A ‘spring’ clean

As a working mother, I am on the go non-stop — cooking, cleaning, ferrying children, meeting deadlines, advising and disciplining — and there’s no time out for myself.

This is what being a parent is about. I am lucky, and not complaining, but it would be nice to have the time that some women (probably fictional) have to indulge in weekly facials, hour-long candle-lit baths, leisurely cleansing and exfoliating their skin before expertly applying expensive make-up.
