They offer a shoulder to cry, act as our biggest cheerleaders and generously share their wisdom with us each and every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the truth is that plenty of mums are putting themselves at the bottom of their to-do list. Research has even found that <\/span>78% of mums put off taking care of themselves or their health <\/span><\/a>and prioritise their family\u2019s wellbeing instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We know that self-care isn\u2019t simply about fancy creams and bubble baths: it\u2019s essential to our long-term physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. So this Mother\u2019s Day, we\u2019re giving you a stack of practical tips and ideas to help you give the gift of self-care to every kind of mum in your life. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

Why self-care needs to be a non- negotiable for mums<\/span><\/h3>\n

Self-care might seem like an indulgence, but it\u2019s really the foundation of a healthy routine. And don\u2019t let the big beauty companies fool you: self-care is actually about carving out time and space to <\/span>decompress, unwind and put our physical and emotional health first<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We know that mums, in particular, are great at prioritising everyone but themselves. After spending so much time nurturing and caring for family members, some mums can see self-care as excessive or unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, self-care is actually one of the best ways to show up as our best selves for ourselves and our loved ones. It\u2019s as simple as making time for physical activity, quality time with friends and family as well as making space for the things and hobbies we love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We chatted to <\/span>Zoe Marshall<\/span><\/a> (a podcaster, media personality and mum of two), who shared why she believes self-care is so important for mums this Mother\u2019s Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m being honest, self-care is something every mum wants and more importantly needs this Mother\u2019s Day. It can be as simple as a massage, lovely hand cream or something nice that she can use to have a moment to herself and just be,\u201d shares Zoe. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
