National Relaxation Day, Treat yourself
Hi friends, it’s national relaxation day! As a mom to a toddler boy, I’ve really gotten skilled at using 30 min chunks of time to relax. Here are my top 3 ways to chilllll:
.
1.
hot bath: My mother passed down her love for baths to me, and I take them very seriously. Epsom salts are required, as are bubbles. I typically read in the bath, or pour a glass of wine and enjoy that. I like Dr. Teal’s Lavender Epsom Salts, inexpensive and smell lovely. For bubble bath, I love Library of Flowers Willow & Water. A splurge but I have found that crappy bubble bath makes very few bubbles and we cannot have that. For soap, I love Paisley and Co Earth soap. They are a small shop also out of Kutztown, and the owner Joanne went to college with my dad!

2.
good book: Reading is so calming for the mind, such a different relaxation vibe vs. watching TV. Sometimes I just need to get away from screen time! I try to read one book per month, and I’m currently on book 7 for the year. I’m one month behind! I’m reading a very long, scientific book called
Outlive, all about longevity and health and how to preemptively manage what the author calls “the four horsemen” diseases: Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Heart Disease, and Diabetes. The idea is to understand early warning signs in our bodies before these diseases take hold in our 60s, 70s, and 80s. Fascinating read but very dense. Earlier this year I read Lessons in Chemistry which was so fun and good! Much more of a beach read!

3. cup of tea + guilty pleasure tv: I just finished Queen Charlotte, the prequel series to Bridgerton. So delightful and the costumes were FANTASTIC! Highly recommend if you are a Bridgerton fan, or if you want a little dose of history with your guilty pleasure TV. For tea, I am a huge Harney and Son’s fan, my mom and I gift each other their Paris Tea regularly.
