Since we hear so much about self care lately, I think it’s made all of us asses how well we are really taking care of ourselves. This doubles is we’re busy moms. It’s really incredible how quickly we can experience mom burnout if we aren’t just taking a few minutes a day to do something that helps to center us. But of course, when we have little people and big people and houses and jobs, it can be hard to take that time. This is where essential oils for self care come in. It takes literally no time to throw a few drops of essential oils into your diffuser while you are getting ready for the day or in the evening for bed. You can also put them directly on your skin or blends them and apply like perfume on your body. The options are endless and the impact on your life is great.
