I have a secret to share

So guess what I was doing at 9:00 am on a Monday.  I treated myself to a little self-love.  Yup, I was soaking in a decadent bubble bath with candles and magic music playing.  Mid-morning on a Monday you say? Crazy I know, its even worse, the dishes weren't done, the laundry is piled up and the dust bunnies are winning the battle.  Yet there I was in my own personal bliss, soaking away my hair up in a funny smelling mask, having the time of my life.

So what led to this rebellion of order?  Well I got up with my plan for the day in mind and took a quick scroll through my Facebook pages.  There was a definite theme happening, self love, time to care for your personal energy levels.  I thought this doesn't pertain to me, I always make time for myself.  I have never been one to give and give.  I know the adage, "you can not give from an empty cup," and I follow it.  Yet as these messages kept popping up I started to think.  When was the last time I really put some effort in to my me time.  Well it took a bit to remember so I knew it had been to long.

So once the kids headed out the door for school I took my cup of coffee and started to prepare for some good ole me seduction time.  I mean if I'm going to break all the normal conventions for a bubble bath it might as well be worth it.  Out came the expensive bubble bath, the scented candles, my favourite You-Tube sexy music.  My daughters hair mask.  I turned off the phones and tuned in to myself.

It doesn't matter when you find time to treat yourself like a Queen it only matters that you do.  When was you last luxurious bath time? Trust me it was worth it, and the dishes and laundry they never complained one bit about being put off a few hours.
