When Dove asked me to give Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash a try and wanted to know how I nourish my body and soul on a daily basis, that was the first story I thought of. Three kids and 10 years later I can count on one hand the number of days I haven't taken a shower. I even took a shower in Park City, UT when the water heater in our vacation house went out and it was freezing cold. Still took a shower. It is sort of my sanity saver. Maybe not that Park City shower, but the rest of them. What isn't to love? Time alone, the sound of water blocking out the other noises, steam, and good smelling soap.
But all the time I spend in the shower doesn't help my dry skin. What does help is the proven effective nourishment in Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash. It honestly feels like putting on lotion in the shower, but it still gets all bubbly and sudsy. Best of both worlds. I love the nice clean smell. And it is nice not to feel like you have to load on the lotion as soon as you step out of the tub. So I can take a long shower and use the time to destress, nourishment for my mind and spirit, and it happens to nourish my skin too. Win, win, win! Now if it would only clean the shower too...

I could really use this!!!
ReplyDeleteI try to make time to meditate. It doesn't have to be for very long. Just long enough to center myself and get back at with a good attitude!
ReplyDeleteI try to think thankful thoughts! Being positive really does help get me through rough times. Finding time to create also does wonders for me. And lastly, when all else fails and I have tried to relax and nothing is relieving the stress, throwing a thrift store piece of bricabrac against the back fence really helps! One good crash and it just makes you laugh!
ReplyDeleteBeing creative keeps me centered. Even if it's just a quick sketch of a project or reorganizing a small space. This keeps me in a positive frame of mind!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great review post. :)
ReplyDeleteI nourish myself each day by setting time aside for myself to plan and meditate. It's a great way to unwind and relax.

To take time for myself I like to make cards. I love how making something and seeing how it turns out. I also love seeing how others react when they get a homemade card.

ReplyDeleteI pamper myself with a fresh smelling body wash, a pedicure (usually at home), a delicious cup of coffee, a little online time (pinterest, facebook...), shopping, ...
ReplyDeleteI, too, love to escape to the shower. I used to do this all the time when my boys were small. Now I am raising two grand kids and taking care of hubby who recently had a stroke so this escape is more important than ever. I also tuck everyone in a hour before I hit the hay and just enjoy the quiet of the house....
ReplyDeleteI like to read and give myself a pedicure.

I dont' know if it's a "secret", but I try to make the most of my commute into work. Some days it can be as long as an hour but at least 30 minutes. And even though I may get annoyed at all the traffic and the stupid drivers, I try to make the most of it by clearing my mind of everything except my driving duties, or getting some quiet time to focus on my projects for the day.
ReplyDeleteI shower every day as well. I love my Dove body bar, but may need to try out the Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash. Dry skin in the winter is the worst feeling. Makes clothes clingy as well.
ReplyDeletei nourish myself with a soak in a bubblebath!
ReplyDeletethanks for the great giveaways!

I use the time after my husband has gone to bed to do things that are for me. being creative, reading, doing nothing-goofing off. I try to find time diffrent times of the day to just be quiet and take stock of my enviornment. sometimes i have to put on some music i like really loud and just dance around[ sometimes with my dog who is pretty light on his feet]
ReplyDeleteI mourish myself by reading and listening to music on my back deck

I lock my door to my sewing room and work on something for myself!
ReplyDeleteI am a bath girl! Taking a bubble bath with soft music on after the girl child is asleep is something I look forward to after a hard day.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a few moments for myself, I do like to read a book but don't find the time alone, thanks for the giveaway, sounds great!

I read to relax. And drink tea.
ReplyDeleteI play with my kids and have some time in with them; it makes me feel better to know that I am more than the maid. I also try to get outside every day, even if it's just a walk to the mailbox and back.

ReplyDeleteI try to nourish myself by doing something small for myself every day. Whether it is lighting a scented candle, making a cup of coffee exactly the way I like it, crafting something, or reading for 10 minutes, just taking a few minutes for just ME helps tremendously.
ReplyDeleteI nourish myself every day with getting fresh air, eating an organic salad in the afternoon (the rest of the day is a crap shoot!), grabbing a bath a couple of times a week and doing Yoga! I love Nourishment! I also love Dove products!
ReplyDeletePretty much ditto to everything you said. I always get a shower if nothing else!
ReplyDeleteI love Dove products! Thanks for a chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteI try to get out to the garden and get my hands dirty! Nothing like relaxing with the good earth and watching the beauty God has created. Put in a jacuzzi tub in the kids bath, try to use it, not enough though!
ReplyDeleteI nourish myself with exercise, warm shower, and coffee

ReplyDeleteI like to relax after my kids are in bed by looking at my fav blogs, talking to my sis on the phone, watching a show, and eating dark chocolate Reeses PB cups (from the fridge!) They are delicious :)
ReplyDeletei nourish my inner artist by taking time for me at the end of the night to create... either through my blog or through my art :)

ReplyDeleteI sit and quietly enjoy a cup of coffee each morning before anyone else is awake!
ReplyDeleteLove reading all these ways to nourish - I need to try some. For now, coffee in the quiet time of morning is mine! Thanks for this giveaway and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteI go to the gym and pray-both are my nourishment

I have eczema so Dove products have always been something I used that didn't irritate my skin. These products look great!
ReplyDeleteThe best way to nourish myself is to do something I have total control over and that is only eating foods that are good for my body. Since I made the switch and only eat healthy foods, my hair and nails have thickened, my skins looks and feels better, and I have twice the energy I used too!
ReplyDeleteSanity saver here is DEFINITELY a long hot bath!!

ReplyDeletei try to get plenty of rest
ReplyDeleteNourishment for me is quiet time in the morning with a diet coke and my laptop!! chefl@swbell.net
ReplyDeleteI make sure to do things for myself. That could be going out with friends, watching a movie, etc. Baths with music and bubbles use to be one of my favorite things to do for myself but haven't been able to do it while I've been in school.
ReplyDeleteOverall, the things that bring you joy and help maintain your sanity, even if you think you don't have any ;)
I nourish myself by taking a hot bath and reading every night

ReplyDeleteDrinking a hot beverage, of any sort, hot chocolate, tea coffee, whatever, is always sort of meditative to me. Definately a way to nourish myself spiritually... and if it's tea, the nutritionally too.
