I was provided an Aroma Sense 
Are you looking for a good way to relax and recharge after all the holiday preparation craziness? How about winding down after a long week at work or at home with the kids? I homeschool four children AND work at home in a small house so I know how stressed a mom can get. Sometimes I can’t even take a quick shower without drama!
If your toddler screams at the top of his lungs for no reason or your preteens start to argue and fight over who’s turn it is to play video games THEN you need to give one of these 5 Ways to Relax and Recharge a try.
Sip Warm Tea
Yes, something as simple as brewing a cup of your favorite herbal tea can make a difference. I use our Keurig Brewing System
Listen to Music
When is the last time YOU got to listen to your choice of music? No more sing along songs. No educational ditties. Give some relaxing classical music a try. If you don’t own a lot of music you can easily check out Amazon Prime’s 
These songs can be all yours or you can try to play them when your children are around but you might get some crazy results. Big Red, my 5 1/2 year old son, just giggles uncontrollably when I start any kind of song on my phone. This happened a few nights in a row at bedtime so I gave up sharing my music with him!
Diffuse a Pleasing Scent
Now hear me out on this one. You do not have to jump on the essential oil bandwagon with reckless abandon to enjoy a calming scent. You do no have to join an MLM or take a 2 week course. You should check to see that you purchase a therapeutic grade oil and do your research on scents that might calm you. I personally like lavender, a blend actually called Relaxation and another called Calming. I have a very simple diffuser
Curl Up with a Good Book
Again another way to relax is to venture into a world unknown. From current day Cozy Mysteries to the Classics spending some time reading can give you just enough of a break to recharge your body and soul. I for one miss the days of being able to read for hours and getting lost in some Inspirational Romance novel. I know that as my children get bigger I will have many days to read for hours at a time once again.
Take a Hot Shower
A hot shower without Spiderman bubble bath or a dozen army men at my feet sounds delightful! How about not having to share the tub with your trouble making two year old? Do you need a new shower head? Look no further then the Aroma Sense Luxury Shower Head with Vitamin C! We just tried this out last week and LOVE IT! Our five year old said, ” This shower is AWESOME! I love that thing!” I love the large shower head and how gentle it is.
I think our toddler will love it once he tries it as well. (Right now he is scared of the shower. Our old shower head was very noisy and he got scared of it about 6 months ago.)
Have you heard about Aroma Sense’s Luxury shower heads? I had not until I was given one for review and am SO glad that I was. Here’s a little bit about Aroma Sense:
The Aroma Sense large handheld vitamin c shower head is perfect for those who want all-over-body coverage. Designed with over 300 spray plate holes, this shower head is sure to provide an invigorating spa-inspired experience, enticing you with refreshing and relaxing aromatherapy in your own shower. Our Vitamin C filtration technology can effectively neutralize chlorine to support healthy skin and hair, while its microfiber filtration removes additional contaminants brought through your piping system. If you love spa jets, our laser-etched spray plate that will boost weak water pressure will give you a therapeutic shower, all while using 25% less water than a branded shower faucet. Escape into paradise with this aromatherapy & vitamin c shower head to rejuvenate your mind and body!
Missing out on three entries as the link doesn’t work for commenting on Unschooling Momma. Tried to Google it and that didn’t work either.
Oops. Sorry I copied an old giveaway and didn’t see the boo-boo. All fixed now. Please come back for daily entries!
I commented on How a Juice Box Saved my Type 1 Diabetic Son’s Life!
Thank you for the giveaway. This looks like a great showerhead & I would love to win. Hope everyone has a happy holiday season!
Thanks for another great giveaway! I would love this showerhead! Ours is so old & it’s awful, so this showerhead would be a great gift to us!
I need some relaxation. Sure would be nice to go to the spa. How about the beach even. Yeah, the beach, ahhhh.
Having this would certainly be a great way to relax and recharge. I love that it is scented and gives vitamin c. I also like that it has the large rain type showerhead.
I just used it again today and LOVE the lemon scent!
I love green tea and candles to relax! great tips here!
I totally forgot about candles. When we bought our house we didn’t have any mantles and we got a black lab within the first month so we never use candles for fear his tail would knock them over. Now we have 4 kids and kinda the same thing. Don’t want to see a toddler playing with fire! We do own some battery operated ones.
Now I really want some tea and a hot shower! 🙂 These are great tips. Thanks!
I love doing all these things to relax too! This makes me want to light a candle, sip some tea and read a book!
I think I need this in my life TODAY. Today is National Bubble Bath Day. When my daughter gets done, I’m taking a turn with my worship music on!
My go to relax and refresh is tea or take a shower too. That shower head sounds amazing, I’m gonna check it out.
Are you serious, lol? I had no idea that it was National Bubble Bath Day!
This is a fantastic list of relaxing ideas! I often forget to do simple things that I enjoy for myself. It happens to mothers because we spend so much putting other people first. Although right and good, it becomes a habit and our personal conditions *might* start to deteriorate a little. A hot shower is my go-to getaway. Not only does it massage those tight muscles in my shoulders, it also helps drown out the sounds of bickering on the other side of the door…lol!
I totally agree – personally I curl up with a book whenever I can… and tea… totally calming.
Listening to music and reading blogs really is the way I relax. I really enjoy reading books too. I’m going to start on 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership this month. I read The Fellowship earlier this month. Reading to me is food for the soul. I also really enjoy reading and listening to the Bible.
They make a diffuser for the car too! A good car ride is sometimes my sanity on hard days.

Oh, yes! I have one and had it for so long I totally forgot about it. Mine isn’t a mist version but the cotton pad. Thanks for the reminder.
I find soothing music and a warm blanket are great ways for me to relax. Maybe a cuppa something warm. but ultimately it is the quiet that is best for me.
These all sound like a wonderful way to spend a spa day at home! My birthday is coming up and I am on the lookout for fun, cheap things to do that I will enjoy.
Love these! Finding ways to relax is so important ❤️ #brillblogposts
Enjoyed your suggestions. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I could really use some relaxation right about now. (I am sipping tea as I read this so I guess I’ve already taken a step in the right direction).
These are all great ideas! I wonder if I can get them all done in one day! 🙂 I found your blog at Small Victories!
Love all of these! So lucky that you got to try that shower head… I’m a little jealous… ;P
Tweeting and pinning! #FridayFrivolity
I love this post. I have never even heard of this shower head! Sounds so neat, I am going to check it out. Thanks for sharing, I love relaxing with books and tea 🙂
Reading a good book and sipping sweet iced tea is all I need to relax. Thanks for the review.
