I work hard. Being mom and a writer amongst many other things is hard. I don't like it when life takes a toll on you and seriously, we should all have a list of things that we like to do or indulge in from time to time. And pampering myself is one of those things. I mean, guys go out racing their cars and girls stay home and stay in the bath. Hahahaha. Perfect.
First, there's the HOT BATH!! I like it reeeeaaaaallllllyyy hot. Scald me, babybae! And I like lots of foam too! I understand why kids love bubbles. I watch them pop one by one...sometimes I put it on top of my head, careful not to put some into my mouth and eyes.
And then I burn some aromatherapy for company.
Sigh....the life. If there's time, I'd scrub myself down and just sink into the hot water, letting it envelope me.
Ah! The kids can use the other toilet for emergencies. Or the kitchen sink if one is already using the second bathroom. I mean, this is totally bliss and I don't let anything interrupt this moment for anything.
When I step out, I am a new woman.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...
