Even before kids I never considered myself high maintenance- was always kinda “tom boy” however, getting my nails done always made me feel pretty.
I hadn’t visited a nail salon since October of 2024- life just got busy and I was working and then got pregnant with my March 2026 baby. I go back to work on Monday and I just haven’t felt like myself. Between adapting to my body after two babies back to back I just needed a change. So with both kids at daycare I went and booked a nail appointment. It was probably the best and most relaxing hour I had to myself. I picked a color I probably wouldn’t usually pick. I feel pretty and a little more confident and it was a reminder that it’s okay to pour into my own cup.
Welcome to the group! This is such a sweet first post. Going back to work on Monday after having your March baby is a huge milestone, and it’s so normal to feel a bit disconnected from yourself. Good for you for taking that time to get your nails done and build up that confidence! Sending you all the good vibes for Monday!
Taking that first step to make time for yourself is such a big achievement. Even just an hour can make all the difference. So happy you got to reset, mama.
I completely understand this, sometimes the smallest acts of self care make the biggest difference. I’m so glad you took that time for yourself,you deserve to feel pretty, confident, and like you again.
I completely get how you feel, after having my first two I didn’t feel myself at all. I stopped doing so much that I loved that when I had my 3rd and 4th I said nope I’m doing them little by little.
We mommas need some love and care too. I’m glad you were able to get an hour of relaxation and feel pretty. I love the color you chose.
Even just an hour can make all the difference. So happy you got to reset, mama.
