I love moments like these, they do not come often and sometimes we have to be creative with mapping out time for ourselves! On Saturday mornings my husband takes both girls off to German school. This activity buys me 3 blissful hours on my own in the house. I plan this time viciously and so Friday night all the house work is done, clothes/uniforms ready and ironed for the week ahead, meal for the day is cooked {slow cooking in oven or prepped}.
Fast forward to Saturday morning,as soon as they are out the door I do a virtual cartwheel, jump in the shower and preen for as long as possible, music blasting and candles lit! Then I douse myself in lotions and potions and oils. I then slip my comfy house shoes on and head downstairs. I make myself a green tea, sit looking out unto the garden, flipping through one of my journals and enjoy the quiet in complete gratitude.
This recent ritual has greatly improved my level of creativity, ability to focus and remain centered for longer. I am also a more pleasant person all round being able to give more of myself to others and to my craft.
I cannot encourage you enough to carve out some ME TIME for yourself, embrace it, revel in the bliss of refueling ...and re-emerge a happier individual.!
Very best wishes to you..Chelsea

Totally agree Chelsea! Moments to yourself are like rare gems! When my hubby takes the children & even sometimes the dog I smile from ear to ear. Rejuvenation is so important for everyone to do. If gives clarity, peace and relaxation. Enjoy your serenity.
