What Can You Do For 5 Minutes?
Deep Clean Your Tub OR Shower!
One of my favourite places in our house is the bath tub.
I love to soak.
Back in the day before kids, I used to spend about an hour every day reading with a glass of wine.
That seems like a looooong time ago!!
Although I haven’t done it in a long time, the bath is still a place that I use to reboot.
And it is so much better when it is sparkling clean or if I don’t have to clean it before I get in!
Take 5 minutes to do a deeper cleaning in your tub or shower.
Get some clean towels too and a nice bar of soap.
For a true spa experience, grab some naturally scented beeswax or soy candles.
You’ve just created an instant oasis.
Be sure to use it.
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT
Next time you happen upon some natural homemade goodies, buy a few.
Or make your own – they can be very cheap and easy to make.
If you don’t know how to do it or need some ideas, watch for my guide that will be out soon.
Here are a few quick tips for shopping natural (not only do the synthetics absorb into your skin – they also go into the water system and don’t break down – is that clean? Vote with your shopping dollars I always say :0)
A BIT ABOUT NATURAL
Just watch that you are getting a natural product if you want to avoid synthetics – handmade does not mean natural – and ‘natural’ on the label does not even usually mean ‘all’ natural either – especially if you are in a retail store buying mass produced products.
Generally if it lists fragrance rather than essential oils it is synthetic, most fruity scents are not essential oils btw with the possible exception of citrus such as orange, lemon etc, also many of the coloured soaps are coloured with synthetics and melt and pour soaps are often made from a chemical base.
Real goat milk soaps are amazing as are castile for the face or sensitive skin (castile is pure olive oil soap – most times these days they are often 90% or there about which is also good. The lather isn’t very bubbly but you can’t beat it for sensitive skin.)
Not only are you relaxing, which is good for your health, you are using a chemical free product which is always better for you health – and you are supporting a hard working entrepreneur!
See you tomorrow, same place, same time :0)
