Things are busy around here, my friends. It feels as though we have been in constant motion since the school year began, and it only stands to get busier with the holiday season just around the corner. Motherhood is always busy though. Right? There really isn't a ton of down time, and while I'm totally OK with that, I do like to find a moment here and there to myself.

Small moments to relax & rejuvenate are necessary so that I can be at my very best for my family, and for myself. There's really no denying that I am generally a kinder, more confident version of myself when I take better care of ME. I think we all are! 

I am a working mom of 3, with a husband that also works full time. Work, the kids, the house, the dog; it's a juggling act, for sure!  Realistically I can't take huge swaths of time to myself everyday, but I can easily manage to find 10 minutes. I think that's a realistic benchmark for most busy moms.

I keep a little basket stocked by my desk with small indulgences. My favorite chocolates, mints, magazines, hand cream, a nail file, nail wraps, nail polish etc. I pick up little things here and there when I stop in CVS to stock up on monthly personal care essentials such as lotion, soap, and U by Kotex® products.

This is such a simple thing to do to treat yourself! Add a few of your favorite items to a basket, and place it somewhere that's easily accessible during the day.  Then take a few moments to yourself to enjoy some of your favorite things. You deserve it!

When life gets hectic, remember to take a little time for "U" each day. Check out some fun ideas to relax & rejuvenate below.

10 Easy Ways to Relax & Rejuvenate in 10 minutes or less

• Give yourself a quick manicure. Paint your nails your favorite fall color and apply your favorite hand moisturizer. Having my nails done always puts a pep in my step!
• Flip through your favorite magazine. Enjoying a few pieces of my favorite chocolate while flipping through a good magazine always puts me in a better mood.
• Take a 10 minute walk around the neighborhood by yourself or with the kids, to break from the daily chaos.  A few minutes away from an otherwise hectic routine can be just what the doctor ordered!
• Head to a quiet corner and listen to a few songs off of your favorite play list. 
• Color! Adult coloring pages and coloring books are all the rage. Coloring is a proven stress buster - print a few free printables online or pick up a book, along with some colored pencils at your local craft store. 
• Grab a cup of your favorite tea or coffee, and head to your favorite spot to enjoy it. I love to make myself a cup of coffee and sit out on the porch and enjoy the fresh air and changing fall leaves for a few minutes. It's my little bit of zen.
• Take a few minutes to do an at-home beauty treatment such as a mud mask, or an exfoliating facial scrub. 
• Read a few pages of a good book. There's nothing like disappearing into a good book for a few minutes each day.
• Do a crossword puzzle or play your favorite app. I love doing a crossword puzzle or two on my favorite app - it's my guilty pleasure.
