Summertime and the livin’ is easy! It’s all about hanging out with my kids and they’re keeping me super active. Which isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, they’re over here forcing all sorts of healthy habits on me with their fun. My kids used to go to a day camp every single Summer which would give me the day to still sit on my booty and get some work done. This is the first year that they’re not going to the day camp and they obviously can’t just lay around all day while we’re having this beautiful weather. I’m letting them “rule the roost” in terms of what we’re doing day-to-day and this new “lifestyle” of sorts has basically tossed me into a whirlwind. To keep it together both mentally and physically I’ve made sure to have the necessary products on hand. My own personal survival depends on it.
I must prep & pamper myself. Before the day of activity begins there’s a bit of prep involved. This is good for the mind, body and soul. If momma isn’t happy… no one is happy! In the shower I do a quick Summer skin care treatment with Tree Hut Bare Shave Prep Sugar Scrub. This scrub is exfoliating but also pampering with Oat Kernel Oil (to relieve irritation) and Avocado Oil (for moisture). If it’s a shaving day this will also help to get in closer with your razor and not worry about ingrown hairs or bumps.
It’s also important to me to have on an amazing mascara. You all know that the IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara is my top choice and it has been since it launched. There is no other mascara out there that gives my lashes the same all-day lift, volume and curl. It’s super-black and super-buildable. Most importantly, it makes me feel pretty! 😉
I need the comfort of movable, breathable clothing. These key points are all achieved by wearing 2(X)ist Tank Top & Leggings. This brand is known for their superior fit, fashion and performance quality. I can be over here looking fabulous, feeling fabulous… doing fabulous!
The Square-Cut Tank ($26.00) is 100% breathable cotton and a slim-fit. I found the Large fit me well, which I was surprised about because it’s hard for me to find fashions that I like that make me feel and look good. It’s always either one or the other, you know? I can layer a light hoodie easily over the tank if it happens to cool off while we’re out.
The Leggings ($48.00-$52.00) come in true color prints, ombres or with pops of color. There’s no sweat with the 100% moisture wick fabric and breathable mesh inserts but my favorite part about these is the wide waistband. That feature sucks me in so that I can look good but not be completely uncomfortable. Another necessity is the hidden pocket to hold your keys, cards or money. When I’m running around after the kids I can’t carry a wallet or purse so this makes it convenient to carry some things.
I need to relax. It’s a given! At the end of the day, when the kids are in bed, I have to recharge myself and prepare for another round tomorrow. Since 9 times out of 10 the day is incredibly active I pull out the big guns from Village Naturals Therapy products: Aches + Pains Muscle Relief Foaming Bath Soak with Epsom Salt, Aches + Pains Muscle Relief Concentrated Mineral Bath Soak and Aches + Pains Muscle Relief Foaming Bath Oil & Body Wash.
These products help with any aches and pains that I might be feeling. The scent is also perfect for relaxation and easing stress and tension so I can sleep better. Click here to get $1 Off Any One Village Naturals Therapy Product.
After cleansing my face I also like to indulge in an extra skincare step before bed with the Vichy LiftActiv Serum 10 Supreme. I have oily skin but my cheeks and under eye area have been lacking in the hydration department lately. This serum absorbs quickly and doesn’t make my sensitive skin feel greasy or react in any unfavorable way. In 10 days signs of aging are visibly improved and in one month skin feels firm and lifted.
