How to be a Fashionable Housewife

It’s important to look your best in order to feel your best, but being a fashionable homemaker can sometimes be a difficult task. Between the demanding tasks of raising children, and keeping your home spotless, you may find it difficult to care for yourself. Getting your nails done and keeping your hair style up-to-date and chic, for example, may seem impossible. But it doesn’t have to be! Being a fashionable housewife is more simple than you may imagine.

With Happy Nails and Spas, busy mothers can keep their fingers and toes looking beautiful on their own schedule and budget. Happy Nails provides quick and effective services, and even better, you don’t even need to make an appointment. Walk-in services are more than welcome, and you will be pampered in no time. Their prices will put a smile on your face as well. With manicures at only $16, or a manicure and pedicure combination for the low price of $29, you can’t go wrong. But if you’re looking to indulge in more of their great services, you may choose to go with the Pamper Me Mani, which costs $40 and includes the works: an amazing massage, scrub, and hydrating hand mask, which will leave your hands feeling soft and smooth. All of this topped off with the color of your choice.

Keeping your hairstyle and color in vogue is an important aspect of being a fashionable woman. If you’re looking for an updated hairstyle, Best Cuts is the place to go. The salon provides fantastic walk-in services by highly trained professionals who want you to look your best. Consultations are completely free and the prices are an amazing deal. Ladies haircuts start at only $15, while, for the base price of $55, you can get a beautiful new shade! If you’re looking for a quick but fashionable style without the cut or color, blow out waves start at $25, and will make your hair look perfect – great for date night or other events. Maintaining your appearance isn’t as difficult or as expensive as you may have thought!

Caring for the kiddos is just as important as caring for your own needs! Luckily, there are some wonderful free activities for the children available out there. From dinner, to books, you can provide your young kids to lots of motherly love all for free!

Every Sunday through Thursday, with the purchase of any adult entrée, Applebee’s provides free meals for kids! This is perfect for the busy family who want to take the time to sit down to a meal together after a day full of activity. The meal includes an entrée, side, and drink. And Applebee’s offers a large host of different options for the children, so even your pickiest eater will be happy. Mini cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers or chicken grillers, and corn dogs are just a few entrees on the menu. For sides, items include applesauce, mozzarella sticks, yogurt with fresh strawberries, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. The drinks provided are apple juice, orange tangerine juice, and for a good source of vitamin D, wholesome milk or chocolate milk. Enjoy a nice dinner out with your young ones for an inexpensive cost!

It’s essential that your young ones begin learning from books early on. Even the most fashionable housewife should take the time to read their children bedtime stories. Doing this with your child every night will foster a better relationship with you as well as teach basic speech skills. Famous singer, style icon, and philanthropist, Dolly Parton knows this, which is why she created the Imagination Library. This service provides children under the age of five with one book per month.

The most stylish housewives juggle caring for themselves while taking care of their families. Keeping yourself and your family happy doesn’t have to be a compromise. You can do both! It may sound difficult to make sure you’re looking amazing and ensuring your children are learning and building important family relationships, but with these great services, it doesn’t have to be.

I didn’t think a blanket could change my life bu I didn’t think a blanket could change my life but… it did. 

I’m so glad I decided to give @mybearaby a try. It’s not just another weighted blanket. It’s a lifestyle. The moment I unrolled it, I knew this blanket was different. 

Not only is it 100% organic cotton, it is award winning and has proven positive results. 85% of people reported better sleep after using the Bearaby weighted blanket and I can confirm this is true. 

From the first night with it, I immediately noticed that I fall asleep much faster - no more staring at the ceiling wondering when I’m going to fall asleep. I also noticed I sleep much more deeply and don’t wake up nearly as often which really surprised me. 

Not only that, I feel HAPPY when I wake up instead of that sinking dread feeling I normally have 🥴 Who knew a blanket could fix so many things?!

If you’re a stressed out, anxious mom like myself, do yourself a favor and get this blanket. Will it fix all your problems? No. It won’t do the dishes or fold your laundry. But it will help you sleep better and that will help everything else in life feel a lot lighter. ☺️

Highly recommend these sneakers!!!! Super comfortable, only $50 a pair, and Prime shipping from Amazon. You can’t go wrong.

I finally found a way to keep his name close to me I finally found a way to keep his name close to me every day. 💛 🐢 🌊 

This simple ring from Mint & Lily holds the name of my stillborn son—delicate, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. It’s a small way I get to remember Dylan, honor him, and carry his memory with me in the quiet moments of motherhood.

Custom jewelry like this makes space for the unseen stories so many of us carry. 💔❤️‍🩹

If you’ve ever wanted to wear your child’s name—whether they’re in your arms or in Heaven—this is a beautiful way to do it.

💍 You can customize your own name ring with @mintandlily and wear your love right on your hand.☺️

(My other ring is his birthstone)💚

Good news: You don’t have to leave your house to do it. 🥳

Bonus: weighted vests makes every effort you put in even more effective. ✌🏻 

The @flexispot_official treadmill lets you get your steps in while answering emails, scrolling, listening to a podcast, or pretending to be productive. Trust me, your future self (and your legs) will thank you. 

Who else needs one of these?!
