How lavender in your shower can help release the “hurry” trapped in your body?

If you love the simplicity of a good hot shower and lavender soap to slow down in the evenings after work to wind down, I'm starting a new aromatherapy lavender soap subscription box with lavender soaps and more.

Always doing. Always giving. Always holding it down.
There’s a certain kind of woman who’s mastered the art of showing up for everyone.

​
But that “hurry” she carries?
It doesn’t just live in the schedule—it gets stored in your body and that stress comes home with you.

​

And the way to let go of that stress… is simple. It's through your senses.

A hot shower.
Lavender aromatherapy soap in hand.
Steam rising.
Your pace slowing, naturally.

​

Because for this moment, you are present right where you are instead of making decisions and planning for later in the day, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, and some of us HEAVY planners... even making decisions about the next decade and even into retirement.

​

That isn't to say that planning isn't important. It isn't to say thinking ahead is not important. They are. But, they both have a place.

​

So when you go home. In what is meant to be a peaceful space. Your safe haven. Bringing that kind of stressful energy into that space... well, we've got to stop bringing that into the space that is meant to make us feel better, feel calm.

​

So in your shower or your bath. Let the scent of lavender help you use your senses to come back to your calm, relaxed, peaceful self, minus the stress.
Let the calming scent of essential oils gently take over.

​
“Soap that smells like calm and feels like I finally thought of me too.”

In just a few minutes, everything starts to shift.
Your pace slows down.

​
The tension in your body melts.
Your mind exhales.
And your body finally lets go of the rush it’s been holding all day.

​

That’s the beauty of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy soap.
It’s not just a scent—it’s a signal.

​
A gentle nudge to your nervous system that says, relax and let it go for now.​
Lavender essential oil calms your mind, eases tension and tension headaches, and helps restore a sense of balance—just through scent alone.

​

It turns a hot shower into a ritual of care to relieve stress, just for you.
It turns what was once just a bar of soap into a small act of healing- for your mind, body, and soul.
It reminds you how it feels to simply be still.

​

💜 Slowing down isn’t selfish.
It’s how we refill what life keeps pouring out.

​

So let the warmth of the water, the lather of your aromatherapy soap, the lavender essential oil bring you back to yourself—
Not the version of you holding everything together all day, not the one making so many decisions, and not the one keeping a mental check list of it all....

​
but the one who's already done all of that for today, and now laid it down, willing to lay it down... for this moment.

You deserve peace and space to breathe.

Slowing down starts with your senses—how essential oils calm a fried nervous system.
You give so much.

Strong. Capable. Always showing up.
But even strong women deserve a moment to feel supported.
Sometimes that moment begins in the shower.

Lavender soap in hand.
Steam rising.
Breath deepening.

The soft scent of calm filling the space—and your soul.
​“It’s five quiet minutes and the scent of peace. That’s all I needed.”
In just a few minutes, everything can shift.

Your pace slows.
The tension melts.

And your heart reconnects with peace.
That’s the beauty of aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy uses natural plant-based scents, essential oils—like lavender—to gently support your mind and body.​
The right scent can ease tension, calm your nervous system, and bring a sense of peace… all through your senses. It can even ease tension headaches.

It gently brings your mind back to calm- for those with racing thoughts or those days when you feel "antsy".
It reminds your body how good it feels to just exhale.
It turns a simple shower into a moment, an experience of ease in your day.

💜 Slowing down—it’s choosing to feel good again.
This is what the calming shower soap experience can look like: it's ease, warmth, and a little aromatherapy lavender soap lather.
Let this be in the gentlest way, a return back to you of the joy, peace, and positive energy you share—
Joy lives in these soft moments, too.

You’re Allowed to Slow Down and Still Rise Strong

You give so generously—
your time, your energy, your love.
You pour into others, often without a second thought.

But what if today gave something back to you?
Not loudly… but in the gentlest way.

A few quiet minutes.
Warm water. Lavender soap. A scent that wraps around you like kindness and peace.

A moment where your needs get to matter, too.

The shower is where you remember you're allowed to slow down… and still rise strong.

This isn’t just soap.
This is your calming shower soap experience.

A soft reset for the woman who rarely asks for one.

Let this moment meet you exactly where you are—
and give you something back. 🌿💜

Until next time, color your thoughts beautiful-

Jess

What Five Quiet Minutes Can Do

It’s five quiet minutes and the scent of peace. That’s all you needed today. You probably didn't even know it.

