Today we're going to talk about five mom beauty hacks that will change your life. If you are new
00:00:05.600
to my channel here we talk about classic living and traditional values and I would love if you
00:00:09.760
would consider subscribing and hitting that notification bell. I've been talking a lot about
00:00:13.820
homemaking and motherhood for the last little while here on my channel because that is so much
00:00:19.060
a part of my life and this video fits perfectly into that topic. So I want to kind of preface
00:00:23.740
this by saying I am somebody who loves beauty, loves makeup. I just recently talked about in my
00:00:29.440
last video how I've kind of re-fallen in love with doing my makeup maybe because I'm so pregnant
00:00:36.060
I can't do the the fashion thing right now but when you're a mom you don't always get the time
00:00:43.440
to just sit for 30 minutes and do your hair and makeup like it's rare or if you do it you have
00:00:49.840
somebody watching your kiddo so it's nice to have some hacks in your back pocket to make you feel
00:00:55.820
put together on those days where you really don't have a lot of time and I'm here to share those
00:01:00.060
with you. I also know a lot of my followers actually don't really care about makeup which I
00:01:05.180
find so funny because when I first started my channel I focused more on that and on opera and
00:01:10.820
now I've transitioned to talking more about like I said motherhood and homemaking. So if you aren't
00:01:16.800
interested stick around anyway because this is like almost like lazy girl hacks because before you
00:01:23.920
have kids these are lazy girl hacks once you have kids these are mom hacks and if you are wondering
00:01:29.460
why I'm out of breath it's because I am literally about to give birth. I'm 37 weeks pregnant today
00:01:35.280
I am feeling it and I think this baby is coming soon so we are gonna see but I'm excited to hop in
00:01:45.020
so let's just get started. My first beauty hack is to use stick-on nail polish. I don't know if
00:01:51.720
you've heard about Dashing Diva but I am officially a fan. Initially the first time I did it I must have
00:01:58.340
done something wrong they didn't work very well for me they didn't last but now I've gotten the
00:02:03.380
hang of them and they are the only nail polish I want to use. Now if you're like me getting your
00:02:09.360
nails done is kind of annoying. I like getting pedicures because I can still use my hands to read
00:02:14.380
to write to do whatever I want to do but when I'm getting a manicure I just have to sit there awkwardly
00:02:20.680
and I hate it. That's number one. Number two getting my nails done with normal nail polish
00:02:26.780
is just a no-go because they always get messed up. I'm sorry I don't know when you have time to sit
00:02:32.640
for an hour and not wash your hands touch dirt like be in it with your kids like I don't know who has
00:02:39.740
that time but I don't so I am immediately messing up my nails when I get them done with normal nail
00:02:44.940
polish and the third thing is I used to get gels because it was so convenient they didn't chip right
00:02:51.820
away and they didn't get messed up right away but they were really ruining my nails when I removed
00:02:56.120
them. So I was looking for a different alternative for a while I just went nail polish free and that
00:03:01.100
was fine but then I found these Dashing Diva nails. Dashing Diva has been my thing they are stick-on nail
00:03:08.400
polish they're not fake nails they're stick-on nail polish and they last so well they're so easy to apply
00:03:14.940
there's no wait time for them getting dry the only thing is you shouldn't get them wet or like oily
00:03:22.860
for the first hour after you do it so if you can like avoid washing your hands or if you can avoid
00:03:28.700
putting on lotion then that's ideal so I do it right before bed and then I go to sleep and then I don't
00:03:34.140
have to worry about having to wash my hands you know right away because I did a project with my son or
00:03:40.220
something but they come in all of these super fun colors that are so many different options they're
00:03:46.220
inexpensive for me they last a week to a week and a half which is about the same time that a normal
00:03:53.740
manicure lasts and I just love them so I have some on right now I think they're super pretty let's see
00:04:00.620
and it's just fun like they're fun to apply they make you look put together you don't have to waste a bunch of
00:04:05.580
time you don't have to waste a bunch of money and they're pretty easy to remove as well my tip the
00:04:11.260
way that I do it is to kind of peel up the edge a little bit and then dip a q-tip and acetone and
00:04:17.980
just kind of push it up push up the nail polish and then just slightly pull up and remove it that's
00:04:24.060
how it's worked for me I'm a big fan that's beauty hack number one beauty hack number two is all of my hair
00:04:31.260
secrets because hair doing your hair when you're a mom is just it's hard it's time consuming to
00:04:39.340
style your hair and so trying to figure out ways to make your hair look nice when you're a mom is
00:04:45.260
tricky and I've got I've come up with a few different alternatives does that mean my hair always looks
00:04:50.140
nice no but on average I can get my hair to look nice which is the goal so here are my three tips
00:04:57.980
number one is style your hair twice a week if you can get down to styling your hair twice a week
00:05:04.140
and you don't have to style your hair every day that is such a game changer it saves so much time
00:05:09.740
