... Read moreBecoming a first-time mom is an incredible journey filled with a whirlwind of emotions and experiences. While it’s natural to face moments when you simply don’t feel like tackling certain tasks, embracing these feelings as part of life’s ebb and flow can be empowering. Life, with all its unpredictability, truly keeps things interesting and meaningful. From the excitement of milestone moments to the exhaustion that sometimes sneaks in, I’ve learned that giving myself permission to feel whatever comes up is essential. It’s okay not to be perfect every day; life isn’t about perfection but persistence and love. Vlogging or journaling these daily experiences not only helps in processing emotions but also connects you with others going through similar phases. The key takeaway? Don’t be hard on yourself. Celebrate the wins, share your stories honestly, and remember that life is always 'lifeing'—full of surprises, joys, and challenges. This mindset has helped me appreciate the small moments and find strength in my journey as a first-time mom.

A hand holds a purple EOS Shea Better 24H Moisture Body Lotion bottle, with text overlays 'EOS RANT!', 'SWIPE FOR MORE', and 'Read caption for explanation'. The bottle is labeled 'vanilla cashmere'.

Just to preface, this is my all time favorite lotion ever and I will continue to buy it regardless… HOWEVER - Every single bottle I’ve purchased (many at this point) eventually requires unscrewing the cap and beating the rest of the lotion out like it’s a bottle of ketchup. The problem is that t

It seems like the more fit I get, the more people offer their opionos on my body. “Don’t get too skinny.” “Dont get too muscular.” “Did you gain some weight back?” “You’ve lost too much weight.” I know that most of the time these things aren’t said with ill intention. But I would
