It’s mother’s day this month, so all you mums out there, if you need a quick pick-me-up, here are a few ideas to treat yourself this month or any month you feel like it! All mums deserve a treat once in a while and you certainly don’t need to spend the earth to get some me time.
Get a Pedicure
Pedicures generally run around £15-£25. Nothing feels better than a little foot massage and some pretty paint on your piggies. If you don’t have the time or money to get a professional pedicure, then do it yourself. You will be glad you did!
Order a Take-away for Dinner
Sometimes an exhausting day can keep you from even having enough energy to throw a frozen dinner in the oven or heat up leftovers. For those days, why not order a take-away? You have worked hard all day, now just relax and enjoy your evening!
Chill during Nap Time
Nap time is usually mum’s favourite time of day, since she can get things accomplished. But for today, how about using nap time to get some relaxation in! Take a nap yourself, paint your nails, read a magazine, or catch up on your soaps. Do whatever you want to do in order to relax!
Buy some new underwear
As a mum, it’s still important to feel sexy too. It’s likely that you haven’t gone shopping for new underwear in a while, so take an afternoon and hit the shops! Pick out some new things to make you feel sexy and pretty. You deserve it!
Indulge in some chocolate
Most of the time, mums work hard to get their pre-babe back, and that’s a good thing. But sometimes, you just need to indulge! Go ahead and have that cream cake or that piece of chocolate. Every now and then won’t hurt.
Make an effort
It’s so easy to fall into the rut of wearing leggings, tees, a ponytail, and no makeup. For most days, that’s fine since you need to be comfy anyway. But every now and then, it’s nice to make an effort. Put on some actual clothes and wear a little makeup. You will be surprised at how it makes you feel, and this is an easy way to pamper yourself in 10 minutes or less.
Arrange for a sitter
You don’t always need to pay a sitter for a date night or a day out shopping. Arrange a swap with a trusted friend and swap a night/day with her. Offer to watch their children one night or day in exchange for babysitting for you.
Hire a cleaner
This may be a bit costly, but if you can afford it, it’s worth it. Keeping up with daily chores can be taxing enough without adding deep cleaning to the mix. When you find yourself stretched to the limit, hire someone to clean your house that week. That’s one less stress off your mind, and you have extra time to sit down and do whatever you want since your house is all clean!
Take a bubble bath
When the kids are tucked in bed, and you are worn out. Slip on a furry bathrobe and get your supplies together! A nice glass of wine, plenty of silky bubbles, warm bath water, and a magazine or book to read.
