Regaining Sanity...My Way
Posted by Laurie McGowan on May 02, 2012 1 Comment
In order to maintain one's sanity, a refuge of some sort must be used on occasion to escape the chaos and find your inner balance. Or have a place that the door locks. My escape tends to be the bathroom. Don’t judge me, it’s just my sanctuary.
This was house number 55 that we had looked at when moving to Calgary. Seriously. I fell in love as soon as we hit the Master Bedroom. An item on my need list was an ensuite and it had to be larger than our previous squished one. The Calgary master bathroom is my version of heaven (when its clean). There is a door with a lock on it between the bathroom and bedroom. The there is a make-up table. There is a toilet with a door and a lock on it. And the bathtub is large enough to fit four of us if needed. I’m not bragging. I just love my bathroom.
I will take any opportunity to spend time in there. Mind you, there isn’t a lot of time. The 20 minutes I get before the girls have their bath is my time. I can read, listen to music or half-sleep. Usually, a Delish Naturals product joins me. They make Glam Glow Brown Sugar Scrub. It gently exfoliates and super moisturizes all while smelling lovely. There are a variety of scents, but I have an obsession with Root Beer Float. It’s sweet but not too sweet and oh so comforting.
I hope you can find a way to relax. Even those few precious moments are important. Something I have come to realize is that things don’t get better when I’m a big ball of uncontrollable craziness…I need to find the time to calm, de-stress and let the tension go. For some, exercise does the trick. Others, its reading a book and floating in a tub of warm water with super soft skin.
Let’s celebrate baths…with a sale! Until May 7th, buy 2 Delish Naturals Glam Glow Brown Sugar Scrubs and save 50% on the 3rd! One for you, one for your best friend and one for your Mom! Win-win!!

Spending time with my 3 granddaughters tops my list. It is pure joy!
My next best de-stresser is my studio/sewing room or my needles and some wool. Creating colourful gorgeous things from my fabric, ribbon and button stash, or knitting some luscious little sweater for a granddaughter do it for me. I get in the zone of the colours, textures…the sound and feel of thread pulling through fine wool or silk….the warmth, softness, weight of merino wool (thank you TanisFiberArts !!) turning into something lovely…it is a kind of magic for me. I am always surprised and often delighted by what comes out in the end, seemingly of its own accord.
You can see some of my results on this site under “Accessories”. I am happy to take custom orders through “Adventures of Little”. Contact Laurie if you have special wishes.
Oh yes….and a nice cup of tea!
