What do you mama's do everyday to look and feel your best?
I am really trying to look my best. I am transitioning from maternity leave to working full time.
Lately, I have been getting shellac manicure's every 3 weeks along with brow threading.
I wear a light face of make up daily; mascara, (sometimes) eyeliner, concealer, light powder, blush and some kind of lip products.
I like to put togther an outfit I feel good and confident in, I have been looking at Pinterest for inspo and updating my clothes too.
I have long hair and I only like get a hair cut every 6 months
I do skin care every night along with a luxurious shower, remove make up, glycol acid, wash face, then apply retinol, moisturizer and if I am extra dry apply a layer of vaseline. In the morning I rinse my face with water and apply. vitamin c, moisturizer and starting with sunscreen too.
I am religious about getting my teeth cleaned every 6 months.
I am really wanting to begin working out but I haven't found the time for that in my schedule just yet.

Mentally, journaling and meditation with a cup of coffee on the porch every morning before I get my kids out of bed.
Physically, nothing feels better than shaving, exfoliating, and moisturizing my legs and then hopping in my freshly made bed and rubbing my legs together like a cricket š

I started doing a light fake tan, waxing, occasionally getting fake lashes so I dont have to spend as much of my precious free time on how I look as i dont ever have time or energy for makeup and shaving anymore lmao
The wax/tan I can do myself for cheap which is a bonus!
There is a gym in town that has a daycare as part of the membership ive been seriously considering shelling out for that as well lol

I recently got a major hair chop (6 inches) and love it sooo much. Iāve also been maintaining consistency with working out/strength training (love ps fit videos on YouTube) and trying to eat more things like raw nuts and fruit. My little ātreatā are the electrolyte packets I add to my water after a work out. Was never Ā big drinker but I havenāt had a drop in probably almost a year and donāt plan to ever really drink again.Ā

Look my best: I brush my hair, take a shower, and go on stroller walks. That's about it lol.
Feel my best: try to embrace the joy i get being present with my baby as much as I can before going back to work. I practice gratefulness daily- i have so much to be thankful for.
Simplicity where I can get it makes me happy.
