10 guilty pleasures for momsAs moms, we spend most of our time taking care of everyone else, whether it is in the boardroom, the bathroom or the bedroom. While I encourage you to take time on a regular basis for yourself, I also encourage you to treat yourself with some little things on a regular basis that will lift your mood and possibly relieve some pent-up stress. I have listed some things below to get your mind thinking on these and other possibilities. 1. I love scented candles! I love to change scents for the seasons. Loving the fall scents right now! Plus, I like to have a lavender scent in my bedroom to help with sleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2. I have drank hot coffee for years. Recently though, I learned that I loved iced coffee! I have learned to make some iced coffee at home, but I also like to keep the Starbucks instant iced as well, and it is cheaper than going in to Starbucks! ![]() ![]() ![]() 3. I have a love of flowers, and what women wont love flowers too. ![]() ![]() 4. What woman doesn’t love chocolate? I am particularly fond of Ghirardelli chocolate in various forms. One of my biggest treats ( and biggest downfall!) are brownies. I could eat brownies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ![]() ![]() ![]() 5. A good book. Every woman should have a good fiction book that she is reading, even if only a few pages a day. I am currently making my way through a great book on my ereader- Here, Home, Hope. Loving this book! Will probably read Safe Haven by Nicolas Sparks next. ![]() ![]() 6. A good glass of wine is a must on occasion! ![]() ![]() 7. A breath of fresh air can really do you some good. If possible, take a walk outside. If not, stand on the porch and just breathe in and out. If you really want a refreshing, find a creek to sit beside! ![]() 8. Have a favorites playlist. I am not savvy when it comes to mp3′s and iPods and Pandora and now Spotify. But I do love music, and I have lots of music videos on Youtube that I listen to for a pick me up. You can’t help but dance along! here is a playlist that I have created that has a ton of song that you will find on my ipod… 9. Many people do spend way too much time watching TV, and I don’t agree with sitting for hours just mindlessly watching. However, I think it is a great treat for moms to have a show or 2 or 3 that she saves for watching. , A few of my shows that I watch are: Chicago Fire, Boston Finest, Haven, and a few others. I do watch a lot of shows that a available for free on Hulu.com 10. A favorite lip gloss or lipstick – this can definitely be a pick me up. Sometimes the scent of your favorite lip gloss can cheer you up, or if you have a fab color lipstick that you know you look great in, apply before heading out the door. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, ladies, what are YOUR favorite guilty pleasures? |
