... Read moreAs a mom myself, I've noticed that parenting is a constant phase of change, not just for the kids but also for ourselves. When it comes to beauty products, the phase where you run out of your regular items can actually become a mini adventure. You start exploring a wider range of products that are often more specialized or luxurious than before. This shift usually happens because your priorities change – you seek products that are not only effective but also feel like a little treat or boost in your busy day. For many moms, like those in communities such as #momsoftiktok and #mothersanddaughters, this phase is about taking back some moments of self-care within the whirlwind of #momlife. It’s common to discover that certain skin and hair products cater specifically to tired or stressed moms, which can feel more expensive but also more rewarding. I remember when I ran out of my usual moisturizer and decided to try something new that was touted for its calming benefits during stressful days. It was pricier but gave me a noticeable difference. It made me realize the importance of investing in quality beauty products that support my well-being. This change isn't just about vanity; it’s about self-care and resilience in motherhood. If you’re in this phase, consider it an opportunity to explore and treat yourself – whether that means splurging on a good serum, trying a calming face mask, or simply refreshing your makeup kit. Sharing experiences, like in the #over30club, can empower other moms to find their own balance between budget and beauty. Remember, having 'all the goodies' is not just about products, but about embracing the little joys that come with caring for yourself while managing the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

i got tattoos right as i turned 18✨
which, probably was not the smartest idea. i had hills and hills of ideas that i wanted done, but really no thought to them besides the fact that i “wanted” them so badly. this of course, leads to the conclusion that i do have tattoos that i regret; although not many, still some. - “euphoria” |
