Mommy ME Time

"Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love." ~Mildred B. Vermont

I love that quote…No need to say that being a mom is a really tough job. It’s an all around job that makes you a doctor, janitress, teacher, cook, plumber and all the jobs you can think of when inside the house. Also, once you become a mom, expect that having an 8-10 hour sleep is already a luxury.

All of these, however, are all worth it when you see the smile from your little angel and when you have that kiss and hug from your precious one…ohhh! Priceless..

Having said that we also have to realize that being a mom should not hinder you on taking care of yourself. As a matter of fact, I believe that when you become a mom.. that’s the time that you should take care of yourself more and avoid being a “losyang”.. Admit it! For us mom, it’s a compliment when you hear your friends say “oh wow! You’re a hot mom”.. well, you don’t have to wear skimpy clothes to receive comments like that but what’s important is you reflect how beautiful you are beautiful inside and out.

Here are some of the things I do to take care of my NEEDS and WANTS:
* I allot time to reflect and have a quiet moment. Through that I am able to assess how am I doing as a mom and as an individual

* Have time with my girl friends..some quality time of silliness and fun boosts my sense of humor and gives me more reason to laugh and reminds me not to take life too seriously

* Eat well and exercise - I love running..it's the cheapest form of exercise..no machines nor annual membership needed.. you also get to breath fresh air..I join various Fun Runs and I never miss Run United since it started.. (that's my favorite run because they are very generous in giving freebies..=) )

* don't forget to take your vitamins.. with all that tasks a mother has to do..you will definitely need some energy booster.. In my case, I drink Athena every night and I always take Myra 400-E, Enervon and Calcium in the morning..

* Pamper yourself- I love having a massage after a stressful day and I also have my own beauty routine..always...(don't forget!) put a moisturizer.. I love Myra-E's liquid foundation and their lotions..the secret is always moiturize

* Travel and try new things .. Just live life to the fullest

I love being a mom.. and I love my individuality as well.. so to all the moms out there.. I salute you and I encourage you to embrace life and love yourself too.. you deserve that pampering too
