I need Sanctuary!!!
Are you in a home where the only bathtub in the entire house is the one that your kids use? Is it filled with kids’ bath toys, rubber duckies, little people tug boats and such? I know that this is definitely my house and what I go through to take a bath in the tub to turn it into mommy’s sanctuary. If this sounds like you then don’t feel bad you’re not alone. We Mom’s sacrifice a lot for our families and especially our kids. The one thing that you shouldn’t skimp on is you’re “me†time. If you are like me and would love to just spend 20 minutes or longer lounging in the tub to relax and give yourself a good all over body treat I can tell you how to go about transforming the kids bathroom into mommy’s sanctuary for the next 20 minutes. This is what I do to transform and create a little space for my “me†time.
First of all make sure the kids are good and asleep before starting if you can’t find a sitter for you to do this. You know I am about to say the dreaded “c†word….CLEAN…AGHHH there I said it ïŠ Yes you need to clean the bathroom right after the kids have had their baths and put away their tub toys , or better yet have them do it. Find you some candles and a nice relaxing beverage, like Chamomile Tea or wine if you prefer and set it to the side for a moment. Get what items you think you would need to help you relax in YOUR tub (now that the kids toys are put away that is what it is YOUR tub now.) , for me it is candles, my handcrafted body care items I make, Incense, and a soothing CD on the CD player. Place the items wherever you have space for them, and of course keeping all electronics WELL AWAY from any water source if possible. If you are lighting candles go ahead and do so while the water is running. I turn the Bathroom light off and bask in the soft candle light so I can meditate while in the tub. Once everything is to your liking and you are ready to get in GO FOR IT!! You deserve that little bit of quite time to regroup and think about NOTHING. Work on meditating and visualizing on positive things that happened throughout the day or what your dreams are. That is up to you what you do during your down time. I personally try to do this once a week (kids allowing from illnesses of course). Try to get yourself on a schedule (hey we do it for our kids why not for ourselves too) so you can begin to look forward to that weekly ritual of letting everything melt away for those few moments and take care of yourself for a change. Goodness know us mom’s put ourselves last 95% of the time and we end up run ragged and needing that time to relax and recoup just as much as our kids need naps.
So do yourself a favor and take the time out to take that tub over and turn it into your personal sanctuary to recharge your batteries and regroup for the next day/week. Your family will thank you for it!!

Help I have Acne!!!!
Do you suffer from acne or the occasional zit attack during your monthly cycle? This is a problem that plagues most teens and some women that are past their twenties. If you are among this group you are not alone. I myself suffer from the occasional breakout during my monthly cycle. Why is it that this happens? Well for starters, it could be something in your diet that could be causing you to have breakouts, or in the case for those of us that are older it could be a hormonal trigger, such as, your menstrual cycle. There are a number of reasons to why it could be happening and you just need to take a look at your diet, hormonal changes, and skin care regime. All this should be done under the eyes of a doctor be it a N.D. (Naturopathy Doctor), Licensed Esthetician, or a Dermatologist.
If you see a N.D. they will give you a more holistic (natural) way to go about how to treat your acne. They may tell you to use an oatmeal honey mask or to try a toner that is a mix of Rose Water and Lavender Essential oil. Your Esthetician may tell you or create the same type of products for you to use. A Dermatologist on the other hand depending if they lean on the holistic side or not may prescribe you an ointment or cream that has a bunch of chemicals in it. Though that is their call for what you may need.
At any rate if you are having an issue with your skin and you haven’t been able to solve it on your own with the knowledge that you have you NEED to seek out professional help. They can help you figure out what it may be that is going on from blood work if it’s a hormonal or allergic reaction to something in your diet or environment. This is why doctors are important so they can help us see things that we may not be able to see due to our lack of training for the inner workings of our bodies.
