4 Easy Pick-Me-Ups for Busy Moms

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. 

The new school year is upon us, which means moms run ragged super quickly. Between the school drop-offs and pick-ups, orientations, kids’ activity schedules, backpack and paperwork organizing, remembering where and when to be certain places with the kids… The list goes on. I know my mind is swirling with just the influx kindergarten reminders and procedure notices! Add everything else on top of it, and I’ve got a drained battery.

And I’ve got to take care of myself, too?! I have thought about going to the gym for 6 years. My jetted bathtub has seen a drought for over a year (And I have had two awesome bath bombs sulking near my vanity since last fall.) And I could use a 12-hour spa day more than you know.

Thankfully, I have a few products here at home that help me feel like more of a person while I’m in my mom on-the-go role, all without dropping a ton of money or taking a ton of time.

Colleen Rothschild Quench & Shine Restorative Mask and Smooth & Shine Hair Serum

I like to kind of overhaul my beauty routine at the end of summer, and my haircare routine is no exception. Between exposure to the excruciatingly hot sun and numerous dips in the chlorine, I have had a hard time keeping my dry ends at bay. They drive me nuts!! However, I’ve been trying out these haircare products from Colleen Rothschild, and I already feel that my hair is on the mend!

Quench & Shine Restorative Mask

I usually shy away from hair masks because my hair is fine, and I worry about weighing it down. But I was pleasantly surprised by this hair mask! After using it, my hair was smoother, softer, shinier, and it felt bouncy and light! Plus, I have highlights in my hair, and the Quench & Shine Restorative Mask is color-safe!

What else do I love about this conditioning treatment?

• I can use it (even daily) in the shower in place of my conditioner. I just massage it into my hair and rinse, so I feel pampered without spending much time or money!
• The mask contains a lot of potent botanical-based ingredients, such as Shea Butter and Argan Oil. I love knowing I am using nature to nourish my hair.
• None of her products contain Parabens, SLS/SLESSulfates, Triclosan, Formaldehyde, PABA, Toulene, or Benzene.

Smooth & Shine Serum

I like to lock in moisture with this hair serum. Even if I don’t have much time to dry or style my hair, I feel put-together by applying the Smooth & Shine Serum. I just apply a small amount to damp hair and air-dry to frizz-free, smooth, shiny hair. And if I have time to heat-style, the serum protects my strands!!

Some other things to love:

• You can apply it to dry strands, too!
• It has a UV filter!
• The hair serum contains natural moisturizers such as Cotton Seed Oil, Neem Leaf Oil, and Hibiscus Oil.
