Disclosure: I was asked to participate in the #EverydayLuminous campaign, sponsored by Softsoap at Walgreens. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.
I will admit freely, and it will be no shock to you or anyone, that I devour products, tips and tricks about how to indulge “me time” as well as to improve healthy living. A couple weeks ago, I was asked to work on another beauty campaign from the Walgreens team. This time they would like me to share my daily routine or what I do to relax with my readers.
Sometimes, things may not go as planned. I had originally written a post to share my daily routine with you but with an unexpected turn of events that had just happened and unfolded I decided to share how I shook those worries off.
You see, a couple nights ago, one of my twins, Alexander, slipped and hit the bathtub while taking a bath. That accident left a big gash on his chin with heavy bleeding. He was crying and inconsolable. That incident shook me to my core. To make matters worse, the other twin was scared and cried hysterically. As my luck would have it, hubby wasn’t home at the time.
While drenched in blood I took the twins to the hospital to seek immediate medical help on my own. Four hours later Alexander walked out the ER with 3 stitches and half asleep. Naturally, we were all tired, exhausted and sleepy. Above all, I was extremely worried during the entire ordeal.
As I made my way home from the hospital, I was reminded how fortunate I am to learn the incident wasn’t as devastating as I had initially thought. When you are on your own in such a state everything seemed 10 times worse that it really was. Because when you are on your own you are emotionally drained, dependent, and lost.
After placing both the twins to bed I immediately jumped in the shower and lathered myself with Softsoap Luminous Oils Infused body wash in Avocado Oil & Iris to wash away the worry. The fragrance from the bodywash calmed my nerves and eventually helped me sleep soundly and peacefully that night.
The next night was even better. Alexander was feeling like himself again (he now thinks he looks cool with those stitches!) and also hubby came home. He suggested that I should take a bubble bath instead of a shower. With his advice, I filled the tub with a few drops of Softsoap Luminous Oils Infused body wash in Macadamia Oil & Poeny scent this time.
Wow, so glad that I took his advice! What a difference a bath made! It was pure indulgent and perfect for relaxing after such shocking incident.
As cliché as it sounds, a bath with the right bubbles like Softsoap Luminous Oils body wash can help calm and melt away your nerves, your worries, your fears, and your anxieties.
