She said that she would screw little stud earrings into her ears and keep them in place so she didn’t have to think about it.
“I’ve been wearing it my whole life and I wake up feeling beautiful,” she says.
The perfect perfume
If you’re thinking of saving your special perfume for a special occasion, don’t.
Smelling good makes you feel good.

Nice nails
Next, always take care of your nails.
“It feels so good to wake up with clean hands,” she explained.
The Reddit user admitted that she started using the gel after her nails started cracking after giving birth.
“It was weird at first, but now I love it,” she added.
She said she wished she’d kept the nails fake because one of her nails completely split and “will probably never heal.”
“I’m ruined for the rest of my life!” she said.
She also shared some useful beauty advice for all mums out there.
“Dry hands and a lack of iron can also cause nails to crack, so keep your hands moisturised and get your iron levels checked,” she recommended.
Dermatologist-Approved Anti-Aging Tips
Dermatologist Dr Brendan Camp shared his dermatologist-approved tips with the U.S. Sun.
Don’t use tanning salons. Don’t use sunscreen to contour your face. Wear driving gloves to protect your hands from the sun; he likes Coolibar Gannett UV Gloves UPF 50+ ($15.99-$39). Exercise, eat healthy, and get enough sleep. Don’t drink or smoke excessively.
Glossy eyelashes
The glamorous mum has also invested in an eyelash lift.
She decided to try and learn how to do it herself at home as a budget-friendly option.
Thankfully, she has a great teacher and babysitter for her daughter.
“I have such long, thick eyelashes that putting on mascara is a real pain,” she says.
Big Boobs Bonus
Lastly, nothing makes a woman feel sexier than sexy underwear.
If you’re breastfeeding, she recommends brands like Hot Milk Lingerie for bras and Aerie for cute, stretchy underwear.
“Their bras are sexy, shapely and durable,” she explained.
She said the hot milk reminded her of a brand called Panache.
According to the Redditor, all of the above tasks only require maintenance about once a month.
“I can wake up feeling beautiful, get out of bed, spritz myself with perfume, put on a pretty bra and feel like a beautiful woman ready to take on the day!” she said.
Additional advice
The Reddit user also shared other must-have habits that anyone can incorporate into their lifestyle.
She reiterated the importance of drinking water and being physically active several times a week.
She also suggested getting a “good haircut” because “that first trim after postpartum hair loss is nice and invigorating.”
