Hey Dolls
As a new ish mother I am still struggling with finding “me time”. Charlotte and I are together all day everyday and with that being said, there are times where I don’t wash my hair for a week. Gross I know, but I get wrapped up in running around with her all day. But, as I have gotten used to this new way of life, I have found a few small holes in the day for “me time”. Sometimes just an hour is all you need to feel like a new woman again.
Charlotte has been on this kick where she only takes one nap a day… on the bright side it is a three hour nap (normally). So I’ve learned to hop in the bath as soon as she’s down! I am a huge fan of the Freeman face mask brand. I have like, I don’t know, maybe three of their masks? Ahhh who am I kidding it’s more like six. The PX always has them super cheap. For you non-military, that’s a Walmart type store on post. Tax free is the best! If John were to ever leave the army I would miss the PX for sure.
Back to the mini spa day. I was lucky enough to have Erin Tweed, from It Works, send me a few wraps. I was definitely unsure if they would “work” like everyone else out there I’m sure. I have to say they do. I’m not going to sit here and tell you I saw a huge difference, but they definitely tightened and slimmed my belly. I have only used three of the wraps this far on my belly, the whole treatment is four wraps. My thought on them is that they are like everything else..you still have to have a good diet and exercise…and I have been lacking in that department yet again. But they are a great way to jump start this process. It Works has tons of different products now, they are not just wraps anymore. I am dying to try the Defining Gel and the Hair Skin and Nails! I definitely suggest just giving them a try for yourself. One wrap is only $25, and it only takes 45 minutes. It’s so perfect for my mini spa days. On a side note I lovedddd the facial mask. It tightened my skin up amazingly! When I applied my makeup today it went on so smooth, I could honestly tell a difference.
Another thing that is a must for me is exfoliating my skin! I am a huge self tanner. There was a time when all I did was lay in a sun bed. But now I’m too scared of skin cancer and I also don’t have the cash laying around to tan like that anymore. So, self tanning at home has become my go to for looking bronze. Tree Hut Sugar Scrub is my all time favorite exfoliator. It’s cheap and works great. I normally find mine at Walmart or Ulta.
The tools that I use are pretty inexpensive for what they do. I use the Olay Pro-X cleansing brush, it’s a cheaper version of the Clarisonic at a fraction of the price: $29.74 vs $99, yes please. I recommend something like this to everyone. Using this makes my face feel so much cleaner than just washing with my hands and really helps with my ance. I also use the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System. This makes my face so smooth and has faded my dark spots. I always always use Philosophy’s Purity One Step Facial Cleanser with brushes. It is hands down my all time favorite face wash. If you are a heavy makeup wearer, you need this in your life. It seriously melts makeup right off your face. It also works amazing as a makeup brush cleaner. After I wash my face I use my Elma & Sana Argan Oil to seal in all the love I just gave my face!

In my crazy world of chasing Charlotte around 24/7, sometimes an hour is all I need to feel like Whitney again.
