Women hold such an important role within our society because they often lend a major hand in child rearing and forming us all into who we are today. Whether she is your mother, grandmother, aunt, or sister everyone can count on at least one woman who shaped who they are today! Because it is Women History Month and were all self-quarantining here in Upstate NY, let’s shine the light in the incredible women in our lives. The team at The Boudoir Studio reflect on the important women in our lives.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, what better time to reflect on all that we should be grateful for? A few weeks ago our guest blogger, Jes Lyn, wrote about how much practicing gratitude can change one’s mindset. I have to be honest, I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind! If you need a refresher, check out our most recent wonder woman article “Messy to Mindset Master” to learn more about her story.

Upon further investigation, practicing gratitude benefits not only our mental health and emotional intelligence, but also our physical health. . .

Did you know that September 16th is National Working Parents Day?

We missed it and I am sure that you did too.

This is because being a working parent is tough and there seems to be no time to stop and celebrate the parents who are trying to bring home the bacon while trying to raise decent human beings!

Back to school season is here! You may be wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of scavenger hunting for school supplies and adapting to new routines. During this season, quite often a mom’s sanity is forgotten on the back burner. If you were to ask yourself, what do you do to take care of yourself -emotionally, physically and spiritually, what would be your answer?

I can already tell that you are drawing a blank.

This week, all the moms at The Boudoir Studio reflect on our own self-care routines to help remind you to, well… take care of yourself!

If someone were to ask you to give up your children so that you can have your pre-baby body back (most days) your answer would be no. So here you are with no other choice but to accept your mom bod. Whether you are pregnant now, had a baby recently or three years ago, your body will never be the same! I am currently struggling with body image issues as I am now pregnant with my 2nd child. All the feelings of inadequacy have already rushed back even though I am barely halfway through pregnancy #2. So what better way to refresh my mind by reminding you and I to love our mom bods!?
