Share with us some of the self-care rituals you practice:

Daily

I usually try and wake up super early before I wake my kids up for school. Waking up before everyone else allows me to have an hour or two of quiet time to meditate, recite affirmations and get much needed things done. I burn a candle everyday to set the mood as I truly believe an aroma filled room can enhance thoughts and set the way for a productive day.

At night I really get into doing my self care rituals which includes soaking in a bath filled with all natural bath salts, making sure my skin is completely moisturized, reading, journaling about my day, and planning for the next day. 

Weekly

To get some fresh air and clear my mind I walk my neighborhood trails at least 2 – 3 times a week. I detox my skin by masking with a powder mask and exfoliating with a gentle whipped body scrub every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday night. I also like to catch up on my favorite reality TV shows for a bit of amusement and laughter.

Monthly

I love going to the spa to get my eyebrows threaded by a professional as well as getting my monthly mani/pedicure. Bi-weekly I go to the hair salon to get my hair shampooed and styled which makes me feel like a new lady! 

To help de-stress monthly, I love going shopping for a few home décor items for my home. Decorating for all Holidays and the changing of seasons helps me clear my mind. 

Annually

Decluttering each year has been great for me. I start with my personal wardrobe closet, then the office and work my way through the entire house throwing away things that are no longer needed. I also plan personal and business goals at the beginning of each year. By doing this, it helps me stay on track and focused throughout each month of the year. I also like to travel with the hubby and kiddos to visit family and friends back in North Carolina. A change in atmosphere is so rewarding, I usually return back home ready to get back to work on my business.
