You know those days when nothing is going your way? The house is a wreck, your bills are all past due (and it is DAYS until pay day), or your kids are driving u CRAZY! If you have no experience in any of these areas or your life is not a hot mess sometimes then this is not for you. For those of you who experience some of these or things similar to these more than once in a while then let me tell ya a little secret…. you are NOT alone!
Most of us mamas have these days (you do not have to admit it. I am a mom I KNOW it is a thing)! I am sure we all handle these days or moments differently and that is totally cool, but just in case you are looking for a new way to handle things I thought you might like to hear about the power of a shower and good hairspray!

Some days the idea of taking a shower and fixing my hair is tiring. It seems like just another thing to check off my to-do list & by the time the kids are asleep I am over that to-do list, but if I have had a bad day or a long day or I have some problem that just seems like the end of the world then I need that shower more than ever! Something about going into the bathroom after everyone else is asleep, shutting the door & spending as much time under the HOT water as I want too is healing.
Some days, depending on what has me in a mood, this shower requires certain things to make my world right again. For instance, 90’s rap music (if this is not your favorite that is ok we can still be friends…maybe!) during my shower can give me the energy that I did not realize i even needed. Slow pop music can calm me down when I had NO clue I was wound tight with anxiety. If I have things on my mind that I need to forget I turn on something I can sing too (women of country does the trick) because that is one of the only ways I know how to talk without actually saying a word. When I take a shower with any of these things I am a new woman when I get out.
Almost instantly after a long hot shower I can see that whatever I thought was the end of the world is in fact not that big of a deal with a clean head of hair… add a blow dryer, to many hair products to mention, a round brush, straightener and a good can of hairspray and I can conquer anything you put in my path. I am a new woman once the hairspray hits the hair. I do not care if its midnight and I am just going to bed or if it is 7am and I am going to work the hairspray does the trick. I can see that my day wasnt all that bad. The bills will get paid and the world will still be spinning when they do even if they are late. The kids aren’t all that bad they just have alot of energy and I need to think of better ways to help them release it.
Whatever your problem may be, BIG or small, give the shower and hairspray a try and see if it doesn’t make you feel better! At the very least if it doesn’t make you a new woman you will be a clean woman & we both know that helps anyone rule the world! Now go get your shower on and don’t forget the music!! You got this ladies. I promise that problem will get better!
