It seems like everyone these days is busy, busy, busy. We’re all just running the rat race, but the pace is faster now than it has ever been. I find myself getting caught up in the day to day rush and by the end of the week I’m worn out and frustrated.  

Sometimes all a girl needs is a hot bubble bath and a fun read. This weekend I took the time and did just that. I ran to Safeway and grabbed my two favorite magazines and bottle of wine. When I got home I turned off my phone, drew a big bubble bath, and climbed in with my mags and a Sharpie. Why the Sharpie? Well I like to mark up magazines when I see fun ideas for the blog, fashion or makeup trends I love, decorating ideas etc… It drives my husband nuts but I really enjoy it. During that hour of quiet I found everything I want for Christmas, decorating tips I want to try on the house, and a new hair color I’m going to test this week. So even though I was relaxing, I still got items checked off my to-do list.

I think we all need to make a pact to take time out for ourselves more often! Who’s with me?

I definitely felt like a new woman after that hour to myself. It’s amazing how just turning off for a bit can be like hitting the reset button! If you
plan on taking a little timeout for yourself this week: SAVE $1 off your magazine purchase while supplies last through the just4u portal from 10/23/14-11/20/2014.
