I’m just about to cry my eyes out, the part where she says showing/brushing teeth are basic needs and not self care or filling our cup 😭😭😭oh gosh, this channel saves me
Same here 😢
Rationally, I know that these are basic needs but I for sure treat them as if it’s some kind of special self care to shower alone or floss😭
Anything taking care of self is self care lol
Same to you 😭😢
this is one of my favorite vlogs you've done! yay for taking care of YOU!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
From a 31 yr old new-ish mom whose cup is half empty, this was my favorite video in a long time. I have an appointment to get my lips done for the first time next month and already feel guilty about it and the day isn’t even here yet. Thank you for this message. Also for the first 24 hr of getting Botox I thought my eyeball was drooping. 🤣 happy to report my eyeball still works and we are just paranoid.
I currently have a kidney infection. Taking time to heal myself has made me feel like a "bad mom". I really needed this pep-talk!!
You definitely deserve to rest and heal right now! You’re an amazing mom! ❤️
Kidney infections are THE WORST. when o was pregnant i kept getting kidney infections and kidney stones and the pain was the absolute WORST. Hope you feel better soon!
Get well soon!
KEEP THE CLOTHES!!! Put your favorites in storage. You never know what the future holds!! I’m stepmom to my oldest son and my husband and I ended up having 2 more boys - we are so happy we had our oldest’s hand-me-downs! 💙
i love that you’re so all about your kiddo that doing things for yourself is a “treat”. it’s not selfish, you should stop using that term. you DESERVE to take care of yourself. it’s hard being a mom & we get so caught up in just being a mom we don’t realize we lose ourselves. you’re more than a mama. make this a regular thing. i loved this so much, truly. so glad you recognize & take this time for yourself!
Fully support all of this. I got Botox a month ago and my son is about Arrow’s age. Instant self-esteem boost. Gotta be a happy mommy to be a good mommy.
Hey, I just wanted to say I found this channel when I was pregnant with my first back in 2020. I love your channel and have watched every video since - when I get the time. I am pregnant again now and you are still my favourite down time!
Thank you for everything you do and the inspiration you are 💖 hope you’re having a good day xx
Hey same!! I was pregnant in 2020, im not planning another baby, but I love keeping with her the mom life journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️ u rock momma
Same!! No plans for a second here yet but seriously appreciate all the mom love on this channel. One of my favourite accounts hands down
I didnt realize we are pretty much the same age. Im turning 31 in may. I LOVE that you are sharing your journey with botox. I am starting to look into doctors and have booked one for september to look at my face. I love seeing the process and results and hearing opinions. this is AMAZING and hope to see more of it from you.
I turn 31 this year too 😊 Ive always felt so out of the loop with those my age bc of my height.. I'm 4' 9.5" tall so I always feel like I get treated like a child 😢
@@ashleyschultz6217 you are so tiny, but honestly it's good to be out of the loop haha. I guess I don't relate much to those my age cuz I haven't been able to maintain friendships well. I think it gives me less stress tho to have less people to focus on and I can focus on my marriage lol.
Same age here! 🙋🏼♀️ but I’ve been doing Botox since I was 26, at first just once a year and at 27 I started to do it twice a year. It’s great 🙌🏻
I LOVE this!! Taking time for YOU is important too! We need more videos like this!
Yass for the honesty and for putting yourself first. As a first-time mom under 30, your videos have been my fill my cup moments. Thank you!!
Happy Early Birthday! You definitely deserved this day to yourself! Keep being Amazing ❤️
So thankful for your videos❤️
I love everything about this ❤ it's so important to be able to spoil yourself and invest in yourself like that in order to be your best self and be more happy. Love ya Brittany! Hope you had an amazing birthday
To The Person Reading This: You are loved beyond measure & not alone. I hope you have a restful, beautiful day☀️
~Love From A Small Lifestyle TH-camr🌿🌸
👏🏻 YES 👏🏻 YES YES YES 👏🏻 thank you B.
i needed to hear all of this today
I have a 3 month old... and I have her in my arms from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed (plus I take night duties as well) and the burn out is real. But I know this is temporary. I have had to make it a point to just do the basics--shower, get dressed in the morning, eat, just to feel like a human lol.
Fellow soon to be 31 Pisces momma here too! I completely understood the need to fill up my cup too lately. My 16 m will be starting daycare which will be bitter sweet but it’s the best for both of us.
This looks like a fantastic day!! You are an inspiration to moms everywhere.
It’s so good to know I’m not alone in that feeling of being burnt out. Sometimes you feel like friends or people in your life just have it easier because they have a partner who’s there all the time or at least there on evenings and weekends. As someone who does have a partner but he’s in full time law school it’s so hard to find others who can relate to your season of life. Anyway thanks for being vulnerable and honest and encouraging Mama’s to be “selfish” because goodness we need some time to ourselves.
