I can't speak for the majority, but I do know that there are some women out there that grew up being taught practicality. It's a great lesson to learn, keeps you safe in a world of uncertainty. Yet what happens when we are fed up and need to relax? Women tend to be the ones that do it all. We go to work and help bring home the "bacon", clean the house, wash the clothes, cook the food, etc. And you know what? That's okay. If that's what you choose, good for you. Women have the right to choose this. But what I had to learn was that it's okay to, also, choose relaxation.
What do I mean? I mean that a bath bomb here and there, a new hair cut, or getting your nails done; all these things are completely fine to treat yourself to. Women are often taught self sacrifice. We are taught, through the actions of our mothers, to do for others before ourselves. This is noble, humble even. But don't forget to take care of yourself once in a while. Let yourself soak in a bath for a half hour and get all pruned up. Let yourself take an hour and have a nail appointment. Allow yourself to be pampered. It's okay. It's good. It's not practical, but that's okay.
Sorry about the randomness, this isn't a review (obviously). But I just needed to say it. See you soon with Part 3 of the Bath Bomb Reviews!
