Quick & easy tips to help mums stay young

Whether you’ve had one, two or ten kids, there’s no denying that they can make you feel old. Especially when they begin attending school, or worse, when they start to drive. It can be easy to get caught up in the role of motherhood and putting your kids first, but sometimes this can lead to unnecessary stress and premature ageing. So to make sure all you mums out there are keeping your sanity, here’s a few tips to keep you feeling and looking as young as you are.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG TIP #1– DON’T give into the greys
The urge to skip your monthly salon visit can become greater when you’re busy running around after your kids, but do try your hardest to keep it scheduled in. Even if grey hairs aren’t so much of a concern yet, the hour or two that you’ll have to yourself will be more than worth it. If salon trips aren’t in your budget, invite one of your girlfriends around for some drinks and a hair dying session. You can swap and dye each other’s hair using an at-home kit like Schwarzkopf Colour Mask.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG TIP #2 – DO play with your kids
Instead of sending your kids outside to play so that you can stay in and mop the floors, go and play with them. Being playful and acting young can dramatically reduce stress levels and improve your ability to solve problems. Dr. Adam Fraser, evian Live Young expert and leading human performance researcher says, “Play is defined as anything we do for the sake of it. It’s about enjoying the pleasure of doing the task without focusing so much on the outcome. Playing is not only critical for the development of the brain but also its health, as play stimulates our pre frontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls executive function.”
HOW TO STAY YOUNG TIP #3 – DON’T be a slave to the kitchen
We all want to eat healthy and make sure our kids are getting the right nutrients, but that doesn’t mean you should be slaving away in the kitchen every single night, stressing over trips to the supermarket and recipes. Sometimes frozen vegies and a barbeque chook from the shops just has to cut it.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG TIP #4 – DO find a good babysitter
While staying in to watch Finding Nemo and going to bed at nine may be your idea of a perfect Saturday night, it’s important to still be social every now and then. Having a trustworthy babysitter on call for date nights with the hubby or drinks with the girls, will mean that you can go out, have fun and feel young again without worrying (too much) about the kids.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG TIP #5 – DON’T forget about your own hobbies
Whether you like to read, paint, bake, make scrapbooks or play piano, make sure you still make time for the things you love. Set aside a time each week where you can indulge in your favourite hobby. Or if it’s an activity that you can teach your kids or share with them, try doing them together.

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

Great tips. I find it is so important to have some 'me' time every week for a pedicure, massage, lunch with friends etc.
