Monday blues
post was sponsored by CLEAR
Mondays are universally a bummer…I can’t think of anyone this isn’t true for. My husband works long hours which makes the weekends uber precious, and sending him back to the grind Monday mornings are always tough for the whole family. Add school, making lunches, carpooling, work, lessons…the anticipation of the whole week ahead can feel daunting. That’s why I’ve been trying to make my Mondays feel more joyful with a few self-love rituals to make things less painful.

Here’s what I do; maybe some of these ideas will spark ways you can embrace Mondays more.
First, I plan a workout I’m excited about. I love SoulCycle and treat myself to a class with my favorite teacher every Monday. The music is always killer and I walk out feeling better than ever and ready to face the week.
After cycling I make a green smoothie. (side note: always make sure you eat pre-workout too…embarrassing/entertaining story on that topic coming in future post!) I like to mix up flavors, but my latest fave has a few handfuls of fruit (pineapple, berries and cherries) with avocado, teaspoon of chia seeds, two giant handfuls of spinach and almond milk. I like adding stevia too if I’m craving sweets.
Then at some point I love soaking in an epsom salt bath. While in the tub, I use CLEAR Complete Scalp Care Anti-Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner. This product is amazing at removing all product build-up on my hair. It also exfoliates my scalp so it feels like a scalp treatment while I’m soaking in my epsom salts. (check out this 5 minute scalp massage tutorial) Since I avoid washing my hair as much as possible, it’s nice to treat myself to this hair routine I’ve started. My scalp feels amazing after and I swear my hair is shinier and healthier post washing. Having a healthy scalp leads to having healthy hair. CLEAR contains Zinc which is good for hydrating the scalp and hair. I almost forget I’m treating scalp issues because the product is so beautifully packaged. CLEAR is such a great product for this specific reason. You don’t have to be embarrassed to keep this in your shower. Scalp flakes is a hair issue everyone wants to avoid but also feels a bit awkward talking about.Clear is here to help us women stay flake free and keep a healthy scalp. The new Complete Scalp Care Anti-Dandruff Conditioner, combined with matching Shampoo, helps achieve 100% flake-free results with regular use.
My favorite part about this shampoo is it’s infused with cucumber and mint. It creates a rich lather and the scalp treatment experience feels like it’s really doing some work! I love the slight tingle and the smell makes me feel like I’m at the spa. Another reason this is now done on Mondays!
And my final Monday ritual is climbing into bed for my weekly reality TV fix….Mondays are so much better when The Bachelor is on! Now that it’s over I’m waiting patiently for the Bachelorette to start. Making Mondays amazing…we owe so much to ABC and of course to my new favorite scalp treatment by CLEAR HAIR!

What do you do on your least favorite day of the week? To be honest my Mondays are starting to not be so bad. wink wink.
