The last 15 months have been all about one Little Miss. I have forgotten all about myself in the last year and a bit. I’ve let myself go! Dare I say it? I do believe I have become a Slummy Mummy! If a gun was put to his head, my husband would probably agree. The real problem is, Little Miss doesn’t care or know any different! She has no knowledge of my former self! She likes me just the way I am (thank you Bridget Jones). This is part of why I love her so!
But, I think it’s time to reclaim a wee bit of me. Just maybe. I have a special awards ceremony to attend next week and a few exciting things in the coming weeks plus, we’re traveling back to the US in October for my brother’s wedding. I think I need a bit of pampering, don’t you? I really need a hair cut and a good soak in the bath. And boy, wouldn’t I like to have a whole afternoon to myself to read a book and focus on me? Yes! I would!
I’ve come across a solution! Radox, the shower and bath gel, has launched a “Be Selfish” campaign. They are encouraging all women to take time and have a selfish hour. They have teamed up with writer Kathy Lette who has written the novella ‘All Steamed Up’ which is a brand new, water-resistant book that women can read whilst letting off some steam in the bath.

I, for one, am really looking forward to the chance to read a WATER RESISTANT (they’re not just for kids!) book in a lovely bubble bath and block out the sounds of the house. I am blessed to have my Little Miss and my wonderful husband in my life but every once in a while, it’s nice to do something for yourself. I need to remember this…please remind me if you see me on the street in my track suit bottoms and worn fleece. At least I’ll smell nice and have smooth, soft skin!
Make a commitment to yourself! This month, take at least ONE hour a week to do something for yourself. I know I’m going to try and that’s a major accomplishment for me. Step number one…run the tap, squirt some Radox, grab my Kathy Lette water-resistant novella, ‘All Steamed Up’ and relax. What are you going to do? Please let me know and don’t forget to click on the link above to download an audiobook of ‘All Steamed Up’. Good luck ladies…let’s be selfish!
