Shower Steamers


If you're a big fan of showers, plus love aromatherapy, than shower steamers are a must-have.  So quick and simple to make, and the benefits are pretty amazing too.  While showering and doing whatever it is that you're doing in the shower, you can easily multi-task and take on a mind blowing aromatherapy treatment.  I love lavender for relaxing, and eucalyptus when I'm feeling ill.  How about lemongrass for an early morning pick-me-up, or perhaps, just because you want your bathroom to smell like flowers as you're showering. 

My homemade steamers (lemongrass, cucumber melon, and lavender).  I keep mine in a sealed tight bag until they are ready to be used.  This ensures the scent is locked in. 
Because the steamers can be somewhat pricey in the stores, maybe consider making them at home for pennies.  Here are a few options, that offer a variety of scent concoctions, and a little creativity too if interested!

Or shop this cool set from Urban Outfitters, if you're not mentally prepared to take on this project.  I'm only suggesting this particular item because I own it, and love it.  It feels super natural, and the steamers are cute and smell amazing too.  The price, $14.  UO changes up their selections in their beauty department quite often, and pretty quickly, so not sure how long these will last!

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...

Lemon Balm, Fresh Herb to Try

I use this fresh green herb in cleaning and beauty products.  It's packed with antioxidant properties that can relieve everything from a head cold to indigestion.  This green herb has a beautiful subtle fragrance that can be served in a beverage, mixed into a food dish, and of course brewed for an herbal tea.  For the home; try tossing a few leaves in the toilet, or creating a combo of other flowers and herbs for potpourri or bath sachets to add a zing of freshness to the bathroom.  This herb can also be mixed into a shampoo or conditioner, facial cleanser, or body spray.  Another option is to just toss a few sprigs into the bath water for an herbal body cleanse. Consider growing your own lemon balm in your outdoor (or indoor) garden), or purchase dry lemon balm from the store.  It's reasonably priced, so it will be well worth the little money with all of the uses you will find.  Check...
