5 Ways Moms Can Pamper Themselves This Mother’s Day

Cliché as it may sound, moms really do make the world go ‘round. They didn’t just give us life, they make it worth living. They juggle so many things at a time without spending much time on themselves. That’s why Mother’s Day shouldn’t be a throw-away holiday, it should be a day moms and all the women who’ve helped raise others actually feel honored and appreciated. And get a break! So here are five ways to spend Mother’s Day without worrying about a single responsibility. 

Book a Staycation

Traveling when you have kids takes a lot of scheduling and preparation. Don’t add more work to your load, keep it simple and find a hotel in your area for a night away all by yourself. Order room service, watch your favorite show in peace, and (best of all) sleep in. 

Head to The Spa

Can’t get away? Give yourself a mental vacation by treating yourself to a day at the spa. While you’re there, book a massage, spend time soaking in the jacuzzi, and bliss out in the sauna without a care in the world. 

Spend The Day at The Beach

The beach by yourself > the beach with kids. Ditch the wagon full of sand toys and opt for a day filled with sunbathing, catching up on a good book, and napping in the warm sand. Even better, it’s free! You don’t have to spend a lot to give yourself a relaxing day. 

Don’t Do Anything At All

If planning another thing feels like just another chore, feel free to completely opt out. Take the day to yourself to do nothing. Maybe that looks like taking a nap and picking up that book you forgot about, maybe it’s a bath and getting your favorite meal delivered. The key is to get out of the driver's seat for just one day.

Support Other Moms

Unfortunately, not all moms get the opportunity to treat themselves or spend the day with their loved ones. This Mother’s Day, we’ll be supporting National Bailout and their #FreeBlackMamas campaign to free as many Black Mamas and caregivers as possible to spend Mother’s Day with their families — where they belong. To get involved, head to their website to make a donation. 

We hope you can find a way to take care of yourself and celebrate motherhood this Mother’s Day!
