Read MoreIn therapy this week we were talking a lot about what self-care looks like in different seasons of life. With my mental health journey over the last four years, self-care has looked like getting out of bed in the morning and making sure that I’m eating at least 3 times a day. It looked like making sure that my kids had everything they needed for their day-to-day and getting them to school on time. It was taking a shower, running a load of laundry, spending time with family/friends, and honestly just surviving every day. There are many seasons of life where this may relate to you - maybe you experienced a traumatic event or maybe you are in your first year of parenting where everything on your to do list seems impossible to get done.

Read MoreAll too often mamas make a list for what baby will need when they arrive. They list cribs, diapers, bouncers, toys, and clothes, but forget to add a few things that mama will need once the baby is here, too. We spend so much time thinking about baby that we forget mom’s postpartum care. Hair health is important postpartum because hair loss is very common (and I don’t mean from wanting to pull it out!). Postpartum hair loss took me by surprise after Aimery was born, so I made sure I was ready the second time around with Adlavie. It can happen anytime postpartum, but around month three or four is when a lot of mamas start to notice a dramatic difference. The length of time we experience this can vary mama to mama, but I started to notice regrowth around six months. If this issue sounds all too familiar, I’ve got your back. Keep reading to find out some of my best tips to reduce postpartum hair loss!

Read MoreI used to struggle with mornings, but now I’m learning to embrace the time that I get before the craziness of mom life starts each day. Mornings are so hard. I’ll be the first one to admit that staying in bed sounds a lot nicer than going on a run or making breakfast for the family.

Having just an hour to myself gives me the time to spend with myself as I do things for myself. I’ve always been an advocate for self-care and taking time for yourself, so I wanted to share on the blog how important it is to develop a productive morning routine. I’m adapting my routine to the season this fall by allowing myself to really get in touch with my mental and physical wellbeing.
