Mamas, 2018 is the year for you. A time for a fresh start and an opportunity to hit reset on your day-to-day routines. It’s time to *finally* focus on giving yourself a little extra TLC you’ve been craving, even if your schedule is jam-packed.


In fact, even just five minutes of me-time can help you become a better mama, because let’s be real—you can’t give yourself to others when you’re running on empty.

Here are some of our favorite products and tips to help you *actually* practice self-care this year. You deserve it.

1. Headspace

Sometimes mama just needs five minutes to herself, away from the chaos. This app guides you through short meditations, helping you to focus on mindfulness. Even better, choose what you need most at the moment: Sleep, stress-relief, a way to calm your anxiety. ?

Let’s face it, all of the sleep in the world won’t rid of our bags. Fortunately, these patches use snail slime extract to really penetrate the skin with maximum hydration. Put them on for about 30-minutes while you’re getting something done around the house and end up with firmer and glowing skin.
