Got 10 minutes?

29 Apr, 2016
Got 10 minutes?

Got 10 minutes?

So you spend about 1,430 minutes a day feeding baby, changing baby, bathing baby, and entertaining baby. We say it’s time to reward yourself with just 10 minutes. You need ideas on how to spend your precious "me" time? Check out our list of 10.
#1 Call your best friend

#1 Call your best friend

To catch up, gossip, or just… vent. Let’s admit it, some things can only be shared with your bestie at a certain time. And this time has to be NOW!
#2 Write a love-note

#2 Write a love-note

For the man you married. Remind him how awesome he is and how much you adore him. This will not only make him feel appreciated, but may also remind you that you’re not alone in this
#3 Shop

#3 Shop

That’s why online shopping was invented! For mums who can’t get out to the stores. Get your lust-list out, and grab that sexy pair of stilettos you’ve been eyeing for 9 months (you can finally wear them!)
#4 Apply a face mask

#4 Apply a face mask

Pamper your face. The rest of you can wait… for another day. Lather on a mix of yoghurt, oatmeal and honey. It’ll rejuvenate and cleanse your face. With all the baby puree and barf on you most of the time, this may possibly be the cleanest you’ve felt in a long time!
#5 Have dessert

#5 Have dessert

Indulge in a molten lava cake or get your spoon into a pint of Magnolia ice-cream. This is your time to make yourself happy - and dessert is always the answer.
#6 Turn on the radio

#6 Turn on the radio

And just tune in and shut every other sound out. Aaaah bliss!
#7 Get a bubble bath

#7 Get a bubble bath

Your man can prepare this for you. After weeks of jumping in and out of the shower (probably beating any world record for the quickest shower taken), you must have forgotten what a BATH feels like. Soak in… and just relax.
#8 Watch a snippet of Ellen

#8 Watch a snippet of Ellen

Grab a chair, get onto YouTube and find the one with Channing Tatum. It will be the most entertaining 10 minutes of your day!
#9 Hug your hubby

#9 Hug your hubby

Yes, this can be therapeutic for both you and him. In the chaos of it all, you should stop and stand still with him in your arms. Best. Feeling. Ever.
#10 Light an aromatherapy candle…

#10 Light an aromatherapy candle…

and breathe. You’ve done well with this motherhood thing!
