioners are now in store!
4. While it might not be feasible to go away for a long period of time, try to take some sort of vacation whether it is a mini-vacation, staycation, or full on vacation. I know it is hard to bring kids away and it can be expensive, but you can go on off-season or go to a lower cost hotel. It really doesn’t matter what you do as long as you get away and give your mind some time off. Everyone deserves a vacation.
5. Pamper yourself by getting new makeup and a makeover. Every few months, I love to splurge on new makeup and take a makeup lesson. There is just something so wonderful about getting “your face on” and feeling confident by applying your makeup. Trust me, you will get some time off and will feel great all at the same time.
Being a new mom is the best, but it is essential we take some time off for ourselves. I hope you enjoyed my tips and be sure to allow yourself some time off today! Nothing says happy like a well rested mom! 
How do you pamper yourself?
My nails and hair are always done. I think it’s important to look my best when I go out.
I used to use Downy until my daughter started using Suavitel and the grands clothes smelled divine. I made the switch. Just. Like. That. I didn’t really have time to pamper myself with the kids were growing up as I worked long hours at my doctors office. I had to see every patient that showed up apt or no, lol. But now, that’s a different story. I spoil myself by spending a fortune on coffee, tea and all of the wonderful products associated with these.
A bath and a good book are my two go-tos. I have to say, your kids are just beautiful, and so are you! I love that dress!
I have used Suavitel products because I like the way they smell. I especially like to use the liquid softner when I’m going to be hanging clothes on the line.
You look fabulous in the little black dress!! Thanks for the reminder to take some ‘me time’. I’m due!
hehehe my life can be a mess from mommy hood but I always find hair and nail time! As long as my nails and hair look pretty and my daughter has a smile on her face… Nothing else matters 😉
I pamper myself every night. I go into the bathroom and I may come out an hour later. Everyone knows to LEAVE ME ALONE!!
Those Suavitel products sounds great! I have to check them out for sure. Thanks for sharing 😀
I’ve never heard of Suavitel before but it looks like a great product! Thank you for sharing it with me! And your black dress is gorgeous!
I love pampering myself with a trip to the spa for a long foot massage! It really invigorates me! Sometimes I’ll bring along my daughter and we’ll do a combo mani-pedi. I need to check out Suavitel. It’s the first time I have heard of them.
It can be so hard to justify time to your self. These are great ways to pamper yourself!
I remember those smelly days when the kids were babies and never having time to myself. My kids are grown now, but I still like some “me” time every once in a while. There’s nothing like a good massage. I love fresh smelling clothes and sheets, so I can hardly wait to try this new product.
Looking good girl, it’s so important to take time for yourself. I’ve been working on doing better with this myself.
You look gorgeous! Me-time is a great way to re-focus especially if you’re a new MOm, it makes you regrouo your thoughts and emotion!
I’m an old mom, lol, but I’d sill like to do some of this pampering. I especially would like to try that new nail polish!
Great ideas! It’s super important for us mamas to pamper ourselves! Especially new mamas. It’s required! Well, it should be!
I always find the time to pamper myself as well. And a relaxing time for me would be a hot bath and then an afternoon siesta. 🙂
These are great ways to pamper yourself. I love to soak in a hot bath with a good book.
Your nails are so pretty!! I am in desperate need of a manicure and pedicure (which I usually do myself) although it’s been WAY too long!
I have always loved taking my mom to get her nails done for mother’s day. Maybe I should do something nice like that for myself every now and again haha.
I am not a mom yet, but I definitely cannot wait to become one soon. Painting your nails seems like a great way to ‘feel nice’ and relax too, without having to go through too much effort or time.
I guess I don’t really pamper myself because I’m too busy with 5 kiddos. I do know it’s important to though as a mom to get some me time. I love getting to be able to take a hot bath without getting interupted. =)
A manicure+pedicure session, makeover, and a short trip / mini-vacation are sure fire ways to make any girl ( moms especially and new moms ) feel pampered. We all need it.
I hope I’d be able to find Suavitel here in my country. I am really intrigued with the fragrance pearls and would love to try it.
I pamper myself by getting my eyebrows threaded. I also like to go shopping and treat myself to a pair of shoes – love, love shoes!
It is always important to pamper yourself every day! After all, who is the most important person in your life? YOU!
These are great tips! A bubble-bath with extra bubbles is my go-to when I need some time to myself. Nothing better than a long soak in the tub!
These are all awesome! 🙂 We definitely need to take time out for ourselves.
I do my nails on a regular basis. I find it is important to be good looking. I feel better after.
A new manicure always helps! I haven’t used that product before. Will have to look for it!
Great ideas! And lady, you look FABULOUS!!! I’ve seen those products before but never tried them… Maybe now’s the time!
Those are some great ideas to get a little me time. I’ve been recently trying to pamper myself a little more by doing my own nails at home. It really does feel great to do something for myself once and a while since I’m so busy being a mom.
I love the way that fabric softener smells!! I also agree that it’s a great idea to always take 30 minutes out of your day and focus on yourself!!
Oooh I completely hear ya on the yoga pants issue! A make up lesson sounds like a lovely way for some me-time. No matter what, I always seem to find a reason to ignore that and focus on something else. I’ve been REALLY overwhelmed lately and need to change it up a bit…
don’t think scented clothes would exactly work, although some NEW clothes may do the trick 😉
I am completely guilty of too many days in yoga pants! That is definitely something I have been working on! I think I need to go get a pedicure soon 🙂 #client
