A frank FYI: I cared for my skin from the inside out with Aveeno® Active Naturals as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #Aveeno. All fabulous thefts are personally mine, all opinions are authentically my own.
Yes. I steal from my kids. In the name of skincare, style, comfort… how else am I supposed to maintain this ‘fab’ lifestyle I’ve set out to conquer?!? Now don’t freak out… I only steal things that will help our family in the big picture. Us moms must look out for the greater, most fabulous good… right? Right.
So why not confess — it is for the greater, most fabulous good and all. What kinds of things do I steal?
Well… I steal:
Fabulous necklaces. I mean, this is sort of a necessity. What 5 and 3 year olds actually need necklaces like this to sport around town day in and day out. A most talented friend of ours handmade these fab statement pieces when my daughters served as flower girls in a recent family wedding. Guess what: Wedding’s over. It’s Mommy’s time to shine now that my girls are back to playing in the dirt.
Snack containers. How else am I supposed to organize the messy drawers in my home office? I’m telling you: These babies were made for paperclips, not Cheerios.
Aveeno® Baby Daily Moisture Lotion. Nevermind that this beauty happens to be a go-to product in my ‘how to treat eczema’ armada (my 3 year old’s got sensitive, itchy skin that flares up into eczema breakouts if we don’t keep her moisturized to the max), I happen to enjoy this lotion too. It’s light, contains natural colloidal oatmeal and emollients that soothe and protect delicate skin), is easily and quickly absorbed and keeps my arms feeling silky for a full day. I mean, if it’s delicate enough for sensitive baby skin, then it works just the same for us moms too. (Yes, I like to be babied…) Which is why I often jack it from my daughters’ bathroom into mine. Oops.
Sorry girls. Yes, you can have your lotion back… eventually.
Meal plates. You’ve gotta admit these work much better for keeping my hummus away from my grapes. Moms like snack time too, you know…
Swaddling blankets. They’re made to wrap up things tightly… so why not use ’em to wrap up my hair. May I add: They’re also very absorbent. Clever, huh.
So now that you’ve judged me… FESS UP! What do you steal from your kids. C’mon. I know you do it too….
