Mom or not, it’s always great to find a shortcut or hack that delivers results without compromise or complaint. BUT now as a mom, I have never searched harder for targeted solutions to issues I never thought I’d need. Like how I’ve always had a healthy head of hair, but after baby Ace arrived I was losing it in bundles. Or how I always had a different balm for lips, face, and other needy patches. Once my little dude hit the scene, I had to condense and also be conscious of whatever I used touching his super sensitive baby skin. Basically, after the bambino arrives we need to come full circle with what’s really important and that means things need to be fast and concise. Today, I visited Destry and the team at Arizona Midday to chat about some mommy products that literally saved the day, hair, skin, you name it. All are listed below in order of appearance. Hope they help you!
For new moms, it can be a hair loss nightmare. My hair was everywhere, I almost cut it all off until I started looking for scalp treatments that kept the hair I had left in place and made my scalp regenerate. This stuff is so good it even won the Good Housekeeping Best of Beauty Award last year.

Find a bag that holds everything (and I mean everything) and stick with it. Transferring from bag to bag can be so time-consuming and tragic if you forget something (BINKY).
