Working Mothers - One Thing You Must Do to Reduce Stress, Create Work Life Balance and More Success

As a working mother, you have to balance your work and family life, and juggle many responsibilities. Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or getting sick easily? There's something you must do, in order to be a successful working mother.As a business owner and working mom myself, I know my family and my business depend on me being healthy and functioning at my full capacity. The other day, when I realized that I was too sick to be productive, I decided to take a day off and just rest. It turned out I needed more than a day. I let myself sleep as much as I needed, ingest and diffuse pure therapeutic-grade antimicrobial essential oils to help me recover faster, spent quiet time meditate and read, and did minimal cooking & housework. After a few day's rest, I'm once again moving full speed ahead. I had to reschedule a bunch of appointments and some projects got a bit delayed, but, I'm so glad I took time to take care of myself.A friend & colleague of mine sent me an email saying "Congratulations on taking care of yourself, you woman nurturer you!" That made me smile, realizing I've come a long way.Up until a few years ago, I used to put my family, my work, and a lot of other priorities before my self-care. The "old" me would have dragged myself out of bed, forcing myself to do everything I "should" do as if I wasn't sick, until I totally ran myself down. Sometimes I ended up being sick for a long time, because my immune system was compromised due to lack of rest. Sometimes I was able to "power through" an important project, only to get sick immediately afterward.Sound familiar? Then you need a little TLC.More often than not, you might be the one who is withholding your own self-care. Perhaps you think you should take care of everyone else FIRST, before you can take care of yourself. Perhaps you believe that you must finish all the work, before you can take a break or play. Or, perhaps deep down you don't believe that you deserve the care. Let's be honest, when will you ever be "done" with all the work and caregiving? If you do not take care of yourself now, it might cost you more than your health.It doesn't matter why you have not put self-care as a top priority. What matters is, what do you choose to do from now on? The first step is to give yourself permission to practice Intensive Self-Care. Why not write yourself an Intensive Self-Care Permission Slip? I wrote about this in my upcoming book Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others. What feeds your soul and makes your heart sing? What is one thing you can do to nurture yourself today? Go and do that.

Once a Month Cooking Made Easy

Once a month cooking is a great way to build your supply of a lot of meals ready to put on your table. It is also a way to save money of groceries. Here's the plan to follow if you are interested in doing once a month cooking.Getting Ready!Get a blank calendar and go through each day of the month and plan what meals you will have each day. Write the name of the meal at the top of each box. Under the name of the meal, list the ingredients needed. When you are done, you have the bulk of your grocery list for the month made.Now go through your calendar and create one master list to take with you to the grocery store.I have found by doing this that I end up saving a lot more money on groceries because I go into the store knowing exactly what I need and I stick to my list. I also have begun clipping coupons, which has saved me a lot of money! (More to come on how to do that in a future post!)Do your shopping for the month in one trip. Now, you still will need to go to the store for milk, eggs, bread, yogurt, ext., however, the bulk of your shopping for the month will be done.After the ShoppingNow plan a day that you will be able to get all of your meals cooked. For example, I did my cooking for the month last weekend. Since I work, I do my cooking on Saturday. I purchased all my chicken I needed for the month. I threw 15 chicken breasts into the crockpot for 10 hours. While they were cooking, I placed 18 breasts into freezer bags and placed those in the freezer.When my chicken in the crockpot was done, I shredded it and used it for three different meals that I prepared.I took 18 more breasts and chopped those into cubes for another recipe. The recipe calls for 6 cubed breasts so I ended up bagging 6 chopped breasts into a freezer bag.All of this takes time, but I'll tell you what. When I came home from work last night, I pulled the cubed breasts out, whipped together the sauce I was going to use and threw it in the oven. That cooked for 20 minutes while my rice was cooking on the stovetop. Dinner was ready in no time and I was able to spend more time with my family and less time in the kitchen.I encourage you to take the time to do once a month cooking and see how much easier your meal time prep becomes!

Drying Racks - Only The Best For Your Designer Clothes

So often I worry what is happening when I put clothes in a tumble dryer. On holiday I used one to dry towels and holiday clothing. After successive loads the filter was jammed with fibres with different layers of colours like those bottles you often see for sale with different layers of coloured sand.Clothes airers don't remove the fibres from my clothing and household items, so they do not lose their shape or their strength. I have noticed that over time continued use of a tumble dryer reduced the useful life of my clothes.Drying racks come in wall mounted, floor standing or multiway washing line versions. All drying racks dry clothes naturally or if placed above or next to a household wall heater, will have the benefit of secondary heat and warm air drying. Clothes dry naturally without the rough and tumble of being enclosed in a rotating metal drum. Eco-drying systems are energy free unlike the tumble dryer that gobbles up energy at maximum power all the time.Retractable washing lines come in multiway designs. Five washing lines, extending to 4 metres, give almost 70 feet of washing line on which to hang the laundry. Although often installed outdoors on two facing parallel walls they are also completely ideal for use indoors, for example over the bath drying.Specially designed, with the bath in mind, floor standing mini clothes dryers serve as portable clothes horses. They are absolutely ideal for drying outside on sunny days, either on a patio or anywhere in a garden. On wet or stormy days they can be used indoors in a conservatory or anywhere that is convenient.The heavy-duty versions are often used in commercial and industrial areas where towels are frequently used or in schools, universities, canteens or restaurants. The applications are endless.For me there are several key reasons for using one of the airers. Not only do I save energy, I become carbon neutral and extend the life of my designer sweaters into the bargain.

The Top Anti-Aging Wrinkle Serums Reviewed

When you think of the top anti-aging wrinkle serums most people think of two brands, which would be Obagi and Skinceuticals. The reason that most people think of these products is because they have a track record of providing people with the results that they want from a high quality product. These products are also used in professional settings, giving them the reputation that they need to be taken seriously by choosy consumers. These are just two of many brands, but their reputations proceed them, making them two of the most desirable.When you look at the list of Obagi items it can be difficult to choose just one to try. The Obagi item that people generally rave about is the Obagi Professional C-Serums. These are serums are very easy to use, relatively affordable, and provide great results. This product is full of Vitamin C which helps to heal and restore the skin in ways that other substances cannot. When you use these serums you will see that damaged skin begins to heal and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles fades. Definitely a great buy from a well known skin care product line.When it comes to choosing a serum from Skinceuticals it would have to be the Serum 15 AOX. This is a great product that will work to restore and protect healthy looking skin. The serum is meant to neutralize free radicals, protect against environmental damage, and it also helps to prevent premature signs of aging. This is another product that is very easy to use, though it can be quite costly, and is great for a wide variety of consumers including those that suffer from hyper-pigmentation, photo damaged skin, erythema, and poor skin elasticity. A truly great buy when you are looking for a serum that will help most skin problems improve.
