Time to Unwind
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time….Take a moment and REALLY think about this quote. I stumbled upon this quote by Marthe Troly-Curtin, which resonated with me, and I'm sure many others can relate. I struggle with a syndrome called "ants in your pants" Well, that's what my fiancé calls it. For the life of me, I cannot stay still. I always find myself doing something. If it's not cooking, it's cleaning. If it's not doing the laundry, it's taking out the trash or walking the dog. Not to mention, my 9 am-5 pm, because the bills have to be paid. Even typing this out gives me anxiety, but guess what- I can't stop because I feel guilty when things are not done or out of order. Do you know what the scary thing is? I grew up watching my mother doing the same thing and vowed it would never happen to me. But here I am now; I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
I decided I needed a break from it all for my well-being and mental health. So my sister and I planned a spa day for my mother's birthday, just us girls taking a much-needed break. We ditched the laundry, dishes, and cooking for a jacuzzi, sauna and massages. Heck! We even had little robots take our orders and bring us milkshakes. So, to commemorate this unforgettable spa day, I created the Blue Harmony Box. Filled with items to calm the mind and relax the body because you need to waste some time on yourself; you deserve it.
