Skips the need for foundation and skincare — it’s both. Evens out my skin, feels lightweight, and takes 30 seconds to apply. Perfect for “no-makeup makeup.”
True Match Plumping and Hydrating Tinted Serum - Very Light
Gives me a hint of color without feeling like I “got ready.” It’s moisturizing, pretty, and subtle enough for the carpool lane.
Tinted Lip Balm - 100% Natural
Smells amazing, aluminum-free, and keeps me feeling fresh through school drop-offs, errands, and temper tantrums.
Coconut & Vanilla Deodorant Stick - Native
This is how I fake sleep. Depuffs and brightens my under eyes in seconds — and it’s under $10. A must-have for every tired mama.

This is self-care in the shower. It smells amazing, makes my skin feel soft, and gives me 5 minutes of peace (sometimes).

Press-On Nails - Olive and June
When I actually get a moment to myself, this is my go-to for decompressing. The lavender scent is relaxing and it helps me sleep better—if the kids let me.
Dr Teal's Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt
I throw this on before bed and wake up with soft, plump skin—even when I didn’t sleep well. It’s lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy on the pillow.
Water Sleeping Mask Brighten & Hydrate
Because moisturizing post-shower with a toddler yelling “MOM!” is unrealistic. This hydrates while I shower—super quick and no extra step.
NIVEA Nourishing In Shower Body Lotion
This is a mom bag essential. I use it for dry lips, hands, diaper rashes, scrapes, cuticles — even on my baby’s cheeks. One product, a hundred uses.

I don’t have time for a 10-step routine, and this cleanser keeps my skin clean and calm in one simple step. Gentle, fast, and fuss-free.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh | CeraVe
Lighting this in the kitchen or bathroom gives me 2 minutes of peace. It smells like a spa and makes the chaos feel a little more manageable.
Mind & Body® | Wellness Scents | Chesapeake Bay Candle®
I use these when I’m too tired for a full skincare routine. They’re gentle, clean, and get the job done—no raccoon eyes on the pillow.
