In 2025 two very important decisions were made in our life that kind of changed the way I feel about “self care” if you will & actually DOING the things I want to do for myself 🩷 and I think every mama deserves to feel this way!

Now I’m a bit addicted to how good it feels to FEEL GOOD & doing things that boost my confidence 🥹 the team at @Center for Plastic Surgery (where I got my girlies done last fall 🍒) is FANTASTIC at not only the services they offer but the customer service & support along the way!!

They make your journey so welcoming & easy.. even when you’re beyond nervous lol!! (They also will care for you when you’re sick & follow up with you days after — ask me how I know 🫣🙃 lol)

Today was session one of laser hair removal with their MedSpa team and I’m really looking forward to a sleek summer without the worry hehe

Have you ever considered laser hair removal?!? Ask me anything you wanna know below 😎 (and if you ever go to CFPS, tell them I sent you!! We both get a referral bonus! Yay!!)

3/26 Edited to

... Read moreMaking decisions about self-care can be truly transformative, as I experienced firsthand in 2025 when I committed to prioritizing myself in ways I never had before. Aside from the emotional boost from a breast lift, I found laser hair removal to be an empowering next step. The procedure itself was surprisingly manageable—while the sensations of stinging were noticeable, they were brief and tolerable. Going in, I was informed about potential risks like blistering or pigment changes, but with proper care and avoiding sun or self-tanning, those risks felt minimal. The experience at the MedSpa was wonderful because the staff made every effort to create a welcoming atmosphere, easing my nerves even when I felt quite anxious. Their follow-up care was genuinely thoughtful—something I appreciated especially when I was feeling under the weather after a previous appointment. I started my treatments on underarms and Brazilian areas since my facial hair wasn’t yet suitable for laser removal, a reminder that candidacy for the procedure can vary by body area and hair type. Spacing treatments about five to six weeks apart means the journey requires patience, but the promise of smooth, hair-free skin makes it worthwhile. For busy moms like me who want to spend less time worrying about shaving and waxing, this can be a real game changer. I’m excited to enjoy a sleek summer and feel more confident in my skin, and I encourage anyone curious about laser hair removal to ask questions and consider if this might be the right self-care move for them. It’s amazing how much doing things that truly make you feel good can impact your overall outlook on life and motherhood.
