Simple Beauty Routine for Busy Moms

Simple Beauty Routine for Busy Moms

The kids are back in school, and while summer had no shortage of busy days, I think this school year will keep me just as busy. I think you can talk to almost any person and they will tell you how crazy busy they are. Whether you are a mom or not, we are in this constant season of hustle and bustle. It’s non-stop and we are trying to maximize every second of every day.

One thing that should not be compromised is your beauty routine. I know I have said this before, but I really wish I had started a solid skin care routine at a much earlier age. I didn’t see the importance of it, but now I realize how important it is to take care of your skin. Despite being a busy mom, we should take care of our overall appearance. You feel better about yourself and your 60-year-old self will thank you!

Here’s everything you need to know about my beauty routine for those busy on-the-go days.

First Things First: Skincare

Skincare is the single most important part of your beauty routine. It is so important to take care of your skin! A cleanser and moisturizer are going to be the essentials for your skincare routine. I wash my face every morning with TULA’S GENTLE MILK CLEANSER and every night I double wash my face with CETAPHIL GENTLE CLEANSER and TULA’S CLEANSER. Then I make sure I use a good moisturizer in the MORNING and at NIGHT.

If you want to go the extra mile, these DR. DENNIS GROSS PEEL PADS are easy to use couple of times a week and will brighten your skin. ORDINARY makes a hyaluronic acid that locks in moisture. It is so reasonably price and you can add it to your AM and PM skin routine.

Next Up: Make-up

I like to keep my make-up simple and as natural looking as possible. Here are a few products I have found that save me time when applying my daily make-up.

I have been using AVENE TINTED MOISTURIZER. I love the coverage and it has 50 SPF. So this one product has the trifecta: moisturizer, foundation, and SPF.

I use the LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK every day. It keeps my lips moisturized and is the perfect lip gloss.

I use TARTE SHAPE TAPE for my concealer. This is the best deal you will find on this product.

You can literally swipe these EYE SHADOW STICKS on your eyelids and go! Gives the perfect amount of color and it stays put all day. Literally takes 2 seconds. Same thing with these BLUSH STICKS.

Then I finish up with mascara. I have been a long time user of DIOR MASCARA, but have recently been trying this MARC JACOBS MASCARA.

Finish the Look: Hair

Dry shampoo is life-changing and will help you extend your time in between washes. It is beneficial for so many reasons. Saving you time as a busy momma is the best reason of all!

You can quickly add textured waves to your hair to give it a finished look without spending a lot of time on your hair. I don’t have to curl my entire head but instead just use these products to achieve this look.

I divide my hair into sections with DRYBAR HAIR CLIPS.

And I use the T3 SINGLE PASS CURLING IRON to curl a few pieces.

Then I will finish with DRYBAR’S TRIPLE SEC 3 IN 1 FINISHING SPRAY. My all time favorite hair product.

I have also used OUAI WAVE SPRAY without using the curling iron.

I hope this helps as you go about your busy days!

Our time in Uganda with @kids_lacrosse_africa and Our time in Uganda with @kids_lacrosse_africa and @signaturelacrosse was nothing short of divine. We came to give, but we received so much more. New friendships, deep joy, and a lasting impact on our hearts. God was present in every moment. Watching our kids serve, love, and build friendships across cultures was a glimpse of heaven on earth. We loved moment, every smile, and every connection. 🌍🙌 🇺🇬

I’m just so thankful for how everything has come together. 🙏✨

Today, we celebrate this girl turning FOURTEEN. I Today, we celebrate this girl turning FOURTEEN. I wrote most of this when she turned 10. I have changed a few things. And we are still so proud of whose she’s becoming with each passing day. 
.
I don’t think I will ever be able to do her justice by my words on this platform. I always say I didn’t realize how much I needed her till I had her and that statement becomes more true every day. 
.
She is funny. Not the telling jokes funny and trying really hard to be funny. The kind where you really have to listen to her and you don’t remember what she even said a day later, but you remember her making you belly laugh and crying funny. 
.
She is kind. At school they had to go around and say what they admire in their classmates and one of them said Audrey is kind, even when someone isn’t kind to her. OH MY HEART! I cried. I still cry thinking about this. As a parent, you try to teach your kiddos this, you know “when you can be anything in the world, be kind.” But honestly that is HARD. Our flesh wants to do the opposite and its always easier to say these cliche statements and way harder to act them out. And to hear that Audrey practices this makes my heart explode! I am still hearing stories of her putting this into practice. 
.
She is thoughtful. At Christmas, she made a list and bought for each family member with her own money. Without giving it a second thought. And she made sure the gifts were exactly what they wanted. she still does this year after year. 
.
The best sister. We tell Brydon everyday he is so lucky. From sitting at lacrosse tournaments and never complaining to looking at me and advocating for him to switch school because she knew what Brydon needed even if it meant she was giving up her favorite time of the day, B driving her to school. 
.
And today, this amazing human turns 14. Still trying to figure out how to slow time down. But for now, Kris and I are cherishing every minute God has given us with her.

From sea to the blue waters of Nassau, day 3 and 4 From sea to the blue waters of Nassau, day 3 and 4 aboard Celebrity Silhouette did not disappoint. Relaxing poolside to relaxing seaside at Baha Mar, with amazing food (lots and lots of ice cream) and more entertainment than we knew what to do with, we had the best getaway on our short Caribbean cruise. We came back relaxed and recharged. @celebritycruises #CelebrityPartner #ad
