Hello Beautiful Mamas and Ladies!

Please let me start by saying that this list does not in any way help you get your kids ready in the morning. I am also not blind to the fact that unless you get up before them you may still not be able to get ready. I have CRAZY mornings with 4 little kids and one on the way and I do not get to do all of the things I want to get ready every day.

However, I have found these things have been making it much easier for me to feel put together somewhat. So here we go!

Hair Dryer Brush

This thing is a game changer for me. I feel like it cut down dry time by like 15 minutes and if you have ready any other posts, you may know I struggle with postpartum hair loss. So I don’t feel like I have a ton of hair anyway. I have seen other people talk about these things too and they can get great blowout-like hair styling from it. Now I have naturally coarse, frizzy hair and it is hard for me to achieve that kind of smooth without a hot tool to smooth it down. I also am dealing with a lot of little hairs that are growing back in so they are slightly hard to manage with this brush. But all in all, I think it is worth it. I will link the one I have but I think that there may be better ones. Mine seems great but a slightly smaller one might be better for some purposes.

Plaine Products Styling Gel

This stuff is great. It is a clean product and the company has metal bottles so you can return them. It smooths my frizz, helps my hair curl and allows me to leave it without doing anything. A win for days we are running behind and all I get to do is shower.

IT Cosmetics Foundation

Ok like I said before I am really interested in clean products but I haven’t fully moved over to everything clean. This powder covers all my issues on my face. I rarely wear make-up these days (pandemic anyone?) but if I do I feel better when it actually makes my skin look even. I love that it is buildable but also I struggle slightly with getting it everywhere equally. Still a win for a woman who has no time and wants to actually look presentable in the morning!

Sweatpants!

This seems so damn obvious given the state the world is in. Screw pants! Unless you have to go to work then I get it, but working from home and now being a stay at home mom, all I need is a nice, soft pair of sweats. Also if you don’t feel frumpy in them, they can be dressed up a little. In a sporty way. But a form fitting pair is kind of like leggings without them being so stuck to you. Anything you like will do but here are some that I like.

Castor Oil

For me and my mostly never wearing make-up days, oil is great. It cleans the gunk off at night and I just wipe it all with water and a washcloth. I also use it as a base to be add frankincense, tea tree and neem oil for acne and anti-aging. You can get a squalene oil which is excellent for moisturizing or you can do vitamin E also great for that. I love that it is a couple drops and smear it on while running downstairs to make breakfast.

There you have it! 5 things that I think help me a lot. Even if there are days I still get to do none of them in the morning. They are easy enough to do throughout the day and still feel put together. I like it more if I get it all done in the A.M. but I am a realist.

If this helps you out let me know! Do you have any great tips or products to get ready?
