I’ll admit that sometimes as a mom, I lose myself.  I forget that underneath all the mom things that need to be done each and every day, I’m a woman who, just like any other woman, wants to feel beautiful. Wants to feel radiant.  Wants to feel feminine.  I’m so often guilty of looking down when my husband looks at me and tells me he thinks I’m all of these things because, well, I don’t always believe it.  But I’m working on that.  I’m finding new ways to embrace my feminine side and even enhance it.  Because while I’d never trade my role as a mom, I’m ready to rediscover that I have an even bigger role simply being a woman.



So, how am I making myself feel beautiful everyday in simple ways?  Well, at first I thought it had to be complicated and involve a total makeover.  But seriously, who has time for all that (busy mom here, remember?).  But through the process of discovering what won’t work for me, I’ve actually found simple daily things that do.

Discover the 10 Minute Beauty Routine

I’ll be honest, it’s amazing what a little blush, some lip gloss and a touch of mascara can do for a woman’s confidence….mine especially. Over the last year, I’ve fine tuned by beauty routine and cut it down to the bare minimal.  Instead of thinking that it’s either all or nothing when it comes to “putting on my face” I’ve found that I can have an everyday look that gives me the confidence to face the world.  And while it may not be the same as my date night look, it does make me feel that even if I’m headed to the gym or going to one of the kid’s games, I look beautiful doing it.



Embrace a Signature Scent

There is just something about smelling amazing that boosts my confidence and brings out my inner femininity.  From the actual physical act of spraying on those fine droplets to breathing in the fragrance all day, the right perfume can instantly make me feel like a woman.



From the first scent, it can uncover all the things about myself that I love and remind me of the moments when I feel most cherished and embraced.  It can instantly take me to that first date with my husband when I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world or allow me to capture a new moment when I feel amazing and commit it to my memory forever, simply by attaching it to a cherished scent.

And while I know it sounds like a lot for a fragrance to do, the right fragrance can instantly make me feel beautiful and confident in my own skin; ready to take on the world as the woman that I am.

To capture all these emotions and spray on a way to feel truly radiant, I’ve embraced the newest fragrance in the Vera Wang Embrace Collection, Marigold and Gardenia.  Just as I do with my everyday beauty routine, it draws inspiration from celebrating moments in time to be cherished and embraced.  With a dreamy fruity and floral fragrance, it’s a perfect way to instantly feel beautiful and womanly. And for me, it’s the perfect scent to accompany my most beautiful moments on an everyday basis.

Remind Yourself You’re Beautiful

I’ve recently discovered that there is nothing wrong with leaving love notes to myself; simply adding little messages here and there that remind myself that I’m beautiful, I’m cherished and I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be.  While it may sound simple, telling myself those things that I often don’t hear well from others makes me feel beautiful in a whole new way.

These easy ways to feel beautiful everyday have helped me not only embrace the woman that I am but celebrate her and feel more confident about who I am and who I hope to be.  While they may seem small, together, I’m discovering a whole new confidence that I didn’t know existed and learning to think of myself as a beautiful, strong woman who can accomplish anything.
