Being a mom is so busy ... being human is so busy ...
it’s hard to find enough time in your day for self care .
I am the worst for forgetting about myself.
Even before kids... I never took the time to take care of myself .
Did you know mobile spas exist !?!
I didn’t !!!
& I’m so excited about it !
@coastalblissyyc Is a mobile spa located in #calgaryalberta !
They offer tons of services like :
Massage , waxing , eyelash extensions , tinting , and more !!!
On the weekend I FINALLY got my eyebrows waxed ...
AND I got my first set of eyelash extensions .
All in the comfort of my own home !
Does it get any easier than that ?
I’m so impressed with the results . My eyelashes are gorgeous and my eyebrows look fantastic... for the first time in forever.
I typically go months without getting my eyebrows done because I just don’t have the time . Now with @coastalblissyyc I can get my brows done while my kids nap !
It doesn’t get any easier than that !!!

Its Maternal Mental Health Week and one that is very important to me and the work I do. This week I will be sharing posts all centered around Maternal Mental Health.
1 in 5 Mothers are affected by a perinatal mood + anxiety disorder (PMAD). We have a big job to do if we want to unpack the myth of the “perfect mother” and address the well-being of our mothers today.
I get a ton of inquiries about why mothers struggle so much today compared to previous generations. I think the answer to this is complicated and involves many factors. In order to break the stigma, we must tell our stories. Normalize. Validate. The spectrum of postpartum is BIG and wide. What’s different for moms today?
_
• focus on baby only rather than the focus of the mom + baby dyad
• less and less exposure to life with young babies - how many of us held for and cared for a baby prior to our own?
• we’ve lost the village - people are busy and consumed in their own lives and the digital world
• the myth of the ”perfect” mother
• women are finding their voices, getting comfortable with strong emotions that we were once institutionalized for. We are talking about anger + rage unlike previous generations, normalizing the many faces of Motherhood
• as we have children later in life, the generation of grandparents are older resulting in less energy + mobility
• Postnatal Depletion
• social media + the internet depicting highlight reels of everyone’s life

Happy May 1st! Holy cow, it's May! It's supposed to be nice outside. If I dress and act like it's Spring, Mother Nature will get the hint right? Sweaters and coats aren't fitting me anymore and I'm so ready to wear dresses everyday. I'll be wearing this ridiculously comfy maternity/nursing Terri t-shirt dress from @ellabellamaternity everywhere. Use "knoxphoto" as a code to get 15% off your order.
What kind of yoga is your favourite? I typically like more fast paced yoga, but more recently tried Yin and absolutely loved it! Comment your favourite type or pose down below ♀️ •
I am still using the @bulldogyoga app and love the morning or post workout guided routines. Check them out for a free trial!