This video really hit home for me! Lately, I have tried to squeeze in some “bad mom” time just to feel sane again. I feel bad afterwards about leaving my daughter, but I honestly come back refreshed after my me time. I wish I could have more opportunities for me time. Enjoy! And, let us know how the Botox went. I have been thinking about getting some on my forehead.
I'm having my first baby in July and turning 31 in September. Watching you grow through motherhood gives me hope of being a good mom. I think you're doing great and taking care of ourselves isn't selfish
First time commenting on anything on TH-cam. FTM and I absolutely LOVE your content- been watching since you became pregnant. I really enjoy your realistic, honest, and gentle take on parenting. This video made me so happy to watch you taking care of YOU, and it inspires me to do the same. Thank you! ♥️
Awww yay! You definitely deserve some YOU time! ❤️
I'm 40, my baby is younger than Arrow and our lives couldn't be more different. Still enjoying the vlogs and I totally understand the "bad mom" thing ❤️
Same, I am also very different in life, lifestyle and parenting but love watching her. ☺️ I am 37 this year and it’s interesting to see you are around my age.
I found you when I was six months pregnant with my first, and I've never stopped. We don't have the same lifestyle or parenting style, but I enjoy your videos immensely because you're so genuine and you radiate this happiness and hope. Always do what's best for you girl, I'm sure the best is yet to come for you. Also I'll turn 26 in two days, i somehow knew you were a piscis. Haha!
SAME! Different style but she is so genuine it’s refreshing!
Well said! My cup is feeling quite empty, needing a break, my 15 month old is amazing but she is at a fussy/tantrum stage so it’s taxing me more than normal. Yes a iced coffee, a nail appointment, a massage, really want a hair appointment highly considering going full on purple! Glad Botox, nails, & McDonald’s fills your cup you deserve it!
Needed to hear this today. Thank you, Britney!
Doing the same thing today for myself!! Definitely need these days to refresh and feel human again (sometimes). ☺️ have a great week!!
Yes you deserve it! I hope you have some amazing me time ❤️
@@brittanybalyn I hate to do this but have you been using telegram to contact random draw winners?
Good point at the end, I always think of a hot bubble bath or my McDonald’s ice coffee as “self care” or “filling my cup”, but you’re right about the small things just being daily life ect… recently I bought a tv & Xbox for my bedroom since I just had my 3rd baby and wanted to be able to hang out and nurse her/nap with Netflix or a game and honestly I have no regrets. Being able to have a relaxing moment with the door shut (while my hubby watches the kids) or (when they’re in bed)and watching some tv seems like a luxury I haven’t done in a very long time
Fellow Pisces Mumma here of 4 girls. I’m about to turn 30 & as of lately your videos are so refreshing and just what I need to hear!! My youngest is almost 10 months and almost walking and I forgot how hectic this age is. On top of the daily chaos I have an almost teen and I’ve just dropped all night time nursing for my little babe. I’m having a lot more ahhhh moments and I’ve become a lot more vocal with my partner and older girls, that I need time to fill up my cup too 🤍 appreciate your videos x
How are you not like 24 again?? LOL! ✨♥️Honestly you look adorable in glasses. You are my favorite TH-cam momma. I mean it! 👶💗 Thx for sharing another beautiful vid w/ us!
Oh, dear brittany i am burned out too. I swear you could be my other twin sister. You are so, so not alone with all of this. I think you are the only person i have seen so far that i can relate to, within the way that you describe every emotion and so and so on. It is okay, not to be okay all the time. Because as a mom you work 24/7 and we are only humans. It is humane to be and feel other things too, than just good all the time. Because a good mom has to be an authentic person too. Your honesty is everything to us in your community. You are such a great inspiration, and for that i thank you kindly!:)💕🥂🧋🥤🍫☕️
Glad you are taking care of yourself ❤️
You are goals!!!
The missing bits of the matching sets issue was definitely not something I had thought of or heard about before... glad you talked about it🙂
❤️❤️❤️ love you. you make me smile on my worst days! & i have been stuck in this depressive episode for about 3 weeks now since my dad passed away but i’m really trying! the talk really helped me
Definitely needed to see this video now! 🙌🏼 Have been feeling so exhausted lately with a 8 month old and recovering from a flu 🥵. Keep doing you girl!
Needed to hear this today.. first week of our new co parenting schedule and even though I need the break tonight it feels bittersweet xo
“You just gotta be bad to be good” liked it!❤️
I am always so excited for your videos! I've decided to try and squeeze some me time in soon inspired by you xx
Been watching you for so long and this whole time I thought you were like 23 😂 I loooooove you so much and good for you for taking time for yourself, its so so important ❤
Yes, get that ‘selfish’ time in!! You’re doing amazing as a mom so it’s fun and inspiring to see you taking care of YOU!
