All Things Relaxing, From Tea to D by Nikki Reed
Taking a moment for yourself is always important. I have always been a morning person. I sometimes set my alarm super early, before the rest of the house is awake, because I cherish my morning time alone. I sit with a cup of hot tea and get ready for the day...
Vitamin D is so important and wild fact: most Americans are D deficient. I know we’ve all been told to fear the sun, and for good reason because too much of anything can be bad, but I swear by the healing effects of sun/Vit D. I try to get 30 min of outdoor sun time every day. My trick for that is if I can, I do one conference call outside, or I try to go on a short afternoon walk with my daughter to catch the last few rays.
I definitely have a lot less time these days for luxurious bath time, but I still try and get in 1 per week. I have my favorite neck pillow that snaps around the front which helps to stretch out the tension from a heavy work week, and I just hang out with myself or my daughter in the tub for 20 minutes. We make it fun, we add in Epsom salts, lavender oil and Baeo bubbles. If I’m alone, I toss on a good podcast and just close my eyes...
