Epsom salt

Ladies, let me tell you, the last weeks of pregnancy can be brutally hard on a body! My poor feet ache like they have never ached before, my back and hips are always sore from sitting, standing or sleeping. 

I have indulged in a wonderful way to relax several times in the past weeks and as one extremely pregnant woman, let me tell you, if there is ever a time you want to do something nice for a mother, this simple suggestion can make a world of difference in how a woman feels, after just a few moments.

When the day has been long, and my feet are tired and sore, I give them a soak with Epsom salt. It really helps to make me feel relaxed and my feet always feel better when I am finished!

Who would have thought that such a simple thing could make a woman feel so refreshed? If you ever want to make a friend or relative feel super special, let me share an idea for a pampering gift basket.

For moms who need a little “me-time”: For busy moms, give them a night off with a stack of their favorite magazines, a bottle of wine (or a box of their favorite tea), chocolates, essential oils, and a carton of Epsom salt to help soak the day away.

• Include these directions on the card: 1. Add two cups of Epsom salt to your bathwater in a standard-sized tub. 2. Soak for at least 12 minutes. 3. Feel relaxed and sleep like a baby.
