Every Wednesday at Anasa we celebrate a “Midweek Me Moment” This is simply taking 20 minutes today for yourself - to relax, savor your favorite treat, drink a glass of wine, read something, take a bath...whatever makes your “Me Moment” special to you!
Everyone needs quality time for themselves. Women,
especially, need time to pamper themselves a little after that busy day.
As that old saying goes, “Men may work from Sun to Sun, but a woman's
work is never done”. That saying certainly stands true; a little time set
aside for yourself isn't too much to ask. It doesn't matter if it’s late
evening, nighttime or early morning - take the time and the steps to pamper
yourself. Remember that you as a whole are what you are stuck with for
the rest of your life, so treat yourself and love yourself completely.
- Spritz the face. Keep a small spray bottle filled with spring water to mist your face during the day and at night. Try a lemon orLavender mist as well
- Exfoliate your body. Sugar scrubs are a good way to shed dead skin, plus they’re aromatherapeutic and will leave you soft and sooth
- Treat Your Toes - Give yourself a pedicure (Yes, you too, guys)
- Soothe the hands. Take care of your hands the same as you would your face by applying hand lotion or even your face cream, especially at night
- Apply a facial mud mask. Mud masks help purify and remove toxins from the skin
- Give ALL of your skin a treat. Don't forget to moisturizer to the rest of your body and pay attention to the delicate neck area
- Use scent to lift your mood. Light some of your favorite candles. Yankee Candle Simply Home Bartlett Pear Jar Candles
- Try using vanilla or lilac body sprays; they will add that special touch after a nice shower or bath
- Treat the legs. Don't forget to put cream on your legs - Cocoa or Shea butter works great
- Jazz up the teeth. Get in the habit of taking care of your teeth, and don't forget to floss. Maybe even slap some whitening strips on your teeth!
- Eat well. Prepare yourself a generous meal, relax and really taste the food
- Chill down for the night. Rent yourself a good movie, kick your feet up, and relax. Spend a little time at night to yourself
- Exercise. Exercise and physical activities reduce stress and release built up emotions. Walking about 30 minutes a day is a relaxing activity. It’s a fact that exorcising promotes good physical and mental health
- Build a fire and stretch out and relax in front of it
- Enjoy a glass of your favorite wine, cheese, fruit and crackers
- Curl up on the couch with a paper, book or even write, or watch your favorite show
- Have a relaxing cup of tea, hot cocoa or coffee. Maybe try a new organic tea or if you are drinking hot cocoa or coffee, try adding some whipped topping and chocolate or caramel syrup
- Save up money so you can go shopping and treat yourself to a few gifts
- Sleep, enjoy a nap!
- Meditate or take a moment to Pray
