Why Self Care is a Lifetime Discipline

It’s important to realize that self care is something that we must be diligent about year-round in order to be our best selves – especially when Mother’s Day is near.

Why is it that as busy moms we have to constantly remind ourselves to stop and take care of our needs? As a whole, I feel like our society sends moms very mixed signals. We must be self-sacrificing and put everyone else first. However, we also must make sure that we look a certain way and live up to very high expectations of beauty and health, and quite frankly – it’s exhausting and unattainable.

Balance is key, but I have found that it means something different each day. We have to learn to roll with the punches and make sure the important stuff is done, everything else can wait.

This brings me to today’s topic of self care and making it an achievable part of your everyday life. And as always, I’m super excited to share a few favorite products that will help you do just that.

Why Self Care is a Lifetime Discipline

In my opinion, we have to put more emphasis on making self care a lifetime discipline, not just something we do every Sunday.

Here’s why: without taking care of yourself, consistently, you are going to start resenting those around us who we are putting first, 100% of the time. It’s just a fact and yes, hearing the words “self-care” all the time can be annoying, but they are repeating so much in today’s society because for too long moms haven’t been doing it.

Boom. Drops mic.

Here are a few important ways to get into the habit of making your self care a priority:

1. Don’t neglect wash day.

Girl, I know that dry shampoo is awesome, but nothing compares to the real thing. Get yourself in that shower, make it a regular date with yourself and add Roux® Weightless Precious Oils Luminous Shampoo, Roux® Weightless Precious Oils Softening Conditioner, and Roux® Weightless Precious Oils Restorative Hair Masque to your routine NOW! This awesome regimen works together to cleanse, moisturize, smooth, and control frizz without adding Sulfates, Silicones, or Mineral Oil.

2. Have a favorite lip gloss handy.

There is nothing like the feeling of rubbing your lips together when you apply a fresh layer of lip gloss. Amiright? And a little pop of color just brightens up your whole look. Get in the habit of having Fruit Smoothie Lip Gloss from Erin’s Faces handy! I am loving the color pictures, it’s called Jewel. This organic lip gloss was developed by NYC makeup artist, Erin Williams, in 2011 and delivers hydration and gorgeous color at the same time. And as an added bonus, the container is easily recyclable.

3. Make time for a good book.

Reading a great page-turner every night before bed needs to become the norm in our lives again, not just something we do every once in a while. The Woman with the Blue Star by Pam Jenoff from Park Row Books is a wonderful choice to add to your library as it tells the story of friendship, strength, and the human will to survive. It is truly a book that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and not want to put down!

4. Soak. In. The. Tub.

I’ll admit that I need to make this more of a weekly thing instead of just a monthly thing. However, the power of relaxation and taking care of our skin is real. Whenever you get the time to soak and pamper yourself, make sure you include Botanical Bath Soaking Salts, Flower Water Facial Mists and Floral Bath Rose & Lavender Soaking Salts Pack With Reusable Sachet from A Loyal Society. This clean skincare line (which you all know is super important to me!) works together to uplift your mood, helps you get better sleep, and is an overall luxurious way to uplevel bath time.

5. Have a great anti-aging product as part of your skincare regimen.

A great anti-aging product is everything because no one wants to spend time looking in the mirror and examining their wrinkles. It’s better to be proactive and not worry about it. This hyaluronic acid face serum from Vichy is everything that you’re looking for in a pretty bottle. Their LiftActiv Supreme H.A. Wrinkle Corrector is formulated with 1.5% pure hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and Vichy Volcanic Water to plump skin for a visible filling effect – all in just 6 short weeks!
