I can’t believe tomorrow will be one year since this beautiful girl came into my life. I never told anyone this but before she was born, I once told my husband I feel like there’s another soul who wants to join the family. I’m not sure if he took me seriously because even I couldn’t believe what I was saying but it’s as if my heart always knew before my head.⁣
⁣
Having a baby in 2020 wasn’t easy- I’m sure a lot of you new mamas out there can relate, but in many ways, it was a year that allowed me to slow down and find meaning, not in the outside things but the simple things…like the quiet rhythmic breathing in middle of the night and the way her tiny fingers wrap around mine when she’s breastfeeding.⁣
⁣
We had to postpone her birthday party but I’m making the most of it by being creative in ways we can. Thanks to my friends @mirandanorthphoto and @kellyzhangstudio, I got to capture this beautiful first year memory. Swipe to see our day one together to see how far we’ve come.⁣

Typically this would be the week I’m planning and hosting a huge 1st birthday celebration for my family and friends. Instead, I placed an order for a custom Hanbok for myself and Rumi in celebration of her first year. My mom typically gifts one to my children and I rent one for myself but this year I really wanted to gift myself to celebrate my motherhood journey through 4 children. ⁣
⁣
I remember watching my mom buy beautiful hanbok dresses and wishing I can have one custom made too. Today I’ve reached that place in my life where I can fully embrace my heritage and purchase a custom heirloom dress to pass onto my daughters. ⁣
⁣
This will be the most beautiful and exquisite dress I’ve ever owned, made with finest silk and adorned with one-of-a-kind embroideries stitched line by line by keepers of my culture. ⁣
⁣
It’ll be the dress that my daughters & granddaughters remember me by when I’m no longer of this world.
⁣
Today I reached another milestone in motherhood and it makes my heart burst with gratitude and peace.

When was the last time you really took the time to take care of yourself?

Self-care isn’t a buzz word or fad, it’s an essential part of taking care of ourselves from the inside. I know it’s not easy to practice self-care when our lives have been turned upside down with closures, restrictions and stay-at-home orders but perhaps now is the perfect time to begin taking care of ourselves at home.

@drteals Witch Hazel Facial Toner is an integral part of my wellness routine because it’s the first product I use after washing off the dirt and make-up from my face. As you can imagine, my days are long and chaotic so reserving even 30 minutes to an hour to myself is important for my mental and emotional well-being. I love that Dr. Teals’ Witch Hazel Facial Toner makes my skin feel refreshed, balanced and moisturized. It’s also enriched with essential oils that help calm the mind and relax the body.

I love the way my skin feels with Dr. Teal’s Witch Hazel Facial Toner and look forward to using it every morning and night. Swipe up on my stories to grab your own this holiday season. #AD #DrTeals