Just a quiet shower where no one needs anything of you.

And in that moment, the warm water, the calming soap scent —
You can feel yourself letting go a little.
Letting go of the to-do list.
The noise.
The pressure to be “on” all the time.

You didn’t even realize how tense you were until you felt your shoulders drop, the headache ease away, and the ache in you back fade.

Until you noticed you were actually relaxed. Calm. Peaceful. Slowing down — not just racing through the day.

That’s what this soap can do for you.
It’s not about fancy routines or having hours to be alone (because let’s be real, that’s rare).
It’s about one small moment that feels like yours.

And sometimes, that’s all it takes to feel like you can keep going.
A few quiet minutes where you can hear yourself think.
Where you feel calm again.
Where you remember it's okay to be still. It's okay to move slowly- intentionally.

If your days feel full and you feel scattered —
a slow moment to manage your energy...
this is the kind of moment I hope you give yourself.

Even if it’s just five minutes.

Until next time, color your thoughts beautiful-
Jessica

You Don't Have to Break, to take a break... Slowing Down —It’s Wisdom

Can I remind you of something... one woman to another?
You’re allowed to slow down.
As women, we often wait until it's too late and we're falling apart.

Don't slow down because you’re falling apart—
but because your peace is just as priceless as everything and everyone you hold together.
You spend much time showing up for others.
Do you show up for yourself the same way? Using the same effort? Giving yourself the same amount of time?
If the answer is no and you don't know how to do this. Where to even start.
It can start with something small.
A hot shower.
A few deep, calming breaths.
The peaceful scent of lavender soap as it rises with the steam and reminds you…
you’re here. Your peace matters.
And then, this is all you do...
Let the water run until the to-do list fades, the tension in your body loosens, and you remember—you’re human, not a machine.
That’s not just a moment.
This is a sacred pause, reserved for you.
Its the beginning of a transformation within you—a quiet one. A gentle one. A deeply needed one.
The lavender aromatherapy soap doesn’t ask you to be anyone.
It simply invites you to feel—free. Feel calm
The lavender? It’s not just a scent.
It’s a scent that sends a signal to your body and mind every time the hot water touches it. It's one of the rare things in life that has a special way of speaking to your soul and reminds you that it's okay to let go.

That you don’t have to carry it all, and get it all done. All the time.
Even five minutes can change the way your whole evening feels, regardless of how the day started.
One peaceful pause can remind you of your own strength.
You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment.
You just need one yes to lavender soap and to starting small.
Until next time, color your thoughts beautiful.

The Hot Shower That Helps You Come Back to Yourself

There’s something tender about this season of your life.
Even if no one else sees it.
Even if you don’t talk about it.

You’ve learned to hold a lot—your emotions, other people’s needs and emotions, all the unspoken weight that doesn’t make it on your to-do list but still takes up mental space and causes that mental clutter.

And while you might look strong—and you are—
you also feel everything.
Deeply.

That’s not weakness.
That’s called being human.
A kind human.

So when you step into the shower, it’s not just about washing off.
It's washing off the day—
It’s about setting the day down.
Letting the warm water soften what you've been bracing all day.
Letting go of the tension in your body.
Letting the gentle scent of lavender rise, from the lavender soap without overwhelming your senses.
Letting your skin finally touch something that doesn't make it sting or react.

Because when your heart is tender, your skin often is too.
And the truth is—you deserve care that doesn’t just cleanse, but comforts you too.

Remember, handle with care—both the heart and the skin.

That’s where the return begins.
Not to who you were before things got heavy—
But to the version of you that’s still here, waiting to be heard and held.

This is more than just soap.
It's Smom's Lifestyle- The Calming Soap Experience.
It’s a quiet way back to yourself.
And sometimes, that’s all it takes to feel steady again.

Until next time, color your thoughts beautiful.

Jessica

This Is More Than a Shower. It’s Where You Remember Your Heart Needs Soothing Too

There’s a shift that happens in a hot shower the moment water hits your back and that gentle lavender scent rises.

You’re no longer the woman carrying the weight of everything.
You’re not just managing the household, the emotions, or holding space for everyone else.

For five quiet minutes, you’re simply allowed to be.
Without pressure.
Just warmth, a deep breath, and the kind of soap that doesn’t irritate your skin—or your soul.

When you have sensitive skin and a sensitive heart, the world can feel like too much.
Everything is louder. Closer. Heavier.

