Ok moms, is it just me, or is the back-to-school routine with extra curricular activities EXHAUSTING?? 😩 Here are some of my tips for feeling you’re best even though some days, you might want to cry: Tip #1: Set your alarm clock 30 mins earlier than you usually do. Take this time to do something nice for yourself. Whether it’s drinking hot water with lemon in peace or doing some deep breathing, carve out that extra time in the day just for you and your sanity. Tip #2: Commit yourself to putting on at the very least a little lip gloss and blush before you walk out the door. We often do absolutely everything for everyone else in our households yet tend to forget that it’s important to feel our best and start the day on the right foot too! Tip #3: Find 2-3 staple outfits that suit the season and make you feel somewhat stylish. Having some ideas in my head of fast, comfortable, easy wardrobe choices that also are on trend helps take the guesswork out of what to put on each day. An hour scrolling through Pinterest can help with this 😉 Tip #4: Teach your kids that once they’ve had their breakfast, are dressed for school and their belongings for the day are all packed up that you’re going to have a little “you” time to get organized. If you set clear boundaries, they will go into their play area or watch a 15 minute show and allow you to get dressed, brush your teeth, style your hair and put on a tiny bit of makeup without asking you for a million snacks throughout the process. Tip #5: Find products in your beauty routine that are fast, fool-proof, easy to use and have a big impact. Some of my faves in the AM are our serum and moisturizer, our cream blushes, Browmance brow gel and Coquette LipSlick. I can throw together a 5 min face in an instant and walk out the door feeling like “me”.! My hope for you this school year is that you don’t forget about taking care of you. It’s certainly easy to do, but you’ll be a better mother and role-model for your kids if you teach them that you matter. • • • • #momlife #momsofinstagram #tipsformoms #backtoschool #beautytips #style
