Being a mom is probably the hardest job out there. We literally wear 37 different hats in one day! Ranging from chef to taxi driver and doctor to teacher, we somehow manage to do it ALL! And not only do it all, but with confidence!
I have been thinking a lot lately about the phrase “Beautiful Imperfection” and what it not only means to me, but what it means to all of us, as women. As wives, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, friends, neighbors and employees, it is sometimes easy to get lost in our “imperfections.”
But I have come to the conclusion that really, our “imperfections,” whatever we see those being, are what makes us beautiful. How boring life would be if we were all the same! Our strengths make us who we are and our weaknesses can even make us stronger.
As busy women, it can be tricky to feel beautiful when we haven’t had time to wash our hair in five days and we are on day three of wearing the same leggings and tee that now have stains from the baby’s diaper, the toddler’s paint, the meals that we’ve made and the cookies we tried to bake.
BUT, today we have five super simple ways that you can find the beauty in your everyday life, so you can recognize that even though we may make mistakes or not have time to check everything off our to-do lists, that you ARE beautiful! Because I know that when you FEEL beautiful, you ARE beautiful!
1. WAKE UP EARLY: Get up and get moving! It is so easy to lay in bed and get just a “few” more minutes of sleep. But often times those “few” minutes can turn into much longer than expected. So get up. Take a shower. Go for a walk. Do something to get yourself out of bed and start your day off right.
2. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF:This is SO important. Although you may be thinking you don’t have ANY time for yourself, I can’t express the importance of loving who you are. Brush your hair. Put on make up. Take a bath. Read a book. Do something YOU love.
3. DO YOUR VERY BEST: As long as you are trying YOUR very best, that is all that matters. Don’t compare yourself to others and don’t think you have to be “as good as” your friend next door. As long as you are doing what you can, that makes you beautiful.
4. FOCUS ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Don’t focus on your long list of things to do – focus on your things you HAVE done! You woke up? You made breakfast? Your kids are still alive and happy? All is well.
5. SHOW OFF THAT SMILE: A quote from one of my favorite movies, “You’re never fully dressed without a smile!” When we smile – we feel happier. When we are happier, we feel more beautiful.
I am SO excited to share a fabulous product with all of you ladies that I LOVE and I know you will to! This product can truly make you not only look better, but FEEL better across all aspects of life. It is…. AVEENO® DAILY MOISTURIZING SHEER HYDRATION LOTION! Ladies, have you tried this stuff before?! Next time you are at Target {which I know you ladies! And I know you spend a lot of time there like me! 😉 } you NEED to pick some of this up!
AVEENO® DAILY MOISTURIZING SHEER HYDRATION LOTION is a naturally hydrating, ultra sheer lotion that absorbs in seconds, for a fresh, powder like feel you’ll want to use year round. The unique formula with ACTIVE NATURALS® Oat goes on feather-light to replenish and hydrate your skin. AVEENO® DAILY MOISTURIZING SHEER HYDRATION LOTION moisturizes for a full 24 hours, for velvety soft, beautiful, healthy-looking skin.
It is non-greasy, fragrance free and non-comedogenic too! It really locks in moisture and helps prevent dry skin returning! AND living in this dry dessert, that is HIGHLY important around here!
The AVEENO® brand is most trusted for its use of natural ingredients. Oat is the natural ingredient most recommended by dermatologists. As a skin protectant active ingredient, oatmeal can help restore skin’s normal pH and aid in the maintenance of skin’s moisture barrier to help prevent and protect dry skin.
Their lotion gives my skin so much hydration, I only put it on once a day {normally right after my shower} and it keeps my skin feeling so soft all day long!
I hope as we go throughout our daily routines, we will be able to not only focus on our imperfections, but recognizing them as actual things that make us BEAUTIFUL. Because each of us has our own beautiful imperfections and that is why YOU are beautiful!
