Please note, I get small commissions for purchases made through links in this post. However, all opinions are mine!
Friends, we all have someone(s) in our lives who dedicates themselves to supporting us. These people always put aside their own desires and needs in favor of our own.
For me, these people are my parents. My mother is a chemist by training. Yet she gave up the job she loved to homeschool four (yes, four!) young children. She patiently taught us from kindergarten all the way through high school to college.
My mother and my father both postponed their personal goals to take care of us and give us the best chance we could have at a great future.
Finally, a couple years ago, my parents decided to take care of themselves for a change. They began designing and building their dream home. And it is now near completion! I am so proud of them for how hard they worked to get here and the sacrifices they made.
As a symbol of gratitude for all they have done for me and how they continue to support me in every way, I am sending my parents a gift to remind them to take the time out of their busy schedules to take care of themselves too.
I think these Soothing Milk Bath Salts with lavender, lemon, and chamomile are the perfect way to do just that.
The lavender, chamomile, dried coconut milk, and magnesium salts are so soothing for sore muscles. Meanwhile the lemon oil adds pep and energy to the bath.
And all wrapped up in a sweet jar that tells them I am thinking of them!
How about you? Do you know anyone who needs a reminder to take care of themselves? My guess is you do.
We all have someone special in our lives who dedicates themselves to others before helping themselves.
Or perhaps that person is you! Maybe you run yourself ragged trying to make sure everyone else is ok in your life, never sparing a thought for yourself.
If that is the case, this is your reminder to set aside some time every day, week, or even month for some “me” time. Seriously, you deserve it.
Whether these Soothing Milk Bath Salts are for you or for someone you love who just needs a reminder to self-indulge sometimes, enjoy them!
