Self Confidence Is A Stone’s Throw Away
Collaborative Post¦ As a mum, self confidence is not always going to our strong suit. As soon as our bodies change during pregnancy, there’s no going back. Well, some mums seem to bounce back to their normal bodies, or perhaps even better than they ever used to be. But for the majority of mums, their bodies become a major insecurity. You can’t help but wish for this baby free young adult body that you used to have. Yes, you might have the precious love of a baby take make up for it, but sometimes we just want to feel beautiful again.

3 things in 15 minutes to feel more “you”, less “mum”
As wonderful as motherhood is, a lot does change and that takes some adjusting to! I often find myself putting on the same combinations of jeans and t-shirts or jumpers each day. Once I’ve finished work, I slap on some concealer and foundation, quickly put a brush through my hair and rush off to collect Autumn from her childminder. With all the additional things to do in my daily life, I’ve definitely not taken care of myself as much. I’ve been meaning to paint my nails for weeks now, but they’re still bare. Does this sound like you?
It’s so important as mums to give ourselves a bit of self care, in whatever form that comes. This post is about 3 things I do to feel a bit more like “myself” in 15 minutes and hopefully it will inspire you too! After all, surely 15 minutes is achievable every once in a while?
Review: Esqido Gin & Tonic Lashes
I’ve been a big fan of false eyelashes for years now. Occasionally I wear them in the day, but I mostly wear them for a special occasion or if I’m going out somewhere. With some lashes, I feel a little too aware that I’m wearing them and sometimes they look too much or too little. When Esqido approached me to try out some of their lashes, I was intrigued.