Loved this! Some well deserved me-time for you Brittany! Watching your videos is actually one of my ways to fill my cup ☺️
LOVE this! Happy early Birthday!🎂💕
The saying that “Taking a bath or shower is basic need and not self care.”, was not helpful for me because I do feel refreshed when I get time to do that comfortably when my husband takes over but I find that I feel less grateful, like it wasn’t enough.
I do get what it means but feeling like it wasn’t enough, makes it feel less good, if that makes sense.
So now I just choose to be grateful for all the small self care I get to do.
Love your authenticity, always 💛
Low key jelly of the off days with coparenting lmao my toddler would be there throwing my fries to the dogs 😂
Im 33 weeks pregnant and I recently found your channel! I love your videos their so helpful and are getting me through the toughest of days!!
My favorite vlog of yours! Cheers to YOU!
Going to be cliché and say needed this today 😭. 9 months on 2-3 hours of sleep. Caffeine fueling my entire life.
Toddlers are such hard work 😅 you deserve a break, Thankyou for sharing!
I bought those toddler pjs from Amazon you recommend a few videos ago, big fan thank you!
Love thisssss 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for being true and honest to yourself, I think these are your best videos.
This is beautiful thank you so much for sharing!! 😍😍😍
I have a 7 month old Babygirl and I haven't had any me time at all.
My Husband is building our home, so he took the day off the other day and told me to go to the beach 🥰
I went for a hour it was beautiful swim, read a book and just relaxed.
I felt bad, leaving bubba but honestly needed it for my soul 💓
love this!
Lovvvveed this vlog 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😆
Thank you... feeling emptier now than I have in a long time. Need a 'bad mom' day desperately.
I neeeeeded to see this! My cup has been so empty lately as a FTM. I feel so guilty for doing something for myself, but you’re right. I’ll be a better mom for it.
You’re just a gem xxx
Hey Brit, I just wanted to say….. THANK YOU for addressing that you got Botox. Honestly I have never thought about it but I forget that most of social media beauty standards are from people getting procedures and deny having it which sometimes have led me to feel insecure about how I feel. SPECIALLY on those moments that the under eye mom bags are creeping in…. It made me feel so good watching this, because literally you are filling your cup with things that you want and also including beauty. I have been wanting to get a keratin treatment for my hair now for some time now, so thank you so much. I’m just calling now to make my appointment.❤️ I love you and thank you for BEING you.
Im in the same boat when it comes to clothes and size 😭. My 13m old is in the 99% and fits in 18m i feel like im cleaning her drawers out every couple weeks because she just keeps growing! Im 5'2 and shes already half my height 😭❤️
Same 😭😭
Me and my little one had our birthday today. The whole day was so stressful, so many people came by and so much preperation going into that. My little one turned one - what a year it was. My cup is so empty right now. I dont even feel it was my day too. Which is fine. But I am sooo glad about your video and your honest vlog. I am totally in need of some me time. Just booked a massage after seeing this :-D and so looking forward to it!! Thank you so much! Lots of love from Switzerland
Ooooo yes get that massage! I’m so excited for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for talking about this 🥰
I love doing my nails curling my hair. I've been craving nachos the last 2 nights so I'm sooo making that tonight.
Yes!! Some people think that having a shower or washing your hair should be “break” enough 🤦🏻♀️
Literally no guilt here. I love taking a day to myself. Massage, blow out, nails, lunch out even champagne out…makes you feel like your old self again! Plus you come home and are much more engaged with home life. So so so important! Thanks for sharing. Ps I want Botox. More Botox content please 🎈
The two piece outfit you’re wearing looks sooo comfy where’s it from?
I feel you on the tall baby. Mine is 16 months and 34.5", officially, as of her 15 month wellness visit on Friday.
OMG McDonald’s #7 is my favorite guilty pleasure!!!! 😂
I so feel you on the food thing! I can never get McDonald’s when I’m craving it because I’ve got the kids with me 😩
Keep on staying healthy my dear
I have been getting botox in my jaw muscles and temples for tmj but most recently my dentist also put it in my forehead (for frontal headaches).. where the '11's are. My eyes were sooo dry but that's apparently common. The middle of my forehead also felt soo heavy and I had a lot of headaches and those two things lasted like 2 weeks. I still had like a weird tingly (almost like a sinus infection feeling) in my forehead for even a couple months. I liked how it made me look refreshed for sure but I really didn't like the pressure feeling.
31 this year as well and most definitely plan to get some on my forehead toward the end of the year.
