Soulful Giveaway: Win Seal’s Latest CD Soul

by

seal_soul_albumThe hustle and bustle of the holiday season has really been taking its toll lately.

As you can imagine, I don’t get a whole lot of “me” time as a mom of five, so I’ve learned to work in short bursts of relaxation when I can throughout the day to prevent myself from being overwhelmed by everything.

One of my favorite methods for relaxation lately is just taking a few minutes to listen to Seal’s latest CD, Soul. I close my eyes and just become one with the music, and after about 15 minutes I’ve regained most of my sanity and am ready to tackle life head on again.

Soul features eleven classic soul songs, and I truly feel like there’s something here for everyone. If you’d like to hear a taste, just check out the widget in my sidebar!

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a copy of Soul so he or she can kick back and relax a little, and as an added bonus, you’ll receive these great little Lego iPod speakers from Delight.com. (I’m so jealous of these – I think they’re just adorable!)

    I have a cup a tea and talk over my day with my husband. He helps me put everything into perspective.

    Ok so I admit my unhealthy way to unwind is having some ice cream at night when everyone is asleep.Just me my laptop and the boobtube. I look up allo the ways I can save during the week.And watch a littls something.

    Don’t get a chance to do it very often, but a hot bubble bath with some scented candles and a good book are my favorite way to unwind and relax. Thanks!

  7. Stacy

    I like to shut the bedroom door and blast my christian cds….so unwinding, refreshing and inspirational.

    I take a bubble bath every evening with no interruptions. Sometimes I play relaxing music. Everyone knows it’s “mommy time” and I am never disturbed.

    I throw myself into my recliner, have a good cup of coffee or chai tea to sip on and if I’m lucky throw on a great movie to watch. I also do some deep breathing which really helps me unwind!

    Thanks so much

    Thanks for the giveaway!!

    My husband works out of town during the week, so sometimes I have to wait a few hours, but once the kids are in bed, it’s MY time! I love to curl up on the couch with the computer and just surf aimlessly and catch up on my blogs.

    I never seem to have time for myself — but on those days that I manage to get some time for myself, I love to take a long hot shower. Pamper myself — deep conditioning treatment, facial, etc. Then I sit down with my favorite book or look through my new magazines and try to get some reading.

    I’m really not good with taking time for myself, especially since I breastfeed. I try to get my mom to go shopping with me once or twice a month and make hubby watch the kids, that’s about all I can get away for…

    My husband keeps the kids in the family room downstairs while I hit the bubble bath upstairs with a drink and a book. Half an hour and I’m back to normal. ;-D

    My favorite way to unwind after a long, hard day is to run a hot bath, light my favorite incense and candles, pour a glass of Alize, and play soft jazz in the background as I rest my head on a cushy bath pillow!

    What a wonderful giveaway prize drawing. I had heard of Seal as a singer and as the husband of Heidi Klum. His voice is remarkable! Rewinding for me comes in the form of yoga, reading the Bible, a hot bubble bath
    and /or sitting on our front porch and just taking in the view. Thanks for the chance to win the CD and adorable speakers. Cindi

    Take a hot bath with good smelling bath wash, then afterwards curl up with a good book and a hot cup of coffee.
