These days “selfcare” has become some what of a buzzword and it is popping up all over the place. And if you are anything like me, a busy mom with little to no time for yourself, you probably roll your eyes at most of the things that come across your screen. Frankly the thought of “squeezing in” a facial or mani/pedi in a quiet spa or even managing to sneak in an uninterrupted hot bath at home is laughable to say the least. Selfcare is usually not at the top of the list for moms and for many moms it is not even on the list at all. But as moms, selfcare is a necessity and it is possible to make it a priority. So here is a list of my favorite selfcare tips for moms that are actually realistic and easily applicable for the everyday moms out there struggling to prioritize themselves.
