MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos are very family oriented. Compared to other cultures around the world, family always comes first to the Filipino.

Filipinos also recognize mothers as the “light of the home.”

Juggling multiple roles is never easy. Taking on the task of running a household and wanting to build a career at the same time can get real tough. But despite a hectic schedule women should never settle when it comes to taking care of themselves.

Career women always give their 100% and that includes being their best beautiful. Despite their busy schedule and stressful activities, they never forget the most important thing to balancing everything they love: their self.

To provide for your family and achieve what you want in your career, you have to take care of yourself and take steps to stay your best beautiful.

Having ‘me’ time as a mother will give you time to focus on yourself and have some time to relax. Don’t ever forget that when you become a mother, you just took on another role and it doesn’t mean that it’s the end of your personal life as you know it. Give yourself a chance to still be your best beautiful.

Have a break so you can feel good and look good. You can go to a spa and have a facial or if you don’t have the luxury of spending hours away from home, have a quick fix instead. Your well deserved ‘me’ time can be done right at home. Set up your bedroom (or bathroom) with soothing music, light up some scented candles and have a warm bath. Don’t forget to use an exfoliator and a rich moisturizer to give your skin a much-needed break too.  Sometimes all you need is the right product that suits your skin to give you that fresh feeling.

What activities do you find relaxing? Why do you think it’s important to never settle about your physical well-being despite having to focus on your family and career?
