Motherhood & Beauty: Finding that Balance

Hey, beauts. I know that a lot of my readers are Mothers and so I just had to reach out and do this post. I know that as a Mother, it is hard to get everything done that you have to while trying to fit in everything that you want to. I also know how easy it is to lose yourself along the way. 

My oldest just turned 7 years old last month, and during that time I have had many personal ups and downs. Most of which having to pertain to my self body-image/beauty. I still struggle with feelings of insecurity, that's just part of my nature. I try to find ways to embrace that and still feel really good about myself. When I don't overthink things, I'm better off. Aren't we all?

I think that we all, as individuals, have to find happiness however/wherever we can. When you think about the big picture, the spilled chocolate milk on your floor doesn't amount to much. De-stress by letting things go and watch the natural beauty unfold. 

Being beautiful starts with being confident in yourself. You could wear all the makeup in the world but if you aren't feeling good about yourself - it is going to show through all of that. Feeling blue? Ask yourself - What can I do for myself today? You might not be able to allow for much "me time" but you really should take a few minutes out of each day to "do you". 

Try meditating or drinking a cup of soothing green tea. If that doesn't do it for you, do some retail therapy. Treating myself to a little something always perks me up a bit. Also, try your best to designate a spot for yourself, where you can go and be alone for a bit and collect your thoughts. Start a journal or a blog, so that you can vent and who knows - you might discover a new-found love for writing. You might even be really good at it! Listen to music, but try to stay away from the emotional trigger songs. Get a massage or take a nice, warm, bubble bath. Whatever you decide to do - make sure you are doing it for you. Because you deserve it. Don't let anyone (including yourself) tell you any different.

What are some ways that you find the balance for combining Motherhood with Beauty? Comment below!

15 Randoms About Myself

Good morning, beauties! I was just reflecting over my entries and realized that I have not really done an introductory post to tell you all a little about myself. No time like the present, right? So, let's get to it. These will be in no particular order, just listed randomly as they come to my mind.

1. It takes me eight minutes to do my makeup. No matter what look i'm going for, or what products I am using, eight minutes seems to be my constant. This is good for me because I do not have a lot of time to spend on getting all doll'd up.

2. I am a stay(work) at home mom to two great kids. One of which is in second grade and the other starts preschool - tomorrow. I'm going to try to not cry.

3. It does not take much to make me happy. I find that the most simplest of things give me the most joy. Ergo, i'm not high maintenance. 

4. I am a beautiful hot mess in the sense of organization. I really need to buckle down and get things more on a routine and schedule. I'll gladly accept any tips on fun ways to get organized.

5. My husband is my high school sweetheart. We are all each other has ever known and I find that to be ridiculously romantic. Even if most days comfort has clearly moved in, the butterflies are still there.

6. My anxiety does get the best of me, on some days. I'm working toward techniques and other things to get the panic in check - one step at a time, right? I am my own worst enemy that much is fore sure.

7. I have been losing the battle with insomnia as of late. I have no issue in falling asleep, but I cannot seem to stay asleep. Well, hello there coffee.

8. On December 29th, it will be one year since I quit smoking cigarettes. I did it by vaping and still get some nicotine but have lowered the level and soon will be nicotine free. 

9. I love wearing glasses. Although, in the Summer months I would love to just rock a pair of stylish sunnies, contacts have never been that comfortable for me. I'm all about the comfort, really. I have thought about getting them once again though as I have found it challenging to do certain makeup looks since I have to get "nose-to-nose" with the mirror.

10. I'm having a blast as an AVON Independent Sales Representative. I'm learning so much about myself in terms of confidence and business savvy. I may still be new to the beauty biz but i'm here to learn and grow and enjoy ever minute of the journey. 

11. Speaking of learning and growing - I may not be the best at blogging, but just like some days are better than others - so are my entries. I am a work in progress and so is my beauty blog. Stay with me and beautiful things will develop!

12. I'm the crazy sunscreen lady at the beach, swimming pool, outdoors in general. I am the one chasing my kids around with the SPF! I will not apologize for it, either. I think that skin health/awareness is not taken seriously enough. 

13. I much rather give gifts in place of receiving them. I get the biggest kick out of watching someone open something that I know they will truly enjoy or that is an inside joke. It makes me genuinely feel good to give someone something, even if it does not cost one cent.

14. Yellow is my favorite color, but I do not like to wear it. I don't think its a good color for me to wear in clothing. I do love me some yellow colored accessories like handbags, shoes, jewelry, etc. My dream car is a yellow Ford Mustang. **sighs**

15. If you ask me to keep something a secret, I will. Unless, that is to say, it could cause you or someone else harm. Then and only then will I break the pinky promise.

Well, beauts - that's 15! I thank you kindly for reading. If you feel compelled to share to your social media sites, thank you for that as well!
