We always say the best Sundays are self-care Sundays, and with Mothering Sunday just around the corner it’s the perfect excuse to take 5 minutes to yourself. We asked our co-founders, sisters Rebecca and Clare, to share their dream self-care Sunday with us and how they plan on spending their Mother’s Day.
Can you describe your dream Mothering Sunday?
Clare: My Sunday would begin with a lie in followed by a delicious breakfast - homemade muesli or pancakes with the kids.
The afternoon will be full of sport as my children have cricket coaching (my son loves it so much he won’t miss it). They’ve started a women’s team now that I’ve joined and I’m loving training with my daughter and lots of other mums.
Evening with a lovely roast then a movie with my partner and the kids.
Rebecca: A leisurely day starting with a trip to the flower market and a spot of gardening. Hanging out with my husband and girls and taking off somewhere like Richmond Park with our bikes.
Ending the day with a roast supper – for Mothering Sunday I like to be cooked for!
Finally a family movie night and to be in bed by 10pm.
What is your selfcare Sunday tip?
C: Lots of sleep and lots of exercise with fresh air. Good food and having fun hanging out with family and friends.
R: A relaxing bath in the early afternoon if we’re at home. It helps me sleep more peacefully on a Sunday night which prepares me for the busy week ahead. I use this ‘me’ time to road test new products that we have in development as I can take my time and see how they perform, work with our current range and most importantly, if I find them a pleasure to use!
What self-care tips did your mum share with you both?
C: Make and eat homemade food. We never had readymade meals growing up, but we always enjoyed delicious homemade cakes and puddings. She’s a fantastic cook
Which Balance Me Skincare will you be gifting your mum this year?
R: It will have to be our latest beauty sleep range. Our stellar balm and hand cream are also a firm favourite and two products we can’t live without.
