You need a "Time Out"

Today I was inspired to address an issue that I hold close to my heart which I seldom call "NO TIME!" As I stood on line at the local supermarket checking out, I noticed a woman with two small children struggling to load groceries, keep her screaming kids at bay and check out. Does this sound all too familiar? Well to me it does and too often women are consumed with our daily chores to take a moment for ourselves. What truly caught my eye was the roots and grey hair that was draining this beautiful moms look, it broke my heart and this is a common problem that I see way too often!

As a busy mother of two I know how difficult it is to find the time and money to keep yourself looking good, here are some creative ways to help you find the time and the money!

• Phone a friend- exchange an hour or so with another mom by babysitting for each other. (and do something nice for yourself)
• Exchange gift cards with other moms- not everyone likes or uses the same thing and many gift cards simply go to waste!
• Call your local beauty school and book a service with a senior student; they are usually closely supervised, a great way to save money and still treat yourself!
• Barter with other moms for services or business exchanges; this is a fun way to get and give what you need without spending a dime.
• If you can't afford to go to a salon for color; cover your grey with one of my over the counter recommendations.
• Give yourself the gift of time, you are worthy.

Best Wishes!
