Very often, especially us women, we forget how important it is to dedicate time to ourselves. There is no doubt, the hectic life of our days does not even leave us time to think. In the first place there is almost always something else: work, home, children, lunch, dinner and so on and so forth. But really among all these duties, don’t we find a moment for us?
Since I was a mother, I have learned how fundamental these small gestures can be. Obviously, my baby has always been and always will be in first place, my top priority. But not for this I have to give up my little habits and above all, to feel good and at peace with myself.
Having said that, I wanted to tell you a little about my daily routine, a very simple but essential routine to face my days at the top and then I want to reveal to you what are the “whims” that I love to indulge in every now and then.
THE MORNING
I always wake up an hour before Tommaso, so I have all the time I need to get ready. The first thing I do is a nice hot shower. After drying, I apply body cream, face cream and hand cream (especially essential in winter!). Never save on creams and always buy good and natural creams! My daily makeup for going to work consists of just a little powder and of course my inseparable mascara. I always use my eyelash curler before mascara. The eyelash curler is an accessory that allows you to shape your lashes by squeezing them for 10/15 seconds between the two padded parts. In this way the result will be super curved and voluminous lashes, I could not do without this accessory.
THE EVENING
In the evening, after the baby is asleep, I always take 10 minutes to settle down before going to bed. Make up removal: very important! In the evening, after the baby is asleep, I always take 10 minutes to settle down before going to bed. Immediately after: hydration. Even before going to sleep I apply hand cream, but I only do it when the temperatures are still low, in summer it is not necessary.
IN GENERAL
There are two things I love to do to take care of myself in general. The first is absolutely the hairdresser. Once a month is my ideal date. Just the time for a shampoo, a special treatment and a nice fold and I feel immediately reborn. The second is the manicure. I like it and it makes me feel good about myself to have my hands and nails in order, so as soon as I can, I go to the beautician to fix them. When I really don’t have time for the beautician, I try to fix them myself as best I can. To do this I always use the nail scissors, il pusher for the cuticles, the clippers to remove excess cuticles and the file to model the shape of the nail. Four fundamental accessories that cannot be missing in my beauty.