and really that comes hand in hand with only washing your hair a couple of times a week now here's the
00:05:16.220
middle part of this right okay so you style your hair you do it twice a week you're only washing your
00:05:20.700
hair twice a week and then as your hair gets oily throughout the week you learn a few different
00:05:26.540
updo's methods of how to pin your hair back so it doesn't look messy because really what happens
00:05:32.780
when your hair gets oily over the course of the week is that the bottom still looks nice it's just
00:05:36.540
the top starts to look a little gross so what I always do is like day one hair we've got the nice
00:05:42.140
curls day two I'm probably still sticking with the curls I'm good day three we're pinning back day four
00:05:48.220
we're throwing it up in a bun done like easy we got this so learn a few a few small easy hairstyles
00:05:56.220
that you can do for that second third fourth day hair and then only wash your hair a couple of times
00:06:01.740
a week and style it twice a week that's kind of how I've come to doing my hair and having it look
00:06:07.500
nice and only having to style it rarely the other option is if you don't want to style your hair
00:06:13.420
figure out those products that will bring out your natural texture and make it look nice
00:06:18.380
so my natural texture ever since I had kids is wavy on the bottom layers and straight on the top so what
00:06:24.860
I'll do is I'll put in a mousse on the bottom and then I'll pin back the top and that has been
00:06:30.140
a really easy go-to for those weeks that I don't have time to sound my hair at all and it still works
00:06:34.940
so those are my recommendations those are my hacks for hair number three is wear a glowy sunscreen are
00:06:41.820
you not a makeup person that's totally cool I know a lot of people who are not makeup people
00:06:46.700
but here's a thing that you can do that will make your skin look really nice that's also giving you a
00:06:51.420
good level of protection and that just adds a little bit of something to your skin because
00:06:57.420
healthy skin goes so far like if you don't have any makeup on but your skin looks nice then you are
00:07:06.700
you are doing better than most people you look really put together so a glowy sunscreen is always
00:07:11.820
a really good option I love the hero sunscreens they have a couple different ones I have the color
00:07:17.580
correcting green one they also have like a corally one and they're not super expensive they're mineral
00:07:24.140
sunscreens but they don't leave a white cast I like mineral sunscreens because chemical sunscreens
00:07:28.940
I don't really like those ingredients but mineral sunscreens are more ideal and this one doesn't leave
00:07:33.580
a white cast so it's great but you find one that works for you that has a little bit of glow to it
00:07:39.100
and that protects your skin and just makes your skin look healthy number four are you a makeup person
00:07:45.260
maybe you are a makeup mom and you just don't have time to do a full face concealer mascara and chapstick
00:07:51.820
done that's all you need and you will look 10 times better than if you didn't put on anything at all
00:07:57.020
I have the Charlotte Tilbury magic eraser concealer I love this one because it doesn't actually look
00:08:04.780
like I'm wearing any concealer there are certain concealers you put on I'm sure you know what I mean
00:08:09.100
where it's like oh she has concealer only under her eyes and it looks really funny this is a concealer
00:08:14.700
that's a color corrector so really all it does is it just mattes out the purpleness under your eyes
00:08:20.380
and makes you look a little more awake so using a really easy color corrector concealer like that
00:08:26.460
throwing on some mascara find a mascara that you like and make sure to curl your lashes so that they're
00:08:30.940
like really up and awake and lastly throwing on a chapstick you can get a tinted chapstick or just a
00:08:36.780
normal chapstick just so your lips look a little bit more healthy that's all you need to look slightly more
00:08:43.580
put together and feel slightly more put together and that's your whole face like that's what I do
00:08:48.460
on the days where I have no time at all but I still want to feel slightly more put together
00:08:53.420
my last hack is to use whitening strips if you have a brighter smile you will look more put together and
00:09:01.420
there are so many great options these days for for easy whitening strips I have very sensitive teeth
00:09:07.180
I used the lumino whitening strips I thought they were pretty good they didn't do like a crazy job
00:09:12.540
whitening my teeth but they did a pretty good job and for somebody who gets teeth sensitivity
00:09:16.780
that's all I need I don't need like bright teeth and then terrible pain I'd much rather have like
00:09:22.860
whiter teeth and be comfortable and you can get them on amazon for like 14 15 dollars I think but
00:09:29.340
having a whiter smile using a whitening toothpaste it just is one of those things that adds a little
00:09:36.620
something to your appearance without it having a lot of overhead it's 30 minutes whenever you have a chance
00:09:42.140
during the day throw them on and then you do that for a week and you probably have to repeat the
00:09:47.020
process in a couple of months so I highly recommend just thinking about your smile more generally we'll
00:09:53.500
just add a little bit of something to your look it's a beauty hack that people don't really think
00:09:58.700
about but it actually makes a huge difference and it's not something that takes up a lot of time
00:10:02.940
