You often hear it – women put everyone else first. And it’s true. We tend to be the homemaker, mother, wife, and friend – leaving little for ourselves in terms of time and health. Today, I’m reminding all women that it is okay, and important, to take time for you. How can you be the best mom or wife when you are not taking the necessary steps to refuel your own energy tank? Women’s health not only means her genetic makeup, but her physical, mental and social well-being. Read on for 5 easy ways to be the best you without feeling guilty!

Lancer’s Intensive Night Treatment: This luxurious anti-aging cream is formulated with skin beneficial hydrating agents including Hylaplex® and marula oil which provide a moisture barrier, helping skin retain healthy hydration for a smoother, plumper appearance and renewed radiance.
Over time your skin loses it’s youthful appearance. Taking a few minutes each evening to wash your face and apply a luxury skincare product, like Lancer can really go a long way. Just apply a small amount to the face, neck and around the eye area for best results. I really like that the intensive night treatment includes soybean extract which can reduce skin flakiness. I’m really loving the product, and it’s such a simple way to take a few minutes out of your busy day to take care of you.

23andMe DNA Collection Kit: Understand what your DNA says about your wellness, traits and ancestry. Receive 65+ personalized genetic reports.
Everyone is curious about their DNA makeup. 23andMe is an easy way to send in a saliva kit and receive a detailed DNA test on your family history, wellness, traits, and even if you’re a carrier of certain diseases. It takes several weeks for the DNA kit to go through various tests, and I’m looking forward to sharing my results with all of you in another post coming soon.
I really appreciate that this genetic test not only includes family history information, but also shares information for me to make the best informed decisions about diet, etc moving forward. This will also be something I can share with my 2 boys so they know more about their history and health.
Want to get your own DNA kit? Check out https://www.23andme.com/ for more details.
In what ways do you put your health first? What women’s health products are you interested in adding to your daily routine?

I’m so eager to get the results back from the genetic test!! I think every family should know their history! 🙂

I am awful about putting myself first. I guess I make time for doctor’s appointments and girls’ nights!
Jamie H says
I need to start taking better care of myself. I would LOVE to do the DNA test stuff! My mom is big-time into Genealogy so I know a lot of my history but the disease stuff would be good/fun to know.
