Let's Talk About Self-Care

Time to read: 3 min.

When you become a mum, it is very easy to forget that you deserve to still do things for yourself. We are here to remind you that you are still you, and you deserve to treat yourself!

Your interests are still valid

It really is hard to remember who you were as a person before you had your baby. Just know, those feelings of mum guilt are something that all mums feel. You should never feel bad about doing something just for you. 

You had loves and hobbies long before your life changed in so many ways and your world began revolving around the little person who grew inside you.

We're here to remind you that you are still allowed to be you!

Don't under-estimate the power of fresh air

Really! When you are feeling a bit blah and just have no motivation to do anything, that is your perfect opportunity to go for a walk! Super easy to do even with your baby in tow, they tend to love the pram! Snuggle them up in a blanket and let the gentle rock of the pram lull them to sleep. You can pop your headphones in or just enjoy the sound of nature, playground fun and cars whooshing by. 

It really is remarkable how just getting out of the house can boost your mood. And if you just need a break from it all? Hello beach where you can soak in some of that warm sun on your tired skin and just relax (sunblock slathered first, of course).
