Introducing "momsense"

Hi! I want to introduce another new section of my blog called "momsense." Here, I will talk about mom shit. Whether it's a story about my kids or me spouting off on things I think are important when it comes to kids - or if it's light-hearted fun stuff about being a mom.

Something I've been telling my friends about is how I have a character I've developed called "Friendly Mom." I have a deep seeded anxiety when it comes to attending school events where I have to chit chat with other parents. I don't know what it is, but I am immediately thrown back into how I felt when I was a kid - nervous, nerdy, quiet, not sure what to say.... I HATE it. So, to combat my anxiety I have developed some defense mechanisms. My first was "friendly hair" and it quickly evolved into "Friendly Mom." I bring this character out half jokingly and half seriously. She protects me.

With pictures and video, I'm going to take you through my process in becoming "Friendly Mom."

This is where we're starting

The first thing I do is use my Clarisonic Mia to wash my face. I've been using this for 10 years and I swear by it. 

I use a gentle daily cleanser with my Clarisonic. Purpose is one of my favorite drug store brands. 

Next up are my serious products. I use Skinceuticals. I think they are hands down the best products out there. The fact that they aren't the most expensive thrills me. They aren't cheap, but this isn't Le Mar.


Once my face is all cleaned and primed I put my hair in hot rollers. This is THE most important part of the "Friendly Mom" transformation.

From there, the next steps are in this video. It's only my first of this kind so I'm sorry for the few mumblings and the length.







And once you're all done, ta-da!!!



Who's That Friendly Mom?!
