So on Sunday I decided enough is enough! So I got up off the couch, poured myself a glass of wine, got my latest Essence magazine and had a relaxing bubble bath! When I was done (an hour and a half later) I asked my hubby why I don’t do this more often and he just shrugged his shoulders. I really don’t know why either! Why do I have to keep reminding myself to make time for ME?
Well, as of today I promise myself that I will go on a little retreat to my home sanctuary (master bathroom) at least 3 times a month. Even if I have to schedule it on my calendar like I do everything else for everybody else!
Here are the rules that I made for myself so that I can fully enjoy my pampering time:
1. light some aromatherapy candles
2. read a brand new magazine
3. enjoy a glass of wine or two
4. think only happy thoughts
5. inhale and exhale slowly

An hour and a half... NICE! I wish I had a jacuzzi bath tub. I could use one right. about. now. Good for you on making time for yourself. It's so important for your sanity.
Hi Nikki! So glad I stumbled upon your blog...It's beautiful and inspiring! Before my youngest, I use to take baths with candles, wine the whole nine and I LOVED it. That "me" time needs to happen again! Great post :-) When you get a minute swing by my blog for a visit and say "Hi"! Thanks for sharing!

P.S. Jealous of your jacuzzi! Go girl! :)
I can soooo relate! I remember the excitement I felt over our jacuzzi tub when we bought our home. I had big dreams for it...yet, there it sits, one of the dustiest places in our house!
The lure of wine and candles may pull me back there. Thanks for the reminder!! :)
Thank you for stopping by my blog. It encouraged me. Following you back...and looking forward to getting to know you!
Be blessed~

P.S. I love the title of your blog!
Good for you Nikki. I have a regular bath tub in my regular apartment but I definitely make time to soak with a few magazines, a candle and wine. I stay there until I'm wrinkled and all the stress I was carrying has been carried down the drain. Taking care of me is essential!
