Chic Mama Beauty: Products to help with De-stress-ing...
I have mentioned here that I am stress. Not just a little stress but not sleeping well, headaches and work load out of control stress. While I had some time off during the holidays and as a the year was winding down I realized that just getting by isn’t cutting it. My stress is affecting my daily mood and frankly has been bumming me out. In the last month I have made some big steps in getting some balance in my life. I first started with work with voicing my concerns on how my work load builds up with little pause to catch my breath. I voiced what was important to me (my family) and where my work day needed to end so I can focus on my home life. How does this all relate to bath salts? Well in my road to de-stressing I am taking more baths. I have also started acupuncture and yoga which you’ll here about this more in the coming months. I know products can get gimmicky and sell us tired parents on market-able words however I tested these products and they help. Are they miracle workers? No- they aren’t claiming to be. However, when a product has ingredients such as lavender or oils that are known to heal they do work. This is just a step in our day or week of taking care of ourselves and if some bath salts can ease my weary bones, sign me up or rather draw me a bath please!
