My postpartum beauty habits make me feel like myself with zero effort – I’m getting help from my daughter’s babysitter
A MOTHER has shared the simple postpartum beauty habits she implemented that took her from drab to fab.
She even tapped her daughter’s babysitter to help her look her best as a busy mama.
Reddit user Brightirene is 14 months postpartum and feels more beautiful than ever.
She revealed what she does to make her feel like herself “with zero effort.”
Her tips require minimal upkeep but have a lasting impact.
EASY EARRINGS
First, you can’t leave the house without putting a pair of earrings on.
She said she has little studs in her ears that she screws in and doesn’t have to think about.
“I live my whole life in them, and I wake up feeling pretty,” she said.
PERFECT PERFUME
If you’re thinking of saving your special perfume for a special occasion, don’t.
When you smell good, you feel good.
“You are worthy of wearing heavenly perfume regardless of occasion,” she explained.
She emphasized that you should “wear your perfume every day.”
NICE NAILS
Next, always have your nails done.
“It feels SO good to wake up with pretty hands,” she explained.
The Reddit user started getting gel nails put on because hers were splitting after childbirth.
“Initially I was weird about it, but I love them now,” she said.
She added that she wished she had gotten fake nails sooner because one of her nails slit completely and “will likely never mend itself.”
“F**ked up nail for life!” she said.
She also offered a helpful piece of beauty advice for all moms.
“Moisturize your hands and get your iron levels checked as well because dry hands and low iron also cause nail splitting,” she recommended.
You can wake up feeling pretty, step out of bed, spritz your perfume, put on your pretty bra, and feel ready to tackle the day as the beautiful woman you are!”

LUSCIOUS LASHES
The glam mom also invests in lash lifts.
“I have long, dark eyelashes and mascara can be such a pain to deal with,” she said.
As a budget-friendly option, she decided that she was going to teach herself how to do them.
Thankfully, she has a great teacher – her daughter’s babysitter.
“I’m going to start doing mine at home and my daughter’s babysitter is gonna show me how!” she said.
BUSTY BONUS
Lastly, nothing makes a woman feel sexier than sexy underwear.
If you’re breastfeeding, she recommended the brand Hot Milk Lingerie for bras and Aerie for “stretchy, but cute undies.”
“Their bras are sexy, give great shape, and are sturdy,” she explained.
She said Hot Milk reminded her of the brand Panache
The Redditor said all of the above tasks only require maintenance about once a month.
“You can wake up feeling pretty, step out of bed, spritz your perfume, put on your pretty bra, and feel ready to tackle the day as the beautiful woman you are!” she said.
ADDITIONAL ADVICE
The Redditor also shared other must-do habits that anyone can incorporate into their lifestyle.
She reiterated the importance of drinking water and moving your body several times a week.
She also suggested getting a “good haircut” because the first trim “after the postpartum shed is glorious and invigorating.”
