Personal maintenance

Step 1: you’re not any less beautiful than Adam Sandler when you feel like that! Remember that! Step 2: schedule in the nails and hair for real on the same weekend / weekday. Get a babysitter or give baby to dad to get it done!!!! Step 3: even if it’s not all 3, but you get one out of 3, you’re gonna feel great about yourself. I’m 5 months pp and I am adamant about taking that me time at the nail salon… this month it took me 2 months to get back to the nail salon, but I’m telling you taking care of you helps you take care of baby better 💅✨ Hope this helps - I was Adam Sandler during pregnancy but I’m determined to look cute and put together no matter what because it helps me feel amazing 🤭

And no matter what, take pics even if you feel ugly. Your future self will be grateful.

My first hair color and manicure postpartum really helped me mentally. I held off and I just kept looking at my hair and seeing my bad roots were and my nails had grown to the point there wasn't any polish left. I kept feeling guilty about going to get it done and leaving my baby home. My husband convinced me to just go get it done so I made an appointment. Coming home from that appointment. I felt so much better mentally and emotionally. It even helped me feel more comfortable in the clothes I was wearing as I felt like I looked more like myself again. Definitely make an appointment and get it done.
