  • Mommy Hacks on Daytime in Chicago

    Mommy Hacks on Daytime in Chicago

    The biggest complaint we get from new moms is SLEEP! AND I’m sorry mommy but we can’t get you more sleep, but we can help you take care of that skin, those thinning nails and a few other ideas for keeping you sane and even glam for all those new baby selfies! Today we featured some tried and true products on WGN’s Daytime in Chicago.

    #1 Breastfeeding:
    Are your lips the driest they’ve ever been and nipples screaming for a rescue? These two things usually don’t align with the same product but the Multipurpose Superbalm by LANO is pretty much the bomb of balms!

    #2 Is Your Skin Having a Hormonal Moment?
    There’s this weird thing that happens after bambino arrives- our skin tends to get a bit emotional and hormonal. If you’re breastfeeding it can be at its worst. Most moms want to keep what they’re putting on their skin free of Vitamin A and other harmful ingredients but want something that is still working on their concerns. I have Daytime and Nighttime options for you here! 

    Daytime: Honestly, you can’t go cleaner than 97% natural and plant-based.

    Nighttime: This is where we tend to bring out treatment products and Isdin’s Age Contour safely addresses a lot of mommy postpartum skin issues like discoloration and bringing back the calm to the skin.

    #3 Is all about nails
     Most of us stop taking prenatal vitamins after birth and typically our nails start to suffer. If you’re peeling and splitting you must use this #1 cuticle oil! It’s mind-blowing for anyone, not just moms!

    PRICE: $10-$12
    SHOP: @amazon

    Faking it in Chicago on WGN’s Daytime

    Fake it till you make it is the motto, right? We’ve got everything from eyelashes to sculpting bathing suits to cheat your way into looking and feeling fabtastic today on WGN’s Daytime.

    Let’s talk hair: With the bob haircut being the goto style of 2021, we’re seeing fewer extensions and more play with hair color. We say, get it done at home. Become your own colorist and save mucho dinero… Especially if you are someone like me who has to maintain roots every few weeks. These new colors by Avon are so shiny, easy to use, and take the guesswork out of the home salon experience.

Comes in a variety of shade ranges including rich browns, ravishing reds, radiant blacks, and beautiful blondes so you can find your perfect color.

    Most of us, if not already familiar, became friends with dry shampoo over quarantine. Now, I have the next level in clean hair without the shower. There seriously is nothing like this I’ve seen.

    Swair Showerless Shampoo
    PRICE: $36 8oz. $14 for 2oz.
    SHOP: @SwairHair and Amazon

    Showerless Shampoo™ is a game-changing dry shampoo alternative that cleans your hair without suds, rinsing, or residue.
    How it works: When you spray Showerless Shampoo™, our formula interacts with your hair so that the dirt and sweat can be towel-dried away leaving you with hair that is actually clean. Towel dry to remove the dirt/sweat/daily grime, and air dry or blow dry excess moisture.

    2020 was the year that many women shed their addictive lash extensions. Now, we’re looking for ways to actually make our own lashes look longer and thicker without the glue and salon visits. Nothing works better than RapidLash but you have to stay with it.

    As a makeup artist, I have a few products I use on everyone. Lip balm, eye drops and a primer that makes even the most dehydrated and bumpy skin look like its poreless and smooth.

    TIZO3 Primer Sunscreen

Contains NO chemical sunscreen filters, dyes, fragrances, gluten, or preservatives.
    Reef-friendly. Also available non-tinted.

    Summertime might be on its way out, but that tan doesn’t have to fade. One of my favorite ways to fake a tan is with this daily moisturizer. It’s so easy.
