 Women work extremely hard these days either because they
have a career and a household to take care of or even if they stay at home, they have just too many responsibilities, particularly if they have kids. Therefore, women have to find unique ways to relax themselves when they are tired after a hard day's work.
Here is what the schedule can look like at least a couple of nights each week so that you will not only have time for yourself but for your partner as
well. We are recommending about two and a half hours
relaxation routine but you can adjust it according to your
schedule.

When you get home, drink a cool glass
of water or a cup of chamomile tea. Sit down, turn down the
lights, and put some soothing relaxation music on. If you like candles,
consider an aromatherapy candle to calm and soothe your senses. |
| 00:10 |
Use a cold eye mask which is very
helpful in relaxing the muscles in the eye area, especially if you
work with computers or in artificial light (these eye masks are
available for only a few dollars). (Related

Run a hot bath or and add one spoonful of
bath
salts. You can also add
Jo Malone grapefruit oil, the way
Kate Beckinsale does. Lie down in the
tub with
minimum movement. Relax as long as you feel like and you can
also bring your aromatherapy candle to the bathroom. Of course,
the relaxation music may also join you in the bathroom. It is
reported that
Jennifer Lopez attributes her beauty to lots of long,
hot baths. |

It is now time to take a shower.
Use a loofah to gently rub your skin to get rid of dead cells. |
| 01:10 |
Step out of the shower and dry
yourself with a
soft, cotton towel. Take some time to gently
apply body
lotion. |
| 01:30 |
Dress up in loose comfortable clothes.
Cotton is strongly recommended but silk is fine for special moments.
Stick with light colors, preferably blue or white. Some women
find pink also to be a color that helps them feel more feminine. |
| 01:40 |
Light dinner is recommended,
preferably a
salad or a soup. Drink a lot of water since you may
have been dehydrated, particularly if you spent some time in the hot
bath. |
| 02:00 |
Sit down for a half hour or so to
either read or just to listen to more relaxation music. Avoid
television but if you feel like watching, stick to non-stressful
programs on HGTV, Food, or any other similar channels. |
| 02:30 |
It is time to sleep with lights out. |
