When i became a mom most of my peers were not married yet and had not started having children. It is easy to fall into the trap of constantly comparing yourself to your peers to see if you are okay.
Growth has taught me to enjoy the process i am in now! We often compare a lot and frustrate ourselves unnecessarily yet for every season you are in is a miracle and worth celebrating!
Knowing which season you are in is important so you do not lose sight of the important things in your life and give the best you can give each moment.
Let me share a mom self care kit that could make your life much easier and enjoyable.
You love parenting although there are days when you are exhausted and do not feel good about anything even your parenting skilks! Here is a quick reminder what you can include on mom self care kit to remind yourself the amazing role youhave.
These make getting ready in the mornings so much easier than trying to catch up on the days you have not taken much self care into practise.
A woman naturally loves to look good and feel feminine. We may suppress it but it pushes to manifest. We want to look good, effortlessly and still give the best of ourselves to our families while looking great.
Mom's love kit ( The love basket)
1. Oil it!
I love using natural oils because they bring life into your skin tone. It is common as moms that our time is very limited and doing a lengthy self care routine might not work for all of us. It is good to be realistic and find creative ways to groom smarter in less time. You can oil your face, lips and hair. This works for oily, dry and combination skin types.
Natural oils have a way of plumping your skin with a natural glowing effect. Do try oiling your skin twice a day.
2. The best facial cleanser
I have this amazing facial cleanser that i love so much. It smells like heaven and its from INUKA Fragrances. I love how it is so smooth on the skin and leaves your face feeling really fresh and clean.
Find a cleanser that will not make you need to supplement with other products. Let it be a good facial cleanser which works best o your skin by itself. Add an exfoliation cleanser you can use once or twice a week. Its really good for your budget too mommy!
A good cleanser saves you time, effort and money. You will not find the need to supplement with other products.
3. Tissue oil and body butter
Let us face it mommas, our skin has been through a lot! It has been stretched, it needs patience and daily adequate moisture to keep it looking good. When you take care of your Skin consistently it helps you save time because your skin is well taken care of. You will find getting ready in the mornings such a joy and effortless.
I usually start with tissue oil while my skin is damp then i add some body butter. I now understand why the call it body butter! It does make the skin feel and look like butter.
4. Vaseline
Vaseline will never go out of style for me! It has so many benefits ladies from keeping your children beautifully moisturised to taking care of certain skin ailments.
Whenever i discovered i had a rash on my skin i would cleanse it well at night before bed then apply some blue seal original vaseline as my night cream and i would wake the next morning with such a big difference in my appearance.
Our preferences may differ and what really works for you keep it in your mom kit Queen.
5. Lovely nails
Whether you do them yourself or go to the nail salon they really make a difference in your overall appearance. Having neat nails helps getting ready for work, events or whatever gathering so much easier.
You can simply keep them nice and short but clean or get them polishedtoo.
This can help you get some time to unwind and go to the nail salon to have your nails done. It gets you out of the house while you do something pretty for yourself mom.
Sometimes finances may not permit that, that is an opportunity to be creative. It is really lovely to have something unique. Look up for creative ways to keep your nails neat and groomed on the internet.
6. The Eyebrow shaper
Shaped eyebrows really make a big difference in your overall appearance. There was a time i kept my eyebrows bushy and full but i would brush them daily to get them to look nice and pretty.
This one depends on the kind of look you would like too.
If you are not too sure how to shape your eyebrows then get them professionally done. You will immediately notice the facelift it gives you.
7. Gorgeous fitting Underwear
Great underwear goes a long way it even improves the way your clothes look on you.
Let us talk about a fitting bra. If you are a D cup like myself yet you have an athletic body finding a good fitting bra can be quite challenging. Learn about your bra size. Lets make an example i take into consideration my under bust size 32 and Cup size is D. If you have a smaller bust, your size is An A or B cup.
If you have a small body and a big bust. You do not have to purchase a bigger band size ( measurement around your bust)
Find places where you can fit a bra if you are not sure of your size yet, it is worth the trial.
9. Quality fitting clothes
You know the ladies who always appear like they just stepped out of a magazine. They wear fitted clothes, if their clothes are bought from the shop they still alter them to fit their shape.
Quality also goes a long way, play around with thrift and brand new timeless pieces. They last longer and immediately give you a gorgeous appearance.
When quality is compromised you work much harder to look good.
I watch my girls take particular interest in looking really good. They love dresses and colourful well fitting clothes. This makes a lady feminine, taking care of her appearance.
10. Hair
Taking good care of your hair makes a big difference in your appearance too. While you take your bath or after your bath comb out your hair and moisturise it with hair oils and hair food. Do this before bed and see how good it looks the next day.
My short natural hair looks so good because i oil and comb it before bed. I wear a head scarf too to retain moist and keep it clean and fresh.
This makes a big difference in the mornings when i get ready for work with our children demanding attention too.
BONUS
11. Invest in a good perfume
You deserve a scent that makes you feel as good as you deserve to feel. A good scent has the ability to bring you to a stare of being in the moment and brings certain memories too.
Spoil yourself once a while!
That is my mom beauty self care kit that i hope will inspire you too and remind you how gorgeous and wonderful you are. Take time to yourself, be kind to yourself and know you are the right person for your mom role.
