How To Spoil a Mom

February 23, 2015 · In: BABY, Beauty, Uncategorized

IMG_3813-1-2Here are a few luxuries for any woman who wants to treat herself.  

Soon after Grant was born (8.5 months ago), showering was my first luxury. This was followed by shaving, giving myself a good blow out and eventually things like haircuts and pedicures.

Well, people, I’m moving into a world of spoiling myself again and here are my latest favorites!!!

I finally bought myself a Volcano candle from Anthropologie…before only as gifts!

NARS blush in Desire (blue pink). 

Tarte BB Cream for a “daily” easy look. “I woke up like this.”

The softest, most stylish pajamas I’ve ever had from Maison Du Soir. They pack up so small and and light. PERFECT for our upcoming vacation. Now I can stop dressing like a Yeti at least one night a week. This top will also be seen as daywear with jeans! HA!

Caudalie. Real eye/lip antiaging cream and I actually use it daily (probably because it was like a million dollars).

What are you spoiling yourself with? If not, what do you want!? 

P.S. Did a quick overhaul yesterday of the design. Thought about it a lot and then sped through the nuts and bolts. Needs a bit of work but what do you think?

      Hi, Nancy! Congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting! I was never into cruising until I met my husband. We have been on many now (Caribbean and Europe). It was our babymoon too! It was great with a baby…just keep in mind what stage your baby is in…my latest post.lol Really it’s always fun. I hope you do it!

    I really like the new look, I think it captures your blog well!
    I think it’s good to treat ourselves once in a while. I bought myself a pair of skinny jeans and a cute key print top in the UK, and a natural fragrance by Pacifica, because I am allergic to synthetic fragrance — which unfortunately also rules out lots of gorgeous candles, which is a realy bummer because like you, I love a good candle!
    The pjs are so cute, and the tee will definitely look cute with jeans and boots.
    Here’s to the small luxuries! 🙂

      Yes, Elisa, CHEERS to that! Thank you for the blog design compliments as well! Yes, I really enjoy the Pacifica scents. They do an excellent job!

      It’s funny, I went to a trunk show at a boutique featuring different designers where I met Courtney of MDS and she wears her loungewear line as day wear. SOLD! HA! It gives new meaning to “day to night” outfit! lol I like the boots idea!

    You totally deserve some pampering since you’ve been in total Mommy mode. Beauty products are my preferred mode of spoiling too. I’ve been spoiling myself with rich handcreams, snail lip balm and sheet masks lately. I like the cleaner look of your redesign Christina.

      Thank you, Rowena! SNAIL lip balm!!!??? AHHHHH I am so curious! I would love to have a look at your bathroom cabinet. I remember my mom always having some kind of mask in her cabinets growing up. She would even make them out of tissue and then a mixture that included egg!

Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherho Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherhood stress comes from and what I’m doing that’s made me so much happier.

This is for my overachievers!

Once I realized what was going on underneath all of the over planning and prevention, I found a way to relax more.

Comment read and I’ll send it to you.
I had to believe that no matter what I was looking I had to believe that no matter what I was looking at in front of me (a dusty ranch style house that looked like an abandoned outpost), this could be my dream house. 

I kept reassuring myself that it could happen even though I had no idea how that would be possible unless I completely rebuilt the house.

Then I let it just sort of appear as I kept staring at the house.

Staring as a big part of having the vision come to you.

It took many years, but I’m very excited to come down the driveway each day.

paint and lime wash were absolutely transformational for the exterior renovation. 

As we play around the house, or drink coffee outside, I look at the house fondly and appreciate the beauty and how it serves us. 

Changing your beliefs we’ll set off a chain reaction for beautiful things to come.
Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you. I decided Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you.

I decided it was time to focus on my health so I started exercising and by week 3 I was quitting-this is from someone who used to be in the military and loves fitness.

Being a mom is different!

I decided to start with mindset. I did a specific technique and weight loss started and just got easier.

Being healthy became automatic.

I didn’t need more hours in the day and it wasn’t another job to add to my list.
I started this window treatment transformation yea I started this window treatment transformation years ago and I’ve been avoiding this part ever since. 

I finally ordered this curtain rod from the same company in a different size, but the color ended up being the wrong “gold/brass” tone.

Then I ordered these curtains and the color is not at all how I expected. I was thinking fresh spring and these have a dustier tone. Gorgeous just not the same vibe I had imagined.

It’s taking imperfect action that gives you clarity.

I could scroll until the cows came home but I just had to start with something physical I could look at and decide if it was a go or not.

Tell me what you think in the comments! I’llsend you all the details of this project.
This summer I took a break from keeping up with my This summer I took a break from keeping up with my own high expectations and then a newsletter that I write in the margins of my life ended up on a list with authors I’ve admired for years.

Coincidence?

“Top 100 Rising in Faith and Spirituality,” on Substack.
For a hot second I was a list with the author of Eat, Pray, Love! What!

I have to constantly retrain my mind to know that good things happen no matter what. I don’t have to toil to have what I want.

Yes, we have to signal to the world what we want to attract but it doesn’t have to feel like a burden. 

We create the reality we experience.

What would you allow yourself to receive if you believed that you were allowed to rest?
