Foot SOAK
Start the day off how you plan to end it and make it absolute luxury!
Feet can be easy to forget. They quietly and diligently do their job of supporting us throughout the day, carrying us from one place to another, and putting up with all kinds of interesting footwear choices. And let’s not get started on chasing around them children! A lot of us know the benefits of ingesting herbs but the benefits of having it in our environment and on our body are incredible. For the best herbal foot soak experience, here are the herbs I use:
Lavandar
Rose Petals
Peppermint
Rosemary
Dried Lemon Balm
Eucalyptus
Kava

A morning Kava
KAVACRAVE
The perfect addition to a news mom’s Mothers Day.
Have you heard about Kava? Kava is a holistic drink that is perfect for moms wanting to feel a nice smooth buzz but nothing to crazy to not be able to function.
Kava kava (“kava” for short) contains substances called kavapyrones. They act much like alcohol on your brain, making you feel calm, relaxed, and happy. The plant is also thought to relax muscles. Basically perfect for those daily aches you develop was a mom.

It's time for a
GOODREAD
As a new mom, one of the things I had to get used to was the idea of not having as much me time as I was once used to.
Although my “me-time” has considerably grown since Alína turned 1, I am still yet to have a few hours to catch up on a good book.
Social Media and the internet can be great but they can also be draining now and again I loved escaping into a book. There’s something about having an opportunity to reconnect to thoughts and stories written on paper. If you haven’t experienced the love of a good short read, maybe this Mother’s Day is the perfect time to get reacquainted.

RAVISH ME WITH MY
FAVORITEGIFTS
I birthed a human. A live human that I-mostly I , need to keep alive. I deserved to be ravished! And mommy so do you. You deserve to indulge in whatever gift you provide yourself, or whatever gift your partner or children provide you. This is the one time of year that you can set time aside to accept and enjoy the journey of Motherhood as a new mom, on a day that you can dedicate to honoring yourself and the incredible things your body can do while being on a budget.

Mediation & Reset
It is so easy to get lost in the matrix of grinding and trying to learn to balance Motherhood, being a partner or wife, while also working. It’s important to remember that you are not a robot, you are a human being. As a human being, it is so easy to forget the part of being a human that requires us to be. New moms, whether you’re into meditation or not, use Mothers Day as a stepping stone to creating a schedule that permits you one hour to just be. Whether that looks like meditating or just being still, know that there is no right way to meditate. Do what feels right to you and enjoy a moment of solemn, I promise you won’t regret it.
