Feel like you’re running on empty?– In accepting, understanding and ultimately overcoming mom burnout you will begin to experience your life full of love, joy and connection. I see it every day in moms at the library, park or grocery. That zombie look in their eyes just going through the motion of whatever task is at hand. It’s not that they don’t love being moms and taking care of their families but rather that they’re putting everyone else before themselves. There’s never any time or energy left for us at the end of the day.
What to Do for Self Love
I’ve learned that I need to do something for myself, just by myself, once a week. With a new baby and a five year old, showering alone sometimes feels like an oasis. When I’m able to take time to pamper myself, specifically how I look, I’m happier and feel more connected to myself as a person rather than just a ‘mom.’
Eva NYC must have known I was needing some self love action and sent me a box packed full of pampering goodness. This past weekend, after sitting in a car for four hours, dancing at a concert for three hours and sitting in a car for another four hours on the way home, I was exhausted. I felt like I used a whole weekend abusing my out of shape ‘mom bod’ by sitting and dancing and I needed some serious pampering Sunday night.
Eva NYC
My hair hadn’t been washed since the previous Sunday when I’d gotten a blow-out and was definitely ready for some love. I gave my hair a serious wash and followed it by combing the Eva NYC Soften Up Conditioner through my hair. Words can’t describe the de-tangling effects of this conditioner. Remember, I hadn’t washed or brushed it in a week. The Argan oil feeds hair with vitamins and nutrients, while Keravis™ delivers optimal anti-breakage benefits and is scientifically proven to dramatically increase strength and flexibility. After I hopped out of the shower I put on their Skip the Spa Thermal Hair Wrap while my hair was still wet. The wrap is an innovative, deep conditioning treatment that is clinically proven to moisturize, nourish and repair dry and damaged hair. Infused with 38 plant oils and extracts, including Argan oil, this hair wrap uses your body heat to activate the nutritive ingredients resulting in rejuvenated, healthier locks.
Clinical Trials Confirm:
- Immediate improvement in damaged hair
- 7 days of shiny, glowing hair
- 9 days of hydrated hair
After removing the thermal hair wrap my hair smelled and felt like I’d just gotten an expensive hair treatment at the salon. My last step was to finish it off by spraying the product that everyone raves about: Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer (it detangles, reduces frizz, strengthens, softens, cuts drying time, adds shine, nourishes, smooths, and protects against thermal and UV damage.) I lightly sprayed the primer all over my hair and scrunched my curls before heading down to watch a movie with my family completely refreshed. I typically let my curls air dry at night and in the morning I’ll refine a few curls with a curling iron and be good to go. My hair the next morning was still so soft and I felt so great about the day ahead.
I loved all of these products so much. I’m so excited that they’re not being sold at Meijer so I can easily grab them while I’m out getting groceries for the week!
