Here are two pieces of advice I have for you if you want to be happy and healthy. Drink water and learn how to breathe. It’s that simple. Well, it should be simple but it’s not. I have to remind myself to do both constantly. But when I do it’s shocking how good I feel. By just drinking more water and learning how to breathe to relieve anxiety, effectively.
I’m starting a blog series called Be Happy Be Healthy. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do mainly because I knew it would motivate me. I hope it does the same for you.
As a busy mother of three, time is of the essence in everything I do so I knew I wanted to avoid complicated/expensive/time-consuming methods. I want the simple and effective route.
Fact about me: I don’t wear makeup anymore. Another fact about me: I should. Sleep deprivation, the inability to stick to a healthy diet and lack of exercise is taking its toll on my skin. Of course the ramifications are psychological too so when I look in the mirror I am not happy with the face staring back at me. Seeing as a good night sleep won’t be taking place anytime soon and exercising is not in the foreseeable future, I am investing in some makeup and most importantly, great makeup tips because I can be incredibly lazy when it comes to it. So with the help of two mama friends who always look impeccable and obviously love makeup, I have put together a list of basic makeup tips/products for lazy mothers.
The other day a family friend looked at my bump and said the nicest thing: Wow! Such a cute little belly. You look great! I was caught off-guard because usually people are quick to note that I look huge but I gave her a big smile, said thank you and went on to explain that as this is my third pregnancy I feel I have become an expert in ‘dressing the bump’.
Maybe its because I haven’t had a regular waistline in over two years or because there is simply no room to experiment with clothes when you’re pregnant but lately I have a newfound respect for jewelry. Whether it’s gold or silver, delicate or slightly chunky I am loving this new vibe I’m feeling right now.
