Alice In Essential Oil Land

Hey MAMA’s
I hope you are all having a great weekend? I know a lot of us are now in lockdown. I wanted to put a list together of things we can do for ourself. Even if sometimes it is with a baby on your hip. Or a baby in your belly. Or you may just be at home solo.

✨ Self Loving Ideas With A Baby Attached ✨

• Put on a face mask, while feeding baby.

• Listen to a good podcast or audible book while you jig that bub.

• Can do a post natal workout with baby in sling/carrier.

• Go for a walk outside, get some vitamin D. If you can of course.

• Have a sleep, put on a mediation track and full asleep to it.

• Epson Salt foot soak with some essential oils, can be feeding baby and watching a good tv show.

• Take a bath together. Skin on skin always gets me feeling more grounded.

• Go put your feet on the grass or sand if possible.

• Burn a candle while you do housework.

• Buy yourself some flowers, crystals or whatever you love to have in your space.

• Watch the sunset. Even if it’s through your window.

✨ Self Love Ideas (alone time) ✨

• Take an hour out for yourself doing what you love, Netflix, movie, a dance class, a solo walk, craft.

• Bath with epson salts and essential oils. Foot Soak.

• Write down what you want to be and feel like tomorrow.

• Journal Practice, use self love mantras, gratitude practice, what is working, what isn't working and why. Kmart have some great journals or self love promt style journals too.

• Home EMP workout.

• Skin Care Routine while being mindful.

• Give yourself an aromatic dressing, so grab some nice oils and carrier oil or body lotion and apply the oil over your body while repeating self love mantras.

• Have a phone call with a good friend.

• Bake a cake or something soulful.

• Put on your favourite tunes and boogie.

• Read something that you enjoy, even if it is for 10minutes.

• A good wardrobe clean out can be a great act of love for yourself. You may find some of your favourite clothes need some love again.

• Log out of social media for 24hrs. AMAZING cleanse.

I wanted to do a huge shout out to the most beautiful person, Danielle from .sacred.space ✨. On Thursday was our week 3 of the “Mama Circle” I have been attending. Wow, it’s an honour to be among these other Mother’s and their little ones.

We delve deep into learning about our Masculine and Feminine energy. We bonded, we shed tears and also had some belly laugh moments. We reflected on our motherhood journey the week before and did meditation 🧘‍♀️ welcoming the noise of the outside world and our Bubs sounds to and from our practice.

I can’t wait for next week! I am excited to be sharing some essential oil practice for our little ones and post natal care for mummas.

Honestly Danielle’s hypnobirthing workshops were eye opening and so educational when I was pregnant and I feel grateful for this post party support of her Mama Circle.
