Welcome to the first segment of Terrific Tuesdays! Let's face it; Everyone knows that Life can be hard, and it can be super easy to get tired, crabby, and just plain run down! But feeling run down and sad all the time is no way to live! I know that's a pretty obvious statement, but I guess the difficult part for a lot of us, is knowing how to/making time to
recharge your battery, start feeling more full of energy, and to get your spark back! After
all, how are you going to go out and change the world, if you barely have enough energy and ambition to change the lightbulb that burnt out in your kitchen last week?!! So that is
why I have created; Terrific Tuesday!
Every couple of Tuesdays, I will be writing a post about different ways for you to take care of yourself! Pamper yourself! And give yourself the break you deserve! This will include health and exercise tips, spa recipes, hair and makeup stuff, inspirational quotes and lessons from people much smarter than me, and much more!
So, every Tuesday after you get home from work, change into something comfy, make yourself a cup of tea, grab your compy, and enjoy!
Today, I am going to tell you how to relaaaax...Now, I sometimes feel that the word relax
,
can be thought of as a naughty word in this fast paced-do as much as you can-never stop to take a breath cuz then your considered a selfish, lazy person- society that we live in. But
thats not true! If you dont take a little time for yourself every once in a while, you are going to get sick much easier, be stressed all the time (which always leads to angry and freak out moments), and not be in a position to function as well as you are capable of! So, I'm gonna
give you a couple relaxation tips today, and you can use them one at a time, whenever you need them, OR make one big relaxation night out of it! (I suggest doing the relaxation night once a week or every other week).


First of all, draw yourself a bath. Not a, scalding, turn red and have to get out after being
in for only 5 minutes-type of bath, but a bath that is a perfect warm temperature so that it dosent turn your skin red (that dries out your skin super fast).
Pour some epsom salt under the running water. Epsom Salt is aweesomeee...it detoxes your body, relieves stress, soothes sore muscles, & softens and depuffs skin (See told you it was awesome)! 
Then sprinkle a couple drops of lavender essential oil under the running water. The fragrance of lavender is known to relax and soothe the mind and the body.
Next, put bubbles in the bath (Bubbles are just fun and awesome and instantly make you happy!).
Make yourself a nice hot cup of chamomile or lavender tea with honey, turn your phone off, grab a magazine, or book of poetry, whatever relaxes you, light a couple candles, and soak all your worries away! This is my absolute favorite way to relax when I'm stressed 
out or sore. So go ahead, do it tonight! And whenever you feel a bit stressed. Your body will thank you for it!

And Happy Birthday wishes go out today to my sweet, wonderful amazing boyfriend! I have QUITE the day planned out for us, but it's a surprise for him, so I can't tell you about it until later this week! *SO* excited!
​Isn't he so handsome?!!



Peace Love and Relaxation
