We spend a lot of time in our lives taking care of everyone else. It becomes really easy to forget yourself. There are many things that we need to do for self care. You need a little me time, you need to eat right, you need to exercise. I personally like to wear makeup. I feel better when I feel put together. I feel ready for the day once I get dressed and put a little makeup on.
No, none of us need makeup, none of us should be judged on whether or not we wear makeup and some women prefer not to use it. I don’t wear it everyday and some days are just not going to happen. I like it though and thought I would share some of the products that I love.
I actually started using these Younique products when my daughter started selling them a couple of years ago. This is something she started doing as a way to earn a little money while in college and it has worked out great for her. I have come to really like these products as they not only perform well but are also gentle on my skin.
I personally like natural looking makeup so the colors I choose are usually nudes and neutral colors. My daughter however can go bolder. So whether you’re looking for little coverage, maybe just skincare products or want to do it all you might want to check out some of these products.
I love shopping online and I love getting a package that’s just for me. Sometimes you need to think of yourself. Don’t forget Mother’s Day is coming up. 😀

Well here it is again, New Years Day. Some of you are making your New Year resolutions and others of you don’t care to. I don’t make resolutions so much as set goals for myself. That way if I mess up I just start over again and don’t feel quite so guilty. I know basically the same thing but resolution sounds so serious. Usually by now I have been watching my waistline slowly creep back over the waist of my pants. I mean with all of the holiday meals, kids home from school and spending the last few weeks not worrying too much about diet or exercise it was bound to happen. For those of you that stick to it through the holidays, good for you. I really mean that because I don’t know how you do it. I always choose to just enjoy food through the holidays….more than I probably should. It all starts in November for me with birthdays and Thanksgiving and continues on through December and then I finish off with another birthday and New Years. So that brings me into January again and about 5 to 10 pounds over where I like to be. It all goes right to my middle. I don’t know why it can’t just evenly distribute instead of going to one spot! So I start my plan to reach my goal. I like food and do not follow strict diets. I feel that yes you need to eat healthy and have a balanced diet but I have found that portion control is what really works for me, along with exercise. I do not have a lot of time to work out every day but have a basic plan that works for me. Kids and dogs usually end up involved so simple is good. You just have to commit 30 to 40 minutes total throughout the day. I wish I could say this was time to myself but it’s not. My morning workout usually includes my son. My walk in afternoon probably involves the dog. This is what works for me to get things kick started and back to feeling healthy and more energetic.
- Start my day with a workout that is on the Lose Weight in 30 Days app. It only takes a few minutes. Usually involves a child running in and out, joining in, and laughing at me.
- Then if I have time I add the workout that is on the Buttocks Workout app.
- I drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Eat balanced diet using small portions.
- I walk after dinner for 15 to 20 minutes.
That’s my plan. Super simple, not much to it, but enough to help get back into shape, feel better and maybe get my waistline back in my pants where it belongs eventually.
Good luck on any goals that you have set for yourself this year. Remember yourself in your goals, you’re probably already doing plenty for everyone else in your life!
