Repeat after us: it’s not selfish to take time to yourself, it’s not selfish to do something just for you, it’s not selfish to treat yourself. It’s easy to put ourselves last as moms, especially when we’re in the thick of it with making sure our kids’ needs are met.
But if you’ve ever dabbled with parental burnout, then you know: we have to take care of ourselves to be the best parents we can be for our kids. We’re not saying that self-care is the answer to everything, but we do believe that caring for your own needs (on a regular basis!) and treating yourself from time-to-time, can help make this whole motherhood thing feel a little more sustainable.
So whether it’s a “getaway” into a good book, a CBD-infused soak in the bathtub, or a little retail therapy, we’ve got you covered with this list of 20 of our favorite treat-yourself items for moms—check them out below.
