Hair Care Tips for Mums

In a running life of a mum there is minimal time left to take care of yourself. And when you are a Single mother, its seems like impossible to have that personal time you want for yourself. As not only you are running around like a machine whole day but when kids are asleep and you have some time, then either its too late to go out or there is no one to keep an eye on sleeping kid for a little bit, when you can run out and quickly get your hair done from a next door hair saloon. I know, I have been there and even till now I struggle with my hair. I have come out with some easy  tips for mums to make sure your hair care is up to date.

Hair Wash:-  Never wash your hair more then 2 times a week. Our scalp produces natural oil which is the natural way of our body to moisturize our hair. By washing them everyday we loose that natural oil, and instead of doing good we do harm to our hair. If your hair are naturally oily, try using oily hair shampoo as they take control of extra oil without losing the moisture.

Hair Cut:- Get a hair cut every 3 months. If you are growing hair and want them long, then this is the best tip to help them grow fast. Everyday our hair go through heat, dust and UV, this all makes hair go dry/ frizzy at the ends and also end up with split ends. By getting it trim or cut we help the hair to get rid of that unhealthy part and grow even longer.

Shampoo/Conditioner:- If you don't want to spend too much time in fixing your hair and still have a good hair day then invest in some good shampoo and conditioner. Trust me it will make your life much easier. Don't have to spend too much as there are many decent products which are economical to buy and does great care of hair. Like Redken, Pantene, etc. Never leave the shower without applying conditioner to your hair. Conditioner is like moisturizer for hair, just like our skin our hair also needs conditioning as well.

Comb:- Never skip combing your hair, as not only you will end up messy looking hair but also make more damage to them. Combing your hair daily will keep your hair untangled, more manageable and also increase the blood supply of scalp. As when we comb our hair then that motion helps our hair and scalp to have a good massage and as a result our hair gets healthier and longer.

Coconut Oil:- Oiling your hair is one of the traditional method to restore hair growth as well as keep them hydrated. It only takes few minutes and effect are long lasting. Get any brand coconut oil and warm it up in microwave (20 seconds) and massage on hair roots and scalp. Leave it overnight if you can or can just keep it for 15 minutes before washing your hair. You will be surprised with the result and your hair will thank you for that.

Last but not least if you use any hot products in your hair like straightener or curler, then keep their usage minimal or use a proper spray or cream for heat protection before you use it. These are some day to day things which you can do to make sure your hair care is also completed with house chores.

We all have bad hair day and on such days just do a ponytail, put a big smile on your face and kiss your little ones. I can assure you by the time you will kiss your little ones you will forget all about bad hair day and it will brighten up your day.

Mum power... :)

Exercise Routine for Mums

 

 

Yes I know what you all are thinking..

That's exactly how I used to feel as well. I must mention I was never a gym lover or had a super model body. But being overweight started when I fell pregnant, like every mum or should I say some mums, as lately I have seen many fitness lover mums who does abs exercises in pregnancy. Even though I admire them I know I could never be one of them, until and unless someone actually starts paying me for exercising. Lol As if.. haha

Jokes aside. I have started something from almost a month and it has helped me 2 kilos. Yes 2 kilos and its Down Down Down. yayy..

I wanted to share few tips with all the mums who find it its impossible to workout with kids and I know it is. So here is my non-workout routine which not only will help you cherish the time spend with your little one but also make you shed weight.

Step 1:-  Figure out what is your favorite time of the day, means when would you think you would     like to go out for a walk or a little bike ride or any activity that you like. Once you decide on a time, make sure you fed the little one half an hour before that time and you two are all set to go out.

Step 2:- If your little one is still in pram then get the pram ready, if your little one is toddler or big than you can pick the activity that they like. It could be a bike, scooter, football, etc anything.

Step 3:- Forget about everything else. Think of this half an hour or an hour (depending upon what you decide), as just your exclusive time with your bub.

 

Step 4:- Start walking, jogging, running, bike, football, etc whatever you choose to do with your exclusive time. Spend that time giggling and running around with your bub.

Once you start doing it for a week then increase the time and start adding up some exercises in it. But the best and important thing to do first is to fix a time of the day when you would like to so this all.
I am sure many of you have thought about this all and most would have been already doing this once a week or so.

Why not make it a routine?

Not only your gorgeous bub will love that mum who jumps around like a frog, you will also love those extra laughs and amazing time of the day.

I will add some exercises as well in my next blog which I started doing after I did this play routine with my little one for 10 days.

Last but not the least, this play time has to be outdoor, unless its bad weather (You mums are the best judge).

Hope you enjoyed it.

Lots love.. xx
