The Self-Care Product Guide for Busy Mamas

Are you a busy mama who needs quick, easy, and affordable solutions to self-care?

If you answered “yes”, then this is the book for you! This Self-Care Product Guide is packed with my recommendations for well-rounded self-care. The products included within the book are affordable, easy to access, and easy to use because mothers don’t need more complication added into their routines, am I right? There are a few higher-end & clean beauty products peppered throughout the book just in case you want to check them out, but they are notated so that you can easily skip over them if that type of product doesn’t interest you.

Find my top recommendations for these self-care categories all in one place!

Chapter 1 of the Self-Care Product Guide is all about the most talked about type of self-care…physical self-care. We start out with the physical not because it is the most important, but because it is the easiest area to implement changes and it will give you more instant rewards than the deeper types of self-care will. Make changes to your physical self-care routine to gain momentum for the deeper and more challenging areas of this journey.

Makeup

This section is home to my favorite makeup product & tool recommendations ranging from drug store brands to clean beauty brands. I like to keep my makeup routine very simple for the busy lifestyle that I lead, so I will also show you how I create my minimalist makeup kit.

Skin Care

Skin care is something that I have struggled with over the years, but I have found a few tried and true products (store-bought and homemade) that I am excited to share with you!

Hairstyling Tools

Hairstyle…What’s that? For most of us mamas, the hairstyle repertoire consists of a messy bun and not much more. I have found a tool or two that help me to step out of the messy bun mom mold…at least every now and then.

Clothing

Busy mamas need functional & practical clothing, but that doesn’t mean that our clothing options have to be frumpy.

Health & Wellness

The Health & Wellness section is where you will find my recommendations for supplements, fitness programs, and meal planners that you will help you reach your h&w goals.

Refreshing Snacks & Drinks

I have a few favorite drinks (ranging from hot & cozy teas to refreshing iced drinks) and simple healthy snacks to share with you.

Up next in The Self-Care Product Guide is mental self-care. Here is where you will dive deeper into what really makes you tick. You will use resources found in this chapter to determine what causes you the most stress and what relaxes you the best. You will find products that will help you to grow emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.

Emotional

Here you will find resources that will help you to relax, unwind, and find freedom from constant stress and overwhelm.

Spiritual

I am a Christian so this section is based on that faith; however, if you are not a Christian, you can still use some of these products to grow in your own spiritual journey.

Intellectual

Intellectual self-care is all about building knowledge and growing your desire to learn. In this section, you will find books, online courses, apps, and games to help you grow in this area.

As odd as it sounds, self-care isn’t always about yourself. It is very important to strengthen relationships with those around you as you take care of your own needs and wants. This chapter of the Self-Care Product Guide is all about tools, resources, and products that will help you to build these relationships and form stronger bonds with family, friends, and co-workers.

Family

Mothers often find that their stress levels rise when all of the household expectations lie on them. This section houses resources that will help you to delegate chores, schedule tasks, and communicate with your family to lighten your load and allow for more family fun time.

Professional

Whether you work from or away from home, you have a need to build relationships between customers and/or co-workers. In this section, you will find books and resources to help you with these relationships as well as products that can improve the overall mood in your office space.

Social

Introverted mama here! Social self-care is tough for me because, while I love to spend time with friends, I also yearn to be alone. It is a tricky balance. This section is where you will find books and resources to help other mamas step out of their comfort zones, build friendships, and eliminate toxic relationships.

I have been on quite the financial journey over the past year. My husband and I decided that before our next baby is born (at the time of writing this, we are 3 months away from his arrival), we want to be debt free. That was a lofty goal, but we are on track to reach it! The Financial Self-Care section is full of products, resources, and tools that can help you become financially independent as well.

Books

Here you will find books that will give you step-by-step instructions to get out of debt and build wealth. They will also work to shift your mindset and get you fired up about financial independence.

Apps

There are many many apps for budgeting, tracking income and expenses, etc. This section lists my most highly recommended apps to launch you forward in your financial self-care journey.