But it only takes one intentional pause to begin softening the edges.

A calming scent.
A gentle lather.
A moment where you're not fixing or responding. But you are doing something. You are showing up for yourself in this moment.

Beneath every strong exterior lies a heart that feels deeply.

That’s where the transformation begins.

Not in the routines that feel like more work—
But in the quiet where your nervous system relaxes,
your breath slows down, you slow down.
Your spirit whispers,
“I’m still here.”

The lavender doesn’t just soothe your skin.
It gives you back to yourself.
Make a promise to yourself today. That "I" will always have my back.

And that? That’s everything.

Until next time, color your thoughts beautiful-
Jessica

A Shower. A Soap Scent. And a Moment to Notice What’s Good.

Not really the spa day type. Never really have been. Don’t really need someone to pamper me.
Now, don't get it wrong... sometimes that is nice, but it's not really something that has to be a part of a weekly routine. Just give me a quiet shower where no one’s asking for anything or need help finding something.

Can you relate?

That’s peace. That’s a reset.
The lavender soap you can keep on the edge of the tub? It’s not just soap—it’s part of the way you can come back to yourself. A moment to slow down, intentionally.

A moment to pay attention to your body. A moment to pay attention to what you're feeling.
To notice if you're holding tension. To notice the headache, if it's there. To notice you.
But, it's also a moment ...
To notice the meal you ate that felt nourishing today.
To notice the roof over your head.
To notice that you're still here and still growing.
And all of these things are beautiful - and worth noticing.

These are just some of the things you notice when you slow down in the shower, intentionally.
The lather of the soap is soft. The scent of the lavender is calming.
And for five quiet minutes, You're not in go-mode. Not multitasking. You're just here. Breathing. Letting the water wash the weight of the day off your shoulders.
Sometimes you might light a candle. Sometimes, maybe you don’t. But either way, this moment is yours.
It’s small, but it shifts things. Your shoulders drop. The tension goes away.

"Peace isn’t found in the perfect moment—it’s in the one you decide to notice."

This is that moment.

Until next time, color your thoughts beautiful-
Jessica

How To Use a Hot Shower to Shift Your Energy After Work

There’s a moment in your day when you get to decide—it’s time to shift.

You’ve shown up. Handled things. Given your best to everyone and everything around you.

But now… it’s your time.
Not because you’ve earned it… but because you deserve it.

You don’t need a complicated routine.

Just a hot shower.
And a bar of lavender soap.

Let the water run warm. Let the scent fill the air.

That first breath? That’s your signal.
You’re allowed to let go now.
This is your shift—from doing to being in the moment .... alone

That lavender scent? It’s not just relaxing—it’s calming. It’s aromatherapy, yes. But it’s also a cue: to slow down, breathe deeper, and allow your muscles to just relax.

This is what slow living looks like.

Just one moment where your body, mind, and nervous system remember what peace feels like.

You’ll feel it—how the weight of the day begins to lift.

When you step out, you’re not just clean—you’re clearer.
More at ease. Calmer and that tension headache in the back of your head is all of a sudden gone.

No, you didn't take aspirin.

But, it's because you chose a moment that brought you back to yourself.
And that’s enough.

The Most Underrated Way to De-Stress This Summer ...

The shower? Yes. 🚿🧼
It’s the only space in the house that doesn’t seem to be completely hijacked by questions about what's for dinner.

There are shoes stacked up at the front door, dishes to do, and I’m 90% sure my daughter got her hands on a pencil again because it looks like a toddler drawn circle on the wall.

Aside from that though...

This shower?
Still mine. And I'm holding onto that like it's the last shred of my sanity.

You don't know until you know the soothing power of hot water and good smelling soap—it's more than just a shower.
It’s therapy- aromatherapy.
It’s silence. It’s nobody talking to me through the door for five minutes.

And it's not even about trying to do a self care routine in there.
Just grab lavender soap—it smells calm, which is more than I can say for the rest of the house sometimes this summer—and let the water and lavender do its thing.

Just hot water, slow breathes, and the scent of “I can handle this… .”

If you're feeling it this summer with the kids home from school all day, feeling a little snappy, or just done—
Don’t underestimate the power of stepping into a hot shower and pretending, for two minutes, that the world is paused.

Let the lavender and steam do their thing.
It gives you just enough peace to walk back out there and keep going.

Honestly, it's not a bath. It's not a retreat.
But it's the only place nobody asks you for a snack.

And that? That’s priceless.
