It’s no secret moms get a bad rap for putting themselves on the back burner. They put everyone’s needs before their own; no doubt, out of love.
It’s important to remember that self-love and self care contribute to a person’s overall well-being, both mentally and physically.
With that being said, it’s time to talk about some ways we can do just that! Shea butter has so many benefits. Adding it to your daily routine is a must!
Nothing makes me feel more beautiful than when I’m wearing a new rosy blush or defining mascara. Hello lashes! Have you ever heard of the “lipstick effect?” Until recently, I hadn’t either, but there is a psychological phenomenon where individuals experience a confidence boost, feeling more physically attractive, when wearing makeup. I think everyone could use a boost every now and then, especially stay-at-home moms, like myself.
Ever since becoming a mother, using natural products has been on my radar and my preference MO. With your skin being the largest organ on your body, I find it imperative to pay attention to what goes on my body (and inside for that matter). A company called Rejuva Minerals contacted me about trying out their custom toxin-free makeup kit. After researching that they are a chemical-free makeup brand that offers natural products, many of them organic, I couldn’t resist!
I can attest to the fact that being a mother is the hardest job I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t you agree? Definitely the most rewarding job by far, but certainly very challenging and requiring much patience. There are no lunch breaks, vacations and even going to the bathroom comes with an audience.
That’s why I depend on great products to get me through the day! I recently discovered the natural clay deodorant, Adama Minerals by Zion Health, and it’s awesome! For starters it works! That’s very important as one doesn’t want to walk around smelling like a hippie! Secondly, it isn’t packed full of toxins like aluminum, parabens and synthetic fragrances, found in many deodorants.
Whether it’s the scorching sun rays or the chilly winter breeze, your face and skin sure do take a beating. One of the fastest ways to speed up the aging process is to neglect your skin’s protection from harsh weather conditions.
EarthSun Organics makes a line of products that help protect and detoxifies your skin. Their secret – zeolite! Zeolite, a natural volcanic mineral, traps and eliminates unwanted toxins from the body. EarthSun Organics uses natural and organic ingredients. You can be confident you’re not slathering on any toxic junk on your skin.
Hair – can really change your appearance (for better or worse). Whether it’s a color or style, your hair can make or break your look. I had the pleasure of testing out Formulate’s personalized shampoo and conditioner. I have been using this product for about six weeks, and the results have been phenomenal. Formulate has completely transformed my hair, making it appear shinier and more manageable. What makes Formulate stand out from traditional store-bought brands, is the fact it’s totally customizable and based on your hair and scalp needs. I never knew this type of service existed!!
