Dutiful Domestic Diva, Take Your Time Back!

Ahhh, February the month of AMOUR.

But let’s be honest, you give your kids love-in, love-out, day-in, day-out. Husband too, he feels the love in all that you do. Sooooo, let’s make February the month of Loving ‘Moi’. No, not me, but YOU. Take a little time (or a lot) for yourself.

May we be so bold to make a few suggestions? Umm, yeah, don’t know why we asked, never have before. So here’s your Loving Moi 101.

Put Your Feet Up – Put your feet up and give the rugrats an extra fifteen minutes past their bedtime if they each grab a toots AND rub. No patting allowed, rubbing WITH pressure only. Or let them take turns combing your hair or even better ‘tingling’ it. (Custard Cream, Tingler)
Order Out – Order out or have your other half cook a meal or two a week. And do the dishes, it’d take years of this before he catches up to your dishpan hands. (Chef Uniforms)
Chillax! – Pop or open a tin of dark chocolate and a bottle of red wine, light a candle, lock the door and chillax. I take that back. Deadbolt the door and chillax. (The Classic Dark Collection, Gourmet Scented Candles)
Make a Spa Pour Vous – Make a spa pour vous (since Wall Street bonuses stripped us of our spa bu-jay (read: budget, or read earlier post to get the definition of bu-jay)). (Cooling Ice Mask, Spa Gift Set, Bath and Body )

Whatever floats your boat, log a little ‘me time’ this month. We’ll be back on the fashion track come March. But for now, carpe diem, or carpe a few minutes at the very least. And remember the wine helps.
