MODERN MOM
Self-care comes in many different forms, whether it be a daily skin-care routine, reading a new book, taking a bath, journaling, etc. Whatever your interests are, you can always benefit from a day dedicated to your health!
Sleep In Mama
by MORGAN SIGLER
Netflix Marathon
For many moms, constant sleep deprivation is a standard feature of motherhood -- just like blouses stained with spit-up and Cheerios crumbs in every purse. “Mothers really underestimate the importance of getting enough sleep,” says Jodi A. Mindell, PhD. “Sleep deprivation has so many serious consequences for their health and their families.” So hit that snooze, tell dad to take care of breakfast. Give yourself some extras ZZZ’s!
An evening (or a whole day if you want) of uninterrupted, not-for-kids Netflix is worth its weight in gold. I’ve learned that even though watching TV gets a bad rap as the “junk food” of media diets, it can be good for you—as long as you give yourself permission to indulge and relax. There are lots of good new shows on not only Netflix but Hulu, Prime Video, HBOGO ... the options are endless!
At Home Spa Day Lock yourself in the bathroom and don’t come out until you’ve used all that nail polish, face cream, face masks and body butter you’ve been squirreling away for a rainy day. You can find lots of DIY face mask, hair mask, bath bombs, ect. online and most of them use ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Here are a few at home salon services I have personally tried and LOVED!
