Self care bits

Following to see answers, I keep promising myself to do things for myself and I never do. So keen to hear what others are doing

I used a semi permanent eyelash tint and curl home kit from LUX recently. Takes about an hour in total and is very easy. Defo makes me feel more put together without any daily effort!

I get my hair done every 12 weeks and it's something I will try so hard to be able to keep affording because it's great to have that treat. I also exercise every day, because mentally it makes me feel so great. I do 30 minutes maximum at home, but it's that time for me. My daughter is happy to watch me, so it's not hard to fit it in

I do something as simple as doing a skincare routine before bed, I use Liz Earle stuff. It’s the most expensive thing I get for myself and I sometimes ask for it as a birthday/Christmas prezzie from my husband so it lasts longer. But honestly, it really helps me feel a bit more human and bit more refreshed at the end of a day!

I always wear perfume, every day, even if I wear no makeup! I also do a skincare routine and when I get the time do makeup but honestly perfume is the most consistent thing I do!

I get my nails done every 4 weeks. I get my hair dyed roughly every 3-4 months (I’m going grey and look like a badger 🤣) I also get massages as post partem rehab as I’m struggling with backache. Sounds like a lot but I really try to keep it up to make me feel good about myself! Happy Mum happy baby…

I tint my own eyebrows every few weeks and have at-home lash extensions from Tatti Lashes. Now I've mastered them, they're super quick and usually last me between 2-3 weeks. Makes me feel much more put together even on non makeup, hair slicked back into a mum bun days. I get my nails done every 3 weeks, my nails lady is amazing and let's me being my little girl who lives chatting away to her. I also get my hair cut and blow dried every 8 weeks. A bit of me time and the chance for a hot cuppa and chinwag.
