Just welcomed my first baby into the world a few months ago, I'd love to exchange any tips and tricks on how to feel like we are winning at life, whilst going through the biggest change we'll ever go through
Showers - they're now very short but I'm breastfeeding and experiencing the awful sweats so I'm having about 3 short showers per day - no time for faffing around really so I've indulged in fancy shower oils, scrubs etc so even though I only get 5 minutes, it's 5 minutes of heaven
Skincare - Liz Earle all the way, can often pick it up at tkmaxx. Love the facial and eye tonics they are perfect for after a bad night's sleep.i keep them in the fridge actually so they're ice cold
Food - pre chopped onions, peppers, garlic etc from the frozen section have been a game changer !!!
Fitness - really want to get back into this, so far I've just been going on walks, about 30 mins per day but I'd like to add in some home workouts along side this, just need to get a routine
Weight - I put on 4 stone in pregnancy, a lot has dropped off already but I'm still 18lbs above pre pregnancy weight. Going on holiday in 4 weeks and would love to lose say half a stone
Tips needed:
I need to find the best instant coffee, sitting down for a hit drink has become a novelty, and waiting for the cafetiere to do its thing while you have a ticking time bomb (baby) has meant it almost always gets forgotten
Need to get into a better habit of being more time economical with housework (eg, washing goes on first so that's looking after itself in the background while I'm doing other bits but need more ideas like this
This is all I can think of for now but I'll be back with more later
