A Busy Mom & Beauty Maven’s Advice for Sprucing-Up on the Quick

When you have kids, your life is no longer your own. You’re at the mercy of adorable, yet demanding little ones. Because of this I sometimes have to decide…hair or makeup? Do I dust on some face powder and make sure my hair looks fabulous? Or, do I throw my hair up on top of my head so I can do a full face of makeup? After that decision the day begins and you’re running. Maybe not literally, but you’re on the move from the moment you get up in the morning until the moment you tuck your babies into bed (and you can collapse on the couch). In case you didn’t read between the lines, my life revolves around my kids and their activities, so on the rare occasion when I get time to meet a friend or go out with the hubby, I need to get out the door…fast. Which means, freshen up…even faster. Some quick ways I like to freshen up, beyond the deodorant and perfume, is with the new Summer’s Eve Island Splash Cleansing Wash and Cleansing Cloths. IMG_1107 IMG_1115If I have time for a quick shower, the Summer’s Eve Cleansing Wash for Sensitive Skin is pH-balanced and specifically designed for the vaginal area – dermatologist and gynecologist tested. This is great to keep in the shower and at the ready for when you’re in a rush. If a shower just isn’t in the cards before running out the door, an even quicker option is the Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths for Sensitive Skin. The cloths are alcohol-free and designed to wipe away odor-causing bacteria. Like the Wash, they’re also pH-balanced and dermatologist and gynecologist tested. What’s great about the clothes is that they’re individually packaged, so they’re travel friendly to keep in your luggage, briefcase or even your purse! The new Island Splash fragrance smells fruity and fresh, seriously making you feel like you’re on the islands and away from the hustle and bustle of a kid-centered universe. Maybe an island getaway isn’t your thing? Not sure if your life is more quick shower or more on-the-go?

    I shower and wash my hair every day. Brushing my teeth and flossing throughout the day always makes me feel fresher too.

  20. Sarah L says

    I use flushable baby wipes – have them in both bathrooms and in my car.
    Thanks for the contest.

  27. Michelle Hudak says

    I carry a small travel size antiperspirant and toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse so I can freshen up after lunch.

  39. Kerry says

    I have to blot my shiny skin with paper towel at some point during the day usually. I also freshen up with some body spray sometimes.

  40. HilLesha says

    I stay fresh and clean by taking a shower, brushing my teeth, using an organic deodorant, and applying one of my solid perfumes. 🙂

  43. Janice Cooper says

    Shower daily, wear perfumes, keep my face moisturized, brush my teeth twice a day and keep mints to use at work so my breath stays fresh.

  45. Debra Ford says

    I’ve got this great body mister that has a nice refreshing fresh scent that I can spray over all my skin. It refreshes me, and adds a great fragrance without being overpowering.

  47. One Frugal Girl says

    I keep a pack of facial cleansing wipes in the car. They are great for cleaning your face but can also be used anywhere on your body that might need a little refreshing.

    I keep blotting tissues and deodorant in my gym bag to freshen up . I keep a small roll-on perfume hand as well that can fit in a pocket or small handbag.
