Monthly Self Care Project: April

April 11, 2018
Since my last selfie post, we've found out that Dad's tumors are shrinking which is AMAZING news, and explains why I didn't mind taking a picture today.
Also, since last post, I've lost about 5 pounds and gained a new self-love.
Onward and upward!

Monthly Self-Care Project: February

Honestly, the only reason this photo was taken is because it's the 11th and I am committed to the project.
This last month has been ROUGH. Trying to balance a family and a household and work and trying to be a better person is hard.
I took this photo at Goodwill, where I took my 2 daughters and a friend to shop. I was pretty exhausted and I'm pretty sure that my "luminous" moisturizer wasn't holding it's own.
But, hey, I had my long-awaited rainbow baby in the carrier and two tween girls laughing through the aisles, and dang it, I was happy. 
I swear, something has to be done with this hair. And maybe some makeup wouldn't hurt?
I'm still working on this weight loss thing. 
Baby steps.
Gonna work on the put-together Mom look next month...unless something else comes up!

Monthly Self-Care Project

Today, rushing around between work and house, I looked in the mirror and I wasn't wild about what I saw. It's not just the grey hair (and there is a LOT of grey hair), I just look and feel tired and BLAH. And yes, I know it's typical for the Mom of a 7 month old (or any Mom, really), but I need to be accountable for taking care of myself and feeling good about what I see in the mirror.

So, the 11th of every month, I will be taking a picture of myself. No editing (because I really don't know how to anyway, ha!)

January 11, 2018

I'm in the kids' bathroom, drying my hair for work. I'm EXHAUSTED.

And it shows. 

Bleh. 

But, hey, my bangs look cute.

I'm hoping to not feel so tired (or at least to LOOK less tired) next month. Hoping for positive changes all around! 

Until next month!
