Is your beauty one of your caps?

We know the cliché: “women, we wear so many caps” we wear the wife cap, the career cap, the supporter cap, the mother cap with so many more caps as individuals, but very few of us remember to wear the cap of self-love in the form of body and beauty.

As women, we have a natural instinct to care for all those we love; we forget the need to feel good about ourselves. Let’s be honest, as a mother, this instinct doubles- no triples, and we forget that our kids watch us too. As working moms, we provide for our families’ financial and physical needs and think that is all they require. With that said, I would like to introduce you to two myths. Firstly, the myth that girls end up like their mothers, and myth two, boys choose partners like their mothers. Being very deliberate, I want you to think, do I want my daughter to end up like me, and do I want my son to end up with someone like me? When you have thought about all your characteristics, your morals, etc. I want you to consider whether or not you want to be a representation of your hygiene, dress code, and physical appearance? Tough one hay!

Now that you’ve done some introspection; let’s jump into the beauty of hygiene as we hear our mothers say: “Bo blink onder stink”, if you are not familiar with this Afrikaans term it’s basically a term used when someone is always ready to dress up but technically didn’t really take a bath/shower. Here are some hygiene tips and let us not judge with so many caps as it is easy to miss out on a few things:

10 Daily Hygiene Tips we could follow

Evangelique Adams

1. Wash every day, whether a bath or a shower, don't forget your feet. Something we don't always think about. Don’t forget your navel! 2. Wash your face with products best suited to your skin type 3. Use a good deodorant (change it up, as your body changes, change your deodorant) 4. Use body lotion, not only where people can see (laughing loudly) 5. Brush your teeth twice a day, morning and night 6. Be sure to wash your hands after using the toilet with water and soap. It is safe to say that sanitizer has given the illusion of a good soap replacement. 7. Nail hygiene, even without a Mani and Pedi, ensure to trim and push down cuticles not forgetting to brush under your nails for dirt left behind. 8. Hair removal of underarm, pubic hairs, legs, and unwanted facial hairs. 9. Cleaning your ears regularly, also behind the ears 10. Brush your hair every day, and with braids take note when it goes from neat to untidy.
