Three Things on Thursday.

Sometimes as mommies we are so busy trying to keep everyone else relatively clean and fed, that we forget that we need to take care of ourselves too! Just like in the event of an emergency in the sky - you need to take care of yourself before you can properly take care of others; like a hot shower and a cup or six of some strong coffee to start your day off right! So in honor of taking care of ourselves, I am starting a new series called "Three Things on Thursday" to bring you three things that you can do/buy/make/eat/etc. each week to #treatyoself - because you deserve it mama!

One.

Detox Purifying Black Mask - Sonia Kashuk available at Target $15.99

I love to good mask to keep my worry-wrinkles at bay! This clay-based mask contains kaolin to absorb oil and impurities from skin. With superb anti-aging qualities, the mask features a combination of effective alpha-hydroxy acids – glycolic acid to slough off dead skin cells, lactic acid to stimulate cell growth, mandelic acid for anti-bacterial properties and salicylic acid to smooth texture. White tea provides antioxidant protection and aloe vera, calendula flower and chamomile extracts soothe and moisturize. Eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils have astringent properties to tone the skin, while cucumber and licorice extracts brighten for a more unified complexion.

Two.

The Simplified Home Base Binder Kit - Emily Lee $48 (on sale now for $36)

I am Type A with a splash of other, more fun letters, but mainly anal-retentive. One thing that I love is having cute and helpful products to keep my schedule and home in order! Emily Ley has a bunch of beautiful products for productivity, home + office, and even for your babies! The Home Base Binder includes the binder, pages and dividers. The perfect place to manage home, family and everything in between! AND it is on sale right now!

Three.

OPI Nail Polish $3-$8

Something that I love to do to pamper myself is to paint my nails. My sweet friend Katherine (another awesome doula in the Austin area who you should definitely hire!) was the one who started this in my mind, because she reminded me that having pretty nails makes you feel pretty... and when I feel pretty, I feel powerful. So, until my belly gets in the way (which could be any day now) I will continue to give myself at home mani-pedis! I got this color at Target because it was called Strawberry Margarita, and since I am pregnant it was the closest I can get to a real one! 

Have any suggestions for ways to treat yourself throughout the week? Let me know in the comments below!

Stay sweet,
