It is wonderful to be able to celebrate being a woman, being a mom, a wife and a provider. But, just in case you've had one of those overload weeks where appointments, schedules, meetings, practices, the house and so many things occupied all your "ME" time.
Here are some ideas of ways to have "ME" time at home without leaving home. You just may have what you need in your home to treat yourself to a Home Spa today. You're so worth it. Enjoy! May God's peace fill your home as you rest.
Before you begin:
- Find your favorite music and put it on. (softly or LOUDLY)
- Choose to rejoice and have a relaxing time.
- Find any books or magazines you will want to read and place them by your side or on the floor in a basket.
- If you like a nicely scented room, light some candles.
- Organize your supplies, towels, ingredients and items you'll need in one place.
- Tell everyone in your home that now it's your time and that they should only come to you if it's an emergency. If your husband is home, share what you want to do and ask for his help in giving you some "ME" time.
I've provided the links for all these great ideas. Just click on titles.
Soothing Oatmeal Scrub (Facial Cleanser)Click for more
Ground
oatmeal not only serves as a wonderful exfoliator, but it also absorbs and
removes surface dirt and impurities while leaving your skin nourished and
hydrated. It has been known to soothe and heal everything from acne to sunburn
to dry, flaky skin. Given its gentle nature, it is also ideal for those with
sensitive skin. Combine 1 tablespoon of ground oatmeal with 1/4 teaspoon of
salt, which boosts the face treatment's exfoliating properties, and 1 teaspoon
of water or olive oil to make it into a paste. Gently rub it onto your skin in
circular motions, let sit for five to 10 minutes and rinse.

For Dry or Sun-Damaged Hair Click for more
Honey is a natural humectant, which
means it attracts and locks in moisture.
To
Use: Massage approximately 1/2 cup honey into clean, damp hair, let sit for 20
minutes, then rinse with warm water. You can also add 1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil to
loosen the honey for easier application. For extremely sun-damaged hair, trying
mixing honey with 1 to 2 Tbsp of a protein-rich ingredient, like avocado or egg
yolk, which will help replenish the keratin protein bonds that UV rays attack.
Treatment can be applied once a month.

egg yolks, beaten
1/4
cup milk

ingredients in a small bowl. Soak nails for 10-15 minutes. Rinse well. Apply
cuticle oil. Protein from the eggs and calcium from the milk will make those
nails hard as rocks!
Ways to Release Stress
Massage
Read a book, Read the Psalms in the Bible
Listen to music. If you're a Christian, Worship music is great!
Do something you haven't done in a long time that gives you joy!
Call up your old friend
Another
natural way to soften your skin that has been used for centuries, olive oil is
a necessary part of any woman's beauty routine. Olive oil is amazing at getting
rid of makeup and other access dirt and oils from your skin, replacing the bad
stuff with natural moisture that your skin so desperately needs. Use a few
drops of olive oil in your bath if you have trouble getting makeup off your
face, or if you have spent the day outdoors.
The rest is up to your personal style. Makeup, hair, lotions, perfumes, and taking time for you. I hope some of these ideas were a blessing!
