5 Ways this Mama is Focusing on Herself this Year (with Smile Brilliant)

This post was sponsored by Smile Brilliant but all opinions are my own!

For the last 6 years, my life has been centered around my kids. And as much as I love those little boogers, I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to focus more on myself this year. I really started to realize I needed to put some time into fulfilling my own wishes and desires when I decided to start this blog. I noticed that as my kids got older and more independent, I had more time that I needed to fill. That’s why I started blogging! It’s been so much fun creating content and really developing my brand. But this year I’m going to do even more to make sure that I feel like a person, and not just “Mama.”

Here’s a list of 5 Ways this Mama is Focusing on Herself this Year (with Smile Brilliant):

1. Working Out

Working out always does wonders for my well-being and mood. Even a quick 20-minute walk around the neighborhood is perfect for lifting my spirits. I’m going to make time to fit in a workout at least 3 times a week.

2. Skin Care

After I had my daughter, I really noticed that my skin was looking older and duller. I’m going to make sure to use quality skin care products this year and hopefully, I can slow down some of these wrinkles and age spots!

3. Time with Friends

Most of the time I’ve spent with my friends the past few years has been centered around the kids – play dates, park dates, etc. I’m going to make sure to schedule time each month to hang out with friends WITHOUT our kids.

4. Creating More Blog Content

I want to focus more time this year creating great content for you guys here on the blog! I’m working on putting together a reader survey to find out what you all would like to see more of this year. I also want to really focus on great Pinterest-worthy posts, since Pinterest seems to be my number one social media platform for drawing readers to my blog.

5. Taking Care of my Teeth with Smile Brilliant

Pregnancy and motherhood are tough on the body – even in places you wouldn’t think about – like your teeth! I’ve noticed that the past 6 years of tons of coffee (and wine – let’s be honest here!) have really made my smile yellow and dull. I’ve used store-bought white strips in the past, but they are so annoying to use. They slip around and always made my teeth sensitive. So I was super pumped to try out Smile Brilliant’s whitening kit! The process is so easy – you receive your kit in the mail, make the molds of your teeth, send the molds back, and then receive your custom-fitted whitening trays. And the trays stay in place so well! The process for making the molds for the trays was no big deal – it took less than 10 minutes. The desensitizing gel is awesome too – I haven’t experienced ANY sensitivity while whitening with Smile Brilliant! The whitening gel is safe for both your enamel and gums, and is the same method used by dentists. So I feel super confident that it will not only whiten my teeth but it’s also safe to use. Take a look at my before and after pictures below – and this is just using the whitening gel for a couple of weeks, every other day. I can’t wait to see what my results will be after using the product for a longer period of time! Having a whiter, brighter smile is going to make me feel so much more confident, and so much more like an actual person and not just a mom.

So if you’re looking for a great way to get a bright white smile, I totally recommend checking out Smile Brilliant! I’ve even got an awesome giveaway and discount code for you to check out below.
