Working with special needs children, I often find that , at the end of the day , not only is my body tired , but my senses have been over - stimulated, too. So complete relaxation is an absolute need for me.
After a shower , I grab a cool drink with cucumber or mint and head to the back yard and my gazebo to listen to the night fall. It's the absolute best time to relax with a peel -off mask , apply a nice foot lotion, and let a deep conditioner work into my hair. It's so freeing to hear only the sounds of the cicadas, frogs, and crickets, watch the candle light flicker, and think of only my pleasure . Me, only me.
