La Samba

Hey Busy Mama.. You're not alone! Take the time to read this article, and if you have your own 10 min (or under) hacks, please share.

How Ten Minutes Changed my Relationship to My Kids Tell me I am not alone, that I am not the only mother who has struggled connecting with my kids. There are some moments when I don't want to be hugged,

Does closing one's eyes on the train count? I have a long commute..

But its already Monday .. you say!?
So click Save Post and set a reminder to check this for the upcoming Sunday or you can simply apply today!

Let me know in the comment which ones you do, or what works for you:

1. Check your calendar/s to ensure you have times scheduled for all your activities, especially the tasks you normally procrastinate on or get less time for.
ie.. I am also doing a Tafe Diploma; this week I need to allocate an extra 3hr of study as I have an assessment due.

2. Check the weather! It helps to be prepared and helps you think about the week ahead for step number 3.

3. Check you have your outfits ready... from Gym clothes (yip no excuse about it being hidden in the cupboard) to work and allows you to check if you have an outfit ready for an occasion. Check the kids cupboards as well, and have them in on this step as well. Check your bathroom as well, ensure you have what you need from products to make up accessibility and your favourite lipstick either on the bench or in your bag.

4. FOOD- meal prep the life out of everything! Ie... vegetables, meats, rice, snacks, prepare, chop, have in sight, ready for you to grab or pack in the lunches as needed. And If you have a set meal plan it makes eating healthy so much easier!

5. Get outside. Most of us if not all, will be around technology and air pollution a lot during the week. Change up the scenery intentionally on the weekend. Get outside, even if it's your own back yard, look at the trees, the flowers, the nature, it will help calm your mind. I encourage at least 30 minutes outside, best still go for a walk in your local park.

6. Schedule a call this week with someone you haven't spoken to in a while or a family member, or just let them know you're thinking of them and ask them how they are doing.

7. Get to bed earlier by 15 minutes, during this time, read over your goals, speak out what you want and who you are, write out any happy memories from the weekend and well you can either tell the person next to you how much you love them .. or kiss the cat goodnight and drift off to sleep.

If you're new to this page let me quickly say Welcome!
This is La Samba. A group where we share all things beauty, skin care, lifestyle and living our best lives now!

I happen to be a mother of two so occasional mum venting memes, other tips and tricks and collaboration with other amazing women!

La Samba came about when I was introduced to the products of Senegence in 2021, it started with a love for Lipsense.. the most astounding lipstick ever with its long lasting ability and delightful colours.. then came the obsession with CCTM and of course the entire skincare range.

La Samba is about loving YOU and together we can make a difference ❤

And yes I also have a love for all things French.. 🙄🤷‍♀️
