Self-care by definition means to…. the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.

It’s not a fad or a fleeting moment, it’s a process and routine that is 1) all encompassing and 2) forever evolving. What we need mentally, physically and emotionally varies and it’s important to pick up on those things. The past few months have been extremely busy prepping for baby, wrapping up work, taking care of my self physically and mentally for this big life change. Now that we’re in the swing of things as a family of four I can go back to a yoga routine, editing my diet (which didn’t include raw fish, certain meats and cheeses) and being able to active again.

I’ve always been one to write out my to-do lists, goals and wishes. I think it’s so important to set these goals and to work on yourself as it is a process.

Here are five ways to focus on self-care:

1. Drink enough water

2. Sleep 8 hours a night

3. Take time for things that make you happy – for me that’s reading, blogging, being with my family.

4. Nourish from the outside in (Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin) Can you make sure to add something about the products you use?

5. Eat skin boosting, antioxidant rich foods

It’s no secret I love Burt’s Bees® – I’ve mentioned their products (unsponsored) many times before because I do truly use their products. When I saw the opportunity to work with them on a skin/beauty campaign with Target I jumped on it because they are already a natural extension of my beauty and even home routine.

I snagged a bunch of goodies from their new display at Target (now through Oct 14th – you can save 10% on select Burt’s Bees® products at Target) I typically buy their face wipes in bulk, lip balms (& tinted lip balms) and sheet masks. I was stoked to add a hand cream and a new overnight lip treatment that I’m loving so far.

They just released two new hand creams which is really exciting as the weather starts to change – the minute our humidity level drops (it’s glorious, don’t get me wrong) but my skin immediately gets really dry, especially my hands. I wash them all the time, so a nice hand cream is essential as the seasons change.

Burt’s Bees® is a brand that focuses on nutrient rich natural ingredients. I feel good using their products and I love that I can find their stuff at my local Target.

Here’s a quick highlight on a few products I can’t go without: 

Face Towelettes

The thing with Burt’s Bees®, which I love, is that anyone can really use and enjoy their products. I use the face wipes on me and my son – they are perfect for yoga days, bike rides and in general on-the-go weekends. I have them in my guest bathroom for anyone who stays with us. I use them every morning and every night.

Sheet Masks

They come in handy for a mom who, from time to time, needs a little pick me up. It’s a total treat when I get few extra minutes to myself at night to toss on a mask (scare my husband in the process) and just give my skin and mood a total boost. Plus, they are a great gift idea – I typically toss in a mask or two when I ship anything to my sister.

Lip Care

I hardly ever wear lipstick – I’m a lip balm user 100%. But I like variety. I don’t wear a ton of make-up, maybe I’ll spice it up on date night, so a little tint in my nutrient rich lip balm is a game changer. These also make for great easy gifts. No one can ever have enough. My sister still is a heavy consumer of their original Beeswax Lip Balm. It’s rare if she doesn’t have one in arm’s length.

Hand Cream

It’s easily the one body part that I probably neglect the most. I wash my hands, use sanitizing spray and hate oily hands that will surely end up greasing my hair because i can’t keep my hands off my head. BUT with their new hand cream additions I’m going to make a point to use their hand cream every night to give them a little more attention that they deserve.

And to just reiterate my love for Burt’s Bees® I use their Mama Bee® belly butter (I used it when I was pregnant with Hudson and using it again with his pregnancy) and I always have their blemish stick in my top drawer – it’s the best quick acne spot treatment I’ve ever used. And lastly, the only shampoo/body wash we used on Hudson the first 2 years of his life was Burt’s Bees Baby®.

Thank you Burt’s Bees® for being a staple and trustworthy brand in our home. Hope you guys give their Target display another glance while it’s up until 11/3.
