Get Organised in 30 Days, Day 24

Self Image and Self Care

As a busy mum and carer, I have had very little time to myself over the years. I learned a few years ago how to do a few things once a week to set my week up to be successful. Normally on a Friday night (or Saturday if we have a date night), I do these 3 things:

1. Spend 30 minutes ironing my clothes and pair up outfits for the next week. 
2. Have a soak in the bath, give myself a facial and manicure my eyebrows
3. paint my nails.

By doing these 3 tasks, I find that I am less stressed during the week, as I already have my clothes ready. I can stumble out of bed n the morning and grab an outfit, put it on and start my day looking good. I also have regularly scheduled appointments with my hair dresser. This is my one BIG outlay every 2 months, as I do colour my rapidly greying hair. I have saved hundreds of dollars by doing my own eyebrows and facials. This allows me to have the luxury of getting my hair done.

Today, I challenge you to add to your weekly facial routine and do these 3 tasks. take some time out and think about next week. Make up some outfits, paint your nails, spend a little time on yourself. I guarantee that your mood will improve and you will have a spring in your step.

I also challenge you today to book in a couple of date nights in with your loved ones. With your partner and with your children (should you have any). 

Have a wonderful Friday

God Bless

Friday is here again!

Ok, so Friday is here again. I bet you feel worn out, run down and really want out for a little while huh? I know I get that way. Especially when I haven't taken the time to really look after myself. 

Time to plan "Me" time

Yes! you need to plan me time. You need to write in your diary, note it on your fridge or set a reminder on your phone. Schedule in some time to do something you LOVE! For me that is sewing. I have for the last year set in my diary that I will sew for 30 minutes each day. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, I feel the stress melt away. I also plan day trips for myself. I love to get away down south and catch up with a couple of old friends and maybe even take a stroll on the beach.

Having this time out, is like having a mini holiday. Especially for busy mums. My family knows when I have been able to do this and when I haven't, as my moods can change quite starkly. 

Please do this mission, as it will help to break the feeling that you are always cleaning house or chasing children. I know that it really is my sanity saver. 

So go get your diary or planner and schedule it in!

God Bless

Today you are going to take some time to look after yourself. Time to relax  and unwind with a face mask. If you would like to make your own, you can try one of the recipes I found here.

Nice and easy. Remember also to drink lots of water with the weather heating up in the next few days. 

Have Fun and God Bless
