Rediscovering You: Embrace Self-Care and Ignite Your Inner Glow
Lost Your Inner Glow? It Might Be Hiding Under a Mountain of Unread Emails and Unwashed Laundry!
Ah, the glamorous life of a post-24-months postpartum parent. Surely you’re oscillating somewhere between the chaos manager of your household and the queen of the 'just-one-more-episode' bedtime routine. It’s been a couple of years since the life-altering event of childbirth, and now you may find yourself asking, “Wasn’t I supposed to have found my stride by now?” Spoiler alert: You’re definitely not alone. Your inner glow might be temporarily MIA, tucked somewhere between that stack of unread emails and a laundry pile that looks like it might finally become sentient.
Want to feel more like you and less like a sleep-deprived zombie? Buckle up, because we’re going to dive into the art of self-care so you can light up every room you walk into—even if it's just the living room for another round of 'baby's day out'.
Remember when "self-care" was a bubble bath and a face mask? Oh, how quaint. Fast forward to now, and it involves getting a decent shower before crashing your pillow past midnight. But fear not, your inner diva isn’t gone—she ju
st needs a little coaxing out from the castle of chaos. Self-care starts with the small things: a chat with a friend, savoring a real cup of coffee, or daringly claiming back some Netflix territory for a change.Have you tried conversing with people over three feet tall lately? It’s oddly fulfilling, especially when the vernacular expands beyond "Baa Baa Black Sheep".
Next up, fashion! No, not the forever-glamorous formula-stained tops. We mean fashion that makes you feel like you're walking down the runway—even if you're only runway'ing to your kitchen. Your body has done spectacular things, and whether you’re expecting another bundle of joy or adapting to life post-baby, it deserves to be dressed with style. Great leggings that hold everything in place can feel like a beauty secret passed down through generations.
Check out Emamaco's maternity leggings if you're expecting, or take a peek at their Mum Tum leggings if you're embracing the postpartum life. Both options are more supportive than your best friend at a 3 a.m. feed.

Remember, endorphins are your best friends, right behind caffeine and the mythical creature known as 'nannies'.
Feeling overwhelmed is entirely natural, but transforming that energy into glowing confidence is where the fun begins. Maybe it’s a creative outlet you used to love—writing, painting, knitting badly. Or perhaps it's a rediscovered love for all things that bring you joy, like finally aligning your skincare routine with the phases of the moon or anything Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop has recently blessed.
A little indulgence never hurt anybody—your inner glow can't wait to say, "Hello, gorgeous," when you look in the mirror.
