How’s baby sleeping? Is baby feeding well? Has baby gained weight?
Hey mummies, do those words sound familiar?
In those first few weeks after giving birth, there are understandably a lot of questions about baby.
But in the midst of all the chaos, there’s another person adjusting to a completely new normal too: yourself.
Your body has been through pregnancy and birth, your days suddenly revolve around someone else, and even something as ordinary as taking a shower can require a little more planning than it used to.
For mums Angi and Athillia, caring for themselves during this season isn’t about elaborate routines, but its all about making the everyday moments count.
Eight Weeks Into Motherhood, Angi Is Making Time for Herself Too
After welcoming her little one, mum of two, Angi (@angi.l_gengchaojie) shared that these days, her world “pretty much revolves around him”.
And even as a second-time mum, she knows just how easy it is to forget about yourself when there’s a little person depending on you.
One change Angi noticed after giving birth was in her skin, which she says became rougher and more pigmented, particularly around her underarms and inner thighs.
Her current shower companion is the TANAMERA Clarifying Hibiscus Body Soap, which gently exfoliates while cleansing the skin.
More importantly, it doesn’t require her to carve out an entirely new routine. It simply makes the shower she’s already taking feel a little more considered.
And when Louie is finally asleep? Angi reaches for the TANAMERA Sleep Essential Oil Roll-On as part of her wind-down.
She describes that little moment as feeling like she has “just walked out of a Bali spa”.
We can’t guarantee you’ll suddenly hear waves crashing in the background, but we certainly understand the appeal.
Athillia Is Looking at Her Changing Body a Little Differently
For Athillia (@_athillia), the conversation around self-care starts with appreciation.
“When you learn how to appreciate yourself, you will see how much you worth,” Athillia shared.
As she watches her body change during pregnancy, Athillia has been creating her own version of an at-home spa with the TANAMERA Clarifying Hibiscus Body Soap, incorporating it into something she already does every day.
It’s also a refreshing way to look at a season when women can feel enormous pressure over their changing bodies.
Because Mum Deserves Some Looking After, Too
There probably isn’t going to be a perfect time for self-care once a baby arrives.
Some days you might get an hour. Other days, the shower is the break and that’s okay.
TANAMERA takes inspiration from centuries-old Asian wellness traditions, bringing those rituals into products that can fit more easily into everyday life, from its body soaps to essential oil roll-ons, massage oils and more.
Similar to Angi and Athillia, looking after yourself doesn’t always have to become another item on the to-do list.
Sometimes, it can simply become part of what you’re already doing.
