6 Things Every Mom Needs

Birchbox

What mom has time or money to scour shelves and look for new eye shadow pallets or shades of lip stick? Odds are, unless you work for Sephora or Ulta, you may not even be aware of what new products are available. I have the solution – Birchbox is a great mail ordered service that provides women with top of the line cosmetic products. Instead of having to purchase expensive full-size bottles of products, you can now try substantially sized sample products and determine whether or not you’re interested in using the product(s). Foundation, perfume, lip stain, nail polish, chemical peels, and hair masks – you name it and Birchbox offers it.

Birchbox is a fantastic way for women to discover new make-up in a cost-effective way. The company also gives you points for your purchase, discounts on products and allows you to rate the products and read reviews from other participants all over the United States. The make-up order service is perfect for women who want to feel beautiful and play dress up without the added cost and time.

The Mommy Hook

How many times have you wished you had more than two hands? You just finished a trip to the grocery store, you have to get the kids out of the car and figure out how to carry all of your bags. Believe it or not, someone has an answer to help you carry those bags with a little more ease. The Mommy Hook is perfect for strollers, shopping carts, has a comfortable foam grip and is made out of heavy duty aluminum. Just snap it on a stroller, shopping cart handle or use it to carry multiple items. The hook allows you to easily unhook bags from its hold and is easily stored in your purse or diaper bag.

And really Mommy Hook is not just for moms. Reviewers have used it for lugging groceries up apartment stairs, hiking, or any other time you’re in a crunch and need more hands.

Nail Polish Remover Wipes

It probably safe to assume that while you’re carrying snacks, baby wipes, and crayons you’re probably not carrying nail polish remover and cotton balls. Emergencies happen and the last thing you want to sport is a chipped up manicure that makes other cringe. Instead, opt for nail polish remover wipes. Over the years, the market has expanded and there a ton of different brands that now make the product – my favorite is Ulta’s brand. These ingenious wipes have saved me when I didn’t have time to take off my polish but knew I had a meeting and didn’t want to appear unprofessional. The wipes are enclosed in single ready to use packets that can be stored in your purse or tote pocket.
