It’s Mother’s Day week! That’s right, WEEK.

Let’s be honest, moms rule and they deserve more than a day. So this week on the blog we have a fun series of interviews from some of our favorite creators, entrepreneurs and business women who are also moms.

You can expect questions about their #1 self-care practice, how they make time for themselves, their go-to snacks and outfits and what they’d do with an extra hour all to themselves.

With that, let’s kick off the series with our very own Lauryn Bosstick.

Lauryn on Self-Care, Habit-stacks, and What She Loves About Being a Mom

What is your favorite self-care product?

Right now, the Brow Peptide. I’ve used it for my entire pregnancy. It makes you look fresh and young, it lengthens and strengthens. Most brow and lash serums melt the fat around your eye area, that’s why we made this formula simple and non-toxic. You can even use it around your hairline. I go through bottles of it.

Are there any unique ways you use TSC tools?

There are so many ways to use the ice roller. It’s soothing after a bikini wax, or if you have a sunburn or a bug bite. I also love warming up the ice roller with hot water and rolling it on the bottom of my feet. Hot or cold, you can’t go wrong. You could also do this with the Mint Roller and face massager.

As far as the mouth tape, I like to lift my face up before I apply it. It just gives you this mini face lift while you sleep.

As a busy, working mom, what are your most efficient habit stacks?

Every morning I meditate with a red light mask on (use code SKINNY)- I get a strategy session to myself and all the collagen, plumping benefits.

Everyone knows I’m a huge FACIAL manipulation fan, so I will do some facial massage as I listen to an audiobook or a meditation.

I love walking and taking my calls. I get work done, but also get movement and sunlight simultaneously. And to top it off sometimes I’ll wear a Higher Dose red light hat which is known to help grow your hair.

At night I wind down with red light bulbs and listen to a Louise Hay evening meditation while I read my Kindle with a lavender heated neck pillow on my neck. It’s honestly incredible. Lately I have been having a bowl of cereal in bed because I’m so pregnant lol.

When you’re on the go, what’s your quick go-to snack/meal to keep yourself nourished?

I love Lineage organ meat sticks (use code SKINNY). I also have been drinking Anthony William’s, The Medical Medium, heavy metal detox smoothie. And then I am big fan of hard boiled eggs. I’ll do a hard boiled egg with Fleur de Sel crunchy sea salt. And you can usually find me with an iced coffee or an iced protein matcha with raw milk.

Also, don’t sleep on a multi-tasking water: I love Kion mango aminos, creatine, and The Skinny Confidential Beauty Salt (which has electrolytes and colostrum and pearl powder). It’s a real delicious mix if it’s all frothed up over ice.

What’s your favorite workout?

Heavy to medium weightlifting, classical Pilates, and I’m really into mobility training and walking.

What’s your everyday ‘uniform’? Is there a cute, comfy set we need to know about?

I love a monochromatic set. Something like a collared long sleeve shirt with really comfortable pants that match, then a nice pair of white sneakers. Spanx makes comfortable, affordable sets (I have one in navy). So easy to just grab and go, then you’re looking put together but comfortable for the day.

If you had an extra hour to yourself today, what would you do?

Meditate for an extra 15 minutes, read for an extra 15 minutes, and return emails and text messages. I already do these things every day but I would love an extra 15 minutes lol.

What’s on your mother’s day wish list?

Ideally, I’d like to wake up in bed by a fire and have a whole milk cappuccino, surrounded by my family, with a good book and my dogs. Maybe some Brazilian Bossa nova jazz playing too? Heaven.

What do you love most about being a mom?

Being a mom is my favorite thing ever. It’s a pure kind of love. It’s an innocent love. And to watch your children evolve is so special. My children are the brightest lights in my life.

What’s something you love to do with your kids?

At every meal, we say what we’re grateful for. And then every single night we wind down by doing a rose and thorn of the day- it’s so sweet to hear their thoughts.

I like re-branding everything too- so electrolytes become cookie water and walking the beach becomes a jellyfish hunt, and a movie becomes a family movie night with homemade snacks.
