Creating a healthy lifestyle is something I try to do for myself and also for the kids. I’ve noticed that when I make conscious decisions to maintain a healthy habits, the girls have taken notice as well. They now don’t have to ask if we are going to the gym after school, they just know we’re going because it’s part of our daily routine. Rather than asking for a cookie as a snack, they ask for a piece of fruit because they see me do the same.
I want my children to see me as their number one role model, and in order to be that, I need to live up to those expectations. Along with being active and eating right, I also show them that taking care of my skin (body and face) is important. During the week, MacKay usually comes home after the kids have gone to bed, so I get ready for bed with the kids. We brush our teeth together, and they see how I keep my moisturizer next to the sink, so I always remember to use it right after the shower. This reinforces the daily habit of a good cleansing and moisturizing routine.
That’s why for the next three weeks, I’ll be participating in the #AveenoDailyChallenge, using both AVEENO® Daily Moisturizing Body Wash + AVEENO® Daily Moisturizing Lotion every day. I’ve shared my love of AVEENO® several times, and am so excited to use this nourishing duo on my skin everyday for the next three weeks. As the weather gets cooler and the air dries, my skin tends to get irritated and chapped. Both products contain colloidal oatmeal, blended with rich emollients to help replenish skin’s moisture barrier.
I’d love for you to take this challenge and share photos of your journey with me! I’ll be giving updates here on the blog as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you share your experience, make sure to tag me and use the hashtag #AveenoDailyChallenge.
Take part in this three-week challenge with me and let’s take this journey together and encourage one another to get healthy looking skin!
