The Black Women's Guide to What's Hot Now!

 

Holly Robinson Peete: “Every woman deserves to give herself a break to indulge in the little things.”

TIP THREE: Schedule a "Tea" Time

Studies show that taking even a two minute break from your hectic schedule can reduce stress levels.  Try this trick to add some relaxation to your daily grind.  Instead of rushing through lunch, schedule a leisurely tea time for yourself complete with mini tea sandwiches and a cup of chamomile tea.  Then get settled in a quiet part of your home or office -- free of distractions -- to start your summer reading list. 

TIP FOUR: Love, Me

Send yourself some flowers -- especially if you already need to swing by the florist to pick up flowers for a wedding or baby shower.  Seasonal summer flowers, such as lavender and sweet pea, are a budget-friendly way to pamper yourself and brighten up your home.

TIP FIVE: Shower Yourself Beautiful Every Day

Trade in your daily shower for a relaxing bath that's fit for a queen!  Transform your bathroom into a private sanctuary by lighting an aromatherapy-inspired candle and playing your favorite tunes.  Be sure to use Suave Naturals Lavender Vanilla Calming Body Wash.  The soothing scent of lavender will calm your senses and transport your mind to a tranquil oasis.
