Self-Care for Supermums: 5 Quick Pampering Ideas You Can Do at Home

Busy mums, we know how hectic life can get. Balancing a million things at once can leave you feeling drained and in need of some TLC. That's why we've compiled a list of 5 easy ways to pamper yourself at home when you're short on time but in desperate need of some relaxation.

Relax and Refresh with an Easy At-Home Face Steam

Treat yourself to a little luxury with a soothing face steam. Simply add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to a bowl of hot water, place a damp towel over your head and inhale the fragrant steam for 10 minutes. For a refreshing pick-me-up, we recommend peppermint essential oil from Neal's Yard Remedies, while lemon essential oil will leave you feeling revitalised and uplifted. Get your hands on Neal's Yard Remedies peppermint essential oil and organic lemon essential oil for the ultimate at-home pampering experience.

Glowing Skin in Just 10 Minutes

If you only have 10 minutes to spare, then treat yourself to a quick and easy face mask. Our favourite is the award-winning Cookies N Clean whipped clay pore detox face mask from Fenty Beauty. Infused with salicylic acid and charcoal, this luxurious mask will leave your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and glowing.

Unwind and De-Stress with a Soothing Hot Bath

When you're able to carve out a little more time for yourself, indulge in a relaxing hot bath complete with candles to set the mood. We highly recommend Cowshed's Sleep range from John Lewis for the ultimate pampering experience. Soak in their calming bath salts, infused with a bespoke blend of Melissa and Lemon Myrtle essential oils to relieve tension and promote relaxation. Not only will this leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, but the therapeutic Himalayan Sea Salts will also leave your skin feeling silky smooth.

Show Yourself Some Love: Try Love-Kindness Meditation

Mental well-being is just as important as physical well-being, which is why we recommend taking a few minutes to practice love-kindness meditation. Show yourself some appreciation and love, reminding yourself just how amazing you truly are. You can start with just five minutes and build up from there. Close your eyes, put on some calming music, or follow a guided meditation like the one found on this link from YouTube.

Nourish Your Body with a Delicious Smoothie

Lastly, ensure that you're taking care of your body from the inside out by nourishing it with some delicious vitamins. Our go-to is a quick and easy smoothie recipe made with frozen blueberries, mangoes, bananas, and peaches blended with your choice of milk and a teaspoon of honey. For an extra boost, add a teaspoon of chia seeds to keep you feeling energised and ready to tackle whatever the day throws at you.
