Me Time? What’s That?!?! 😂

I’m now 8 months into motherhood and I am beyond perfect. I give everything and all my time into my daughter. I mean everything. I was the type of person who use to take very long HOT baths every single day, deep condition my hair with my special stuff I make, exfoliate like it was going out style also with my stuff I make, and put organic Argan oil in my hair. I use to workout everyday and eat perfect. I had the cutest tummy! Now I’m lucky to shovel anything I can find in my mouth.

My showers last only a few minutes I get clean and get out. I’ve put on weight (now doing the keto diet so far so good 4lbs down in 3 days yay!). I have stretch marks like you wouldn’t believe, my OB says they are the worst she’s ever seen. I often have the mom dread, you know when you get out of the shower and throw your hair back in a bun and go back to being mom and your hair knots into this horrible nest. My skin doesn’t feel smooth anymore because I don’t exfoliate. I love being a mom! It’s all I ever wanted and we went through absolute HELL to get here! However, as far as taking care of my self I’m a shell of my former self. Today my husband took our daughter to drive around and told me “go to take a bath, and I mean the kind you use to. Whatever you want. Have some me time.” I was like Okay! I started to clean after they left and I was like NO...wait...he said me time! MEEEEEE TIME??

I RAN TO THE BATHROOM AND LOCKED THE DAMN DOOR!!! Steaming hot bath going that made me wince but it hurt soooo good. I deep conditioned my hair with my stuff and started exfoliating my whole body. I shaved. A proper shave! I feel like a glorious magnificent dolphin!

Right now I’m drinking my keto friendly adult beverage. My hair feels glorious and repaired. My skin and face feel smooth like a babies skin again (love my homemade scrub😭). Baby was already asleep when I came in thanks to my all star husband. When he gets out of the shower I’m going to give him the biggest thank you! In more ways than one! 😉
