10 Self-Care Essentials Every Mom Deserves

There’s this crazy thing moms do.

We’ll research the best stroller for 6 hours.

We’ll compare snack labels like we’re food scientists.

We’ll spend money on everyone else without blinking.

But when it comes to ourselves?

Suddenly we’re like, “Oh, I don’t really need that.”

Let me lovingly say this: yes, you do.

Self-care doesn’t have to mean a $300 spa day or disappearing for a weekend (although I'd be perfectly happy with that too). Sometimes it’s a tiny upgrade that makes your everyday life feel just a little calmer and joyful.

So I pulled together a list of simple, realistic self-care items for moms — things that actually fit into real life, tight schedules, and real budgets.

Let’s get to the goodies!

A shampoo bar that will make your hair stronger and more voluminous with lots of great ingredients (plus you can easily bring it on vacation)

A lavender and vanilla fabric spray that makes your sheets feel more luxurious with one simple step

A satin pillowcase that feels smooth on your face, prevents lots of tangles in the morning and has a ton of fun pattern choices

A tiny notepad that fits in your purse and comes in a variety of pretty colors - because sometimes it’s nice to write thoughts down on pen and paper

A soothing aromatherapy neck and shoulder wrap that can be heated or cooled - for the times that you need a little Zen

A set of cute slippers that wrap your feet in fuzzy goodness and have shoe bottoms for easy walking

A small hand cream that’s perfect for your on the go schedule when you forget to lotion your hands in the morning

An epsom salt foot gel that will help give your overworked feet a nice treat (add a pair of cozy socks afterwards for extra comfort)

A scented candle that comes in a variety of high-quality options which make your home smell amazing

A sleeve for your coffee that helps keeps your cup from sweating, your hands dry, and comes in a ton of colors and patterns

From one mom to another:

You don’t have to earn rest.

You don’t have to justify upgrades.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely depleted.

Small supports add up.

And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your family is to take care of the woman leading it.

Until next time, enjoy the journey!
