Happy Mama

Do you ever forget to shower, or is that just me?  Like the other night when I sat down to write this post (about my shower soap), I realized I should probably go shower.  I mean, I usually don't show up places unshowered (thank goodness!), but when I'm at home I just get busy with getting the baby to sleep, finishing up the dishes, washing the cloth diapers, and a million other things.  Its easy to forget about my own needs, even the most basic ones, until I get to a point where I'm really stressed out and tired.

Like I mentioned earlier this week, lately one of my goals has been to get enough rest and take care of myself.  Which probably includes showering....  which is the point of this post... to tell you about my Happy Mama Body Wash.

I love this stuff!  If you haven't noticed, I recently put up an affiliate button for Earth Mama Angel Baby® .  I did that because I absolutely love their products.  I love that they are zero rated in the cosmetics database, contain no yucky toxins, and just all around great.  My bathroom cupboard holds quite a few Earth Mama Angel Baby products.

I've been using the Happy Mama Body Wash for about a month now and really like it.  I even told my husband to keep his hands off my special soap.  Actually I told him he could try it and if he really loved it he could use some, but otherwise he should leave it for me.  ;)  The body wash smells like ginger and is nice and refreshing.

If you have even less time but are feeling frazzled, try the Happy Mama Spray for a quick pick me up.  The ginger and lime can help lift your mood and encourage you.  I've loved trying out this product lately as well.  You really can't go wrong with any of the Earth Mama Angel Baby products.

Want to win a bottle of Happy Mama Body Wash?  Leave a comment letting me know what your favorite quick pick me up activity is for when you are feeling frazzled.  Prize can only be mailed to US and Canadian residents.  I'll close the giveaway on February 4th at midnight.  Want an extra entry?  Share the giveaway somehow (blog, facebook, etc) and leave a second comment letting me know you did so.  Be sure to leave your email address or enable it on your profile so that I can contact you.  Thanks for stopping by.  I'm off to go shower...

I received Happy Mama Body Wash and Happy Mama Spray for review. All opinions are my own. If you choose to make a purchase, clicking through the Earth Mama Angel Baby link in this post or button on my sidebar helps support my blog. Thanks!

    My pick me up is a nice cup of tea while the younger two are napping and my oldest doing his school work.

    When things get crazy, I drop everything, pick up my Munchkin, pop in Praise Baby, and we rock together. It calms me down, focuses my thoughts, and reminds me that in all the crazy, he is most important. He seems to always know when Mommy needs some cuddle time. ...we have had a lot of that this week!

    I like to make some sweet tea and sit down to knit or crochet something that is quick and satisfying.

    My favorite pick me up is music. Right now it's my Christy Nockels CD that a very sweet lady I met at MOPS gave to me. :)

    My favorite quick pick-me-up is a Dr. Pepper...with ice from a fountain (no cans or bottles for me) :o) When my day has been especially trying, I call my husband and he stops on his way home from work to get me one. Love him! :o)

    Any hot drink in a nice mug can help almost anything. But it works even faster if I can drink it while reading encouraging blogs like yours!

    My best pick me up is sitting down and reading a good book!

    When I get all frazzled and need a break I read. Whether its one of my books or reading my son one of his Johnny tractor books its good. It allows me to sit and not worry about anything else.

    Quick pick me up? If it's in the evening and the kids are in bed a good bubble bath does the trick...put if we're talking just a *20 second pick me up* then I love putting on some Burt's bees lip balm, drinking a cup of coffee with half and half and turbinando sugar. :)

    When I'm feeling frazzled and need a pick me up, it is time to create something crafty or read a book!

    My favorite pick-me-up is sitting on the couch, reading a chapter in my current favorite book, drinking a DietCoke, and eating a granola bar.