So far it’s been a good experience for me! Always great to get a recommendation from a friend in your area ❤️
This is my favorite video
fill up my cup! Lol I get you about the two piece thing, I just went through my daughter's clothes last night ♥️
I relate so much to you. Also 31 in about 2 weeks, have an 11 m.o., also love to change things up. Also been considering botox for my birthday 😅 Don't feel bad foe it. Just make sure that you don't replace human contact with "new things", and everything will be 👌 I've learnt so much from you, and totally agree: organizing things is so nice - clutter makes me tired to even be in a room
I'm gonna add to the shouting crowd: this is one of the best & real videos I've seen in a while. 🖤
My daughter was born July 15th so she’s just barely behind Arrow and it just always cracks me up seeing how similar they are 🤣 I also just picked up that same fleece sweater from target! Lol. Love your vids. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re amazing!! :)
Oh and my girl’s also alwayssss in the 99th percentile for height and I’m only 5’3 🤦🏻♀️ she is definitely going to be taller than me. Lol
Love this! Happy birthday. I am also trying to take more time for myself. Mom burn out is real lol
One of my most hated chores organizing and decluttering baby clothes but yet we do it to ourselves because we buy them
Love this. People never understand that I need a break in all those ways. I way been a solo parent for the last 6 months and before that I had my husband with us but you know just after work. So people offer to watch her to let me nap and I'm like thanks but no thanks that's not enough my body won't even let me do it. I need a mental break, a nobody is touching me break and I would die for a bath and a book but my cup has been empty for a long while.... hopefully it'll be better when my husband back from deployment ❤😁
can’t afford that initial necklace but I want one , deadass might try to DIY it 😅 love it!
Exactly!!!! I just did that today. Today i went to beauty clinic for my armpit treatment, sometimes i think "wtf am i doing this?" Lol but it made my day after all.
Also can we talk about sad it is to go through their clothes ugh it makes me cry almost every time
Yes!! I have felt immense guilt and have spent a grand total of maybe 5 or 6 hours apart from my daughter in her 15 months of life, including time to go to dr appointments. I finally decided it was okay for me to schedule into some exercise classes outside of the house a couple times a week and let her have time with Dad without me. But I still feel such guilt for taking time for me but I feel like I'll lose myself and my mind if I don't
Where did you get your initial necklace? I needs it 😍
I’m currently pregnant with my second, my daughter is 18 months and just started daycare, I went back to work (at least for the next 6 months until baby #2 arrives) and it’s rough. I was really looking forward to going back to work but it’s sooo stressful with a tired toddler after pickup. I just survive until she goes to bed, I then shower and go to bed as well. I’m still throwing up twice a day and I’m so happy my husband takes over some of the duties, he brings her to bed etc. Being a single mom must be 10 times harder😩
you made me crave mcdonald’s now😭😭 brb gotta get some mcnuggets now
Watching you have to explain yourself so that you don’t feel like a bad mom is making me so sad! Moms are constantly going through mom guilt and explaining themselves to make them feel less guilty. The other day I was burnt out and unfortunately I have NO help. No friends no family except from my husband so he took my 1 year old to go get food. 30 minutes. 30 minutes of me time and I felt so bad I wanted to cry. Lol
We are better moms than we give ourselves credit
You are the queen of co-ords 👑
Thank you for this video. Recently my boyfriend went to work in another country for 5 weeks, then 1 home and back again for 5, and so on. After being with him everyday for 3-4 months, because he didn't have a job, it is soooo hard to be alone with a todler. I dont really have any help except on weekend when my mom is not working. So i am trying to find balance. And now instead of cleaning the apartment, i am drinking Coffee and watching TV, while little one sleeps. Thats a start - right?
I KNOW I'm late watching this, but as a mom of a 2.5 year old: I FEEL THIS so much. Recently went out with friends my own age without my kid for the first time since he was BORN and I was like: woahhh how weirdly full my cup feels....and I'm with you on that McD's order lol. Still having trouble not feeling guilty about taking me time: me considering buying a $500 Dyson Airstraight because i feel bad about spending ONE HOUR a WEEK doing my hair (basic hygiene). Uff. Mom life.
Brittany you are my favourite ❤. Love to watch your videos..
Yes! Sweet and sour sauce!
Oh my god. I needed to hear and feel this message. In two weekends time my (then) 10 week old boy is going to a good friends place for the night so my partner and I can have a break.
It'll be the first time for me being away from him for more than an hour (I've been to the shops without him) and I have so many mixed emotions about being away from him 🥺
I agree !!!!
I loved this video! Such a good message! Happy 31st birthday and I hope you enjoyed your "bad mom" day. :) I just turned 31 and am also going to get botox soon!
