One of my favorite quotes is " Sometimes the best thing you can do is just relax."


And friends, last night I had to do JUST THAT, just relax. I say all that to say, as you enter into this weekend: check in with yourself, do what you feel is right for you in that moment, take time to nurture and nourish that beautiful person standing in YOUR SKIN, and be present in the moment.







No trying to squeeze dry sponges, no pouring from empty cups, and no serving cereal with LEMONS. 🀣


Not really, but... you get the point. πŸ˜‰ So, make the time this weekend to recharge and rejuvenate YOURSELF.



Until next time, color your thoughts... beautiful!

Smom's Lifestyle: Shower in Pink- Pink Plumeria Power! It's Soap for Breast Cancer Awareness

 

πŸ‘‰ SHOP NOW



As we enter the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to use this as a moment to give you, SMOM (Strong Mamas and Woman On a Mission) a gentle reminder to prioritize your own health and well-being.

Self-care can be a huge part of every woman's journey, but it starts with a decision. I know that you often times find yourself busy taking care of everyone else, and trust me... so do I. But, I also often remind myself to take care of me too. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Today, keep this self care and resilience affirmation in mind:

"I am worthy of self-care. By taking care of myself, I am better equipped to care for the ones I love."




Every day as you shower or bathe with Plumeria Loofa Soap, THINK PINK

This is your gentle nudge from Smom's Lifestyle to YOU... you matter too! So, take care of you, too. 

Pink Plumeria Power: Soap for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

 


Know This...

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."

Just as you tirelessly care for others, this verse reminds you to also tend to your own needs and well-being. It's a gentle nudge... your reminder to find a balance between giving and receiving, reminding you that self-care is not an act of selfishness, but a necessary part of cherishing the precious gift of your body. 


By dedicating time to self-care for the phenomenal woman that you are, you in return are also thanking God, respecting the sacredness within you, and replenishing your own strength to continue the compassionate work you do everyday for those around you with even more grace and resilience.







Remember this…

As we enter the busiest time of the year, the holiday season in November and December, it will be easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about your own health. However, take the time today to schedule your annual check-ups with your doctor, OBGYN, and midwives before the end of 2023... if you have not already done so. πŸ˜‰Investing in your health is a gift to yourself and those you love.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, try our Hawaiian Pink Soap created by Maui Bath Co. made with natural ingredients including coconut oil, kukui oil, and plumeria oils. Plumeria is known to symbolize birth, love, and new beginnings. Remember, self-care is not a selfish act; it's a selfless action... repeated over, and over, and over again. Here's a quote to keep in mind:


"Remember to pour into yourself first, so that you can give to the ones you love from your overflow."



Take this Breast Cancer Awareness Month as an opportunity to prioritize your health and well-being, ensuring you can continue to be there for your loved ones in the busiest times of the year and more.


Until next time, color your thoughts… beautiful 😘

Make it a Combo- Ambition with a Side of Self Care






Shop self care, handcrafted bath products and self care affirmations for boho desktop wallpapers at smomslife.com to help you nourish your mind, body and soul.



Have a NOURISHING Monday!



Make it a Combo- Ambition with a Side of Self Care

Start your week with enthusiasm and purpose. As you rise to meet the day, envision your goals and aspirations, and believe in the potential of the week ahead. Dream big, set your intentions, and take confident steps toward turning those dreams into reality. With determination and optimism, Monday can become a launchpad for your biggest dreams and accomplishments.

However, dreaming big or thinking big is connected to self care. One simple self-care practice is to dedicate moments of stillness and reflection each day. Find a peaceful space where you can center your thoughts, release stress, and focus on your dreams. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to be present in the moment.

As you embark on your journey towards your aspirations, remember Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This verse reminds you of your ability to achieve your dreams with faith and determination.

When you decide to put your foot on the gas without time for self care though, it's like planting a garden without tending to the soil.

While ambition is essential, it's equally vital to nourish your well-being.

Until next time, color your thoughts... beautiful 😘

Self care and Music: 


"Let the music take your soul where your body needs to be nurtured."





Playing your favorite calming music during a bath or shower is a way to  nourish yourself. Music therapy and self-care.

This process of self-care is not selfish. Don’t feel guilty for prioritizing your own well-being too.  



Instead, remind yourself that it’s an action of self-preservation. By replenishing your own physical and emotional reserves, you gain the strength and balance needed to continue caring for those you love more effectively and empathetically. 






In essence, you realize that by nurturing yourself, you actually become better equipped to pour your best self into the lives of those you care for, have the energy and stamina to work toward your goals and dreams with more clarity, and ultimately have more balance in your life.

Overcome Fear, and Embrace Those Blessings


Growing resilience doesn't eliminate fear, but it empowers you to fear less. It's time to step out, stop overthinking, and pursue your dreams. Make time for self-care, believe in your abilities, and know that God is with you. You are not alone in this journey. Go boldly because you are already capable- it's time to get your blessings!


Today is your chance to start this week with renewed strength and perspective. It's not about being completely fearless but rather about learning to fear less.



 When things pop up as a challenge toward your goals - your mission, remember that it is serving as an opportunity for you to bloom with courage. Continue moving forward. You will never have all the answers and you will experience feelings of discomfort, uncertainty, and fear.






 Get comfortable with being uncomfortable- despite the fears that may linger in your mind. It’s time to break past that wall that you have been stuck at because your blessings are on the other side of it. 


God wants you to believe in Him and trust that He’s got you.  Embrace these new beginnings with faith, understanding that it's normal to have some fears and uncertainties, but it's the act of facing them that leads you to growth, progression, and ultimately receiving the blessings waiting for you to make your move.


 So, on this Monday and every one that follows, seize the opportunity to move forward with determination and a little less fear, knowing that you are capable of facing whatever comes your way. 


Until next time, color your thoughts… beautiful 😘

The Sound of Resilience

 




Visit smomslife.com for a collection of calming self-care products to help you nurture yourself in all aspects. MIND. BODY. SOUL.


Welcome back to Mama Chronicles!


Let’s recap what happened last week with Michelle-

Michelle, a dedicated nurse for a decade, comforted countless patients with her tender care. Yet, beneath her smiles lay a hidden passion for music, a melody she had deferred. With her 38th birthday approaching, she stood at a crossroads, yearning to heed the call of her long-suppressed dreams and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Now, that you're caught up... let's get into it!

Part 1
The Sound of Resilience

As Michelle stood on the edge of a major change in her life, she felt the heavy burden of her unspoken dreams weighing her down. The idea of starting fresh, of taking a different path away from the familiar world of medicine, was really scary. Doubt crept in like long shadows, and fear whispered its unsettling warnings.

But Michelle had reached a point in her life where she could no longer be content with being discontent. She was not going to easily give up.

She had been a nurse for ten years, comforting people when they were in pain, even during the darkest hours of the night. Her kindness and desire to help others were strong, but her passion to go after her own dream became stronger.

With strong determination, Michelle decided to face her fear directly. She started by finding bits of time in her busy nursing schedule to bring her long-held dreams of music back to life.

Late nights and early mornings became her special time, a place where the songs she had kept hidden for so long could finally be heard.

Chasing her music dream came with its own set of challenges. Balancing her nursing job with singing lessons was really tough and demanded a lot of time and effort. Many nights, she was exhausted, but her love for music kept her going. It was that mixed with her faith in God and a bit of self-care that kept her moving... It kept her resilient...
