Reddit User Brightirene is 14 months postpartum and feels more beautiful than ever.
She shared what she does to feel like herself, “without any effort.”
They all require minimal maintenance, but have a lasting effect.
EASY EARRINGS
First of all, you can’t leave the house without a pair of earrings.
She said she has little earrings in her ears that she twists in and doesn’t have to think about.
“I live in these clothes my whole life and wake up in the morning feeling beautiful,” she said.
PERFECT PERFUME
If you plan to save your special perfume for a special occasion, don’t.
When you smell good, you feel good.

“You deserve to wear heavenly perfume, no matter the occasion,” she advised.
She emphasized that you should ‘wear perfume every day’.
BEAUTIFUL NAILS
Also, always have your nails done.
“It feels SO good to wake up with beautiful hands,” she explained.
The Reddit user admitted that she got gel applied because her nails started splitting after giving birth.
“At first I thought it was weird, but now I love them,” she adds.
She said she wished she had had fake nails because one of her nails was completely torn off and “will probably never heal on its own.”
“Nail for life!” she said.
She also gave some useful beauty advice for all mothers.
“Moisturize your hands and also get your iron levels checked, because dry hands and low iron levels also cause splitting nails,” she advised.
Dermatologist-Approved Anti-Aging Tips
Dermatologist Dr. Brendan Camp shared his dermatologist-approved tips with The US Sun.

- Exercise, eat healthy and make sure you get enough sleep.
- Don’t drink too much and don’t smoke.
LUSH EYELASHES
The glamorous mom also invests in eyelash lifts.
Since it wasn’t too expensive, she decided to teach herself how to do the exercises at home.
Luckily, she has a great teacher: her daughter’s nanny.
“I have long, dark lashes and mascara can be a hassle,” she said.
BREAST SHAPES BONUS
And finally, nothing makes a woman feel sexier than sexy underwear.
If you are breastfeeding, she recommended the brand Hot milk lingerie for bras and Aerie for “stretchy, yet cute underwear.”
“Their bras are sexy, give a great shape and are firm,” she explains.
She said Hot Milk reminded her of the brand Panache
According to the Redditor, all of the above tasks only require maintenance about once a month.
“You can wake up feeling beautiful, get out of bed, put on some perfume, put on a beautiful bra and feel ready to start the day as the beautiful woman that you are!” she said.
ADDITIONAL ADVICE
The Redditor also shared other must-have habits that anyone can incorporate into their lifestyle.
She stressed the importance of drinking water and exercising several times a week.
She also recommended getting a “good haircut,” because the first haircut “postpartum is beautiful and invigorating.”
