OK, YEAH. I know it seems kinda ridiculous, but getting myself somewhat ready, even while working from home and being fully in mom life, has been such a boost for the me lately. But here’s the trick: I set my timer for 3 MINUTES. Why? Because I can’t talk myself out of it.

I DO TOO have 3 minutes to spend on myself, even on the craziest days. This is yet another example of how sometimes I still have an ALL OR NOTHING mentality creep in: telling myself OH WHAT’S THE POINT if I can’t do it fully or “properly”? But THAT mindset is what can be so dangerous to listen too. Because small things DO matter. Now, especially so, more than ever.

They all add up. It’s not about the TIME SPENT necessarily, it’s about an energetic shift that happens when you do. Whether that’s pulling yourself together for the day, a workout, some extra veggies snuck into a meal, or a few minutes of breathing.

DON’T LET YOURSELF TELL YOURSELF IT’S NOT WORTH IT. Because it is. And you are.

And changing that MINDSET is the only way to keep living a healthy lifestyle that lasts, through all the ups and downs of life.

So practice it whenever you can. Catch yourself. Because being healthy requires re-wiring how we’re THINKING, and daily. OK WHO’S WITH ME ON THIS TODAY? LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW IF YOU AGREE!

Some of the things I mentioned above:

Mineral Fusion BB Cream

Ilia Mascara

Ilia Multi Stick  

W3ll People Bronzer Stick

W3ll People Bronzer Powder

Primally Pure Dry Shampoo (dark locks for me)

    This is so helpful! The last thing to go is my Lancome mascara so I will try Ilia! I didn’t see a link for the liquid liner you use?
    Thank you!!

  2. Ilia’s mascara is the ultimate! Have you tried Suntegrity’s tinted moisturizer with SPF? I love that one too.
