Smom's Lifestyle: Do you listen to your body and know when to slow down ?

 




Do you listen to your body and know when to slow down at night?

Listening to your body and knowing when to slow down or take a break can be paying attention to those little signals your body sends you- even when you still have a lot left to do.

Maybe it's that slight tension in your shoulders, the fatigue that lingers a bit too long, or even just the feeling that you need a moment of quiet. You may be a bit short tempered or your mood just feels off.

As busy women, it’s too easy to push through these signs, and keep doing more but your emotional and physical energy depends on whether you take care of yourself. Whether you get the kind of sleep you need.

We are living through times where we have to have a marathon mindset. And marathons are won slow, but steady. So when you need to rest and disconnect. Listen to your body and so just that.

When you feel the need to slow down, but still have more to do or feel like you can’t…

Remember that you can’t help or be there for anyone until you help yourself. It’s giving yourself the ability to pour from your overflow, not a place of feeling depleted.

Remember, perfection is impossible, but progress is made piece by PEACE. Progress is always within reach. Let go of the pressure to finish everything in one day. Keep the faith. Be courageous. Do what’s right by people. Good will ALWAYS prevail… despite the circumstances.

Smom's Lifestyle: Lotion isn’t locking in moisture—it’s just sitting on top

 



Lotion isn’t locking in moisture—it’s just sitting on top


Have dry itchy skin or eczema and are slathering on lotion like nobody's business, and for a little while, your skin feels kind of "moist".



But before you know it, that dry, tight feeling creeps back. You reapply. Again and again. And still—, your skin feels just as dry as before.



The problem?

Lotion isn’t locking in moisture—it’s just sitting on top. If your skin is ashy or constantly dry and itchy , it’s a sign that something deeper is going on.

Fixing this doesn’t have to be complicated.

Switching to a natural, plant soap from Smom's Lifestyle that cleanses without stripping can make all the difference—helping your skin hold onto more of the moisture that's always being removed from the other soaps.

After cleansing with our triple oil based soap bar , your skin is actually going to be ready to absorb the moisture from the oils and lotion.

A good natural soap, such as our Oats, Milk, and Honey will help repair your dry itchy skin barrier, so moisture isn’t just sitting on your skin—it’s sinking in, moisturizing , and healing deeper.

When your dry itchy skin is cared for from the soaps your using, lotion becomes a boost, not a temporary fix.

Smom's Lifestyle: The Truth About Ashy & Dry Itchy Skin- Why Your Skin Needs More Than Just Lotion




 The Truth About Ashy or Dry Itchy Skin- Why Your Skin Needs More Than Just Lotion




It's still cold outside. And the cold isn't kind toward us who already have dry skin.


Do you ever feel like no matter how much lotion you use, your skin still feels dry and looks ashy?


It can be so annoying, I know. That constant dry itchy skin feeling... ESPECIALLY on your hands!


That's because its the part of your body that you're constantly washing all day long- and causing you to lose even more of the moisture and oils in your skin.



DRY SKIN OR ECZEMA TIP:

When your skin feels rough or looks ashy, it often needs nourishing ingredients that can soak in and really help. Look for products with natural oils and butters—avocado oil, olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil ...they can make a world of difference!

Smom's Lifestyle: How the Simple Act of Lathering Up With Shave Soap Can Help You Find Peace


                     Pictured- Pumpkin Spice, Apple Harvest, and Oats, Milk, & Honey Natural Soap



LATHER. CLEANSE. REFRESH. REPEAT. 


Shop seasonal, natural soaps for bath and shaving  @ smomslife.com

When things feel like they are up in the air, it’s often the simplest things that help us regain a sense of calm.


And right now, WE ALL need a little sense of calm. 😌


One of the easiest ways to ground yourself is by using your sense of touch.


Think about this:
You step into the shower, and as you lather up your soap, you feel the creamy, luxurious texture of our natural soap gliding over your skin. The soothing scent fills the air, and for a moment, everything slows down.


This small act of touch—feeling the smooth lather, the warmth of the water—can help reduce anxiety and create a peaceful moment for yourself.


Taking time for a mindful bath or shower helps you reconnect with the present moment, leaving stress behind and creating space for relaxation. It’s in these quiet, simple routines that we can find comfort and feel more ground-present.

Our natural soaps are crafted to do more than only deep cleanse, refresh, and lather well —they nurture your skin and calm your senses too.


Each lather is a gentle reminder to breathe, relax, and take care of yourself. As I often remind myself- Surrender control, Allow good things to happen, and Be present in the moment you're in (S.A.B).


Take a moment to experience this for yourself- feeling more grounded.


Feel the soothing touch of our natural soaps, and let your daily routine become a practice of peace.



Until next time, color your thoughts- Beautiful.

With love and self-care,

Jessica
