Hey mama, quick reminder: You’re doing an amazing job. But don’t forget to take a sec for yourself, okay? Coffee dates, bubble baths, skincare or just five minutes of peace (miracle, I know 😅). We’re rocking this motherhood gig, but hey, we gotta recharge too! Here’s to us, the fabulous chaos coordinators, remembering that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. 🌟💕

#OneADayPartner Guys! I’ve exercised all my adult life, and after a few wellness faux pas, I have learned a thing or two about staying on the right track for my health and well-being! Thank you, @OneADay_US, for providing me with daily nutritional support I can feel good about and for making me feel safe to open about my past wellness mistakes and to share the healthy habits that help make me feel my best today.

Finally got my hands on the new Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray from @oribe, so here is a quick date night hair transformation. I was going for a full glam hairstyle and this product was perfect for heat-styling my hair. I am absolutely in love with it! Not only does it provide 450°F heat protection, but it also repairs, conditions, and nourishes hair. I’ve noticed a significant difference in how smooth and polished my hair looks after using it. It even helps with flyaways and frizz! Also, this spray works on dry hair!!

Looking for a heat protection spray that adds sheen to your hair? Try @oribe’s Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray! You won’t be disappointed.

#OneADayPartner �Confession time: Yep, I tried the celery juice cleanse multiple times, trying so hard to hit drinking only celery for a week because I was told it was good for me! But the truth is, I was so hungry and couldn’t last more than 2 days
- how can that be good for me?

Since then, I’ve stopped listening to all the wellness noise and started listening to science! Which is why I love my @OneADay_US Women’s VitaCraves® Gummies! As part of a healthy lifestyle, taking One A Day® multivitamins is another thing you can do to be your best you, designed by experts to support your health goals. So don’t listen to the noise out there. Add One A Day® to your daily routine today!

#GoodMeasurePartner I know that forming and keeping a wellness routine can be difficult and time-consuming. However, I have discovered that setting small goals, starting small, and committing to habits that I enjoy can be helpful in keeping me on track. Also, establishing morning habits sets me up for success throughout the day.

This year, one major habit that I am focusing on is my health and food. As you all know, blood sugar is central to everything we do. So, l have been stocking up and enjoying @goodmeasurefoods as my go-to snack. I love having convenient blood sugar-friendly snacks that fit into my wellness routine and help me prioritize keeping my blood sugar on track! The bars are also delicious!

If you are like me, trying to create a wellness routine, I recommend choosing snacks from Good Measure. Their snacks help provide our bodies with essential nutrients and have little impact on blood sugar levels. #bloodsugarfriendly #AllinGoodMeasure

How would you rate this look on a scale of 1 to 10?

I have made the decision to dress my postpartum body with pride and wear the clothes I love, instead of waiting to lose all the weight. I have to tell you, it's become so much fun! Also, I have started to love and appreciate my body, which has given me a lot of confidence these days!

#ad Which look is your favorite?

I’m taking my big girl Zoë on her first big vacation and ensuring she is comfortable and well-dressed is key! So I got her a few of my favorite styles from @carters latest spring styles. I have to say, she loves them as much as I do! Carter’s offers trendy styles at an affordable price, which is why I just love shopping here for my little fashionista.

They have a large variety of stylish options that best fit her fun and playful style. I can’t believe how cute she looks in these soft and comfortable outfits!
Also, they have up to 40% off on new spring arrivals, so go check out Carter’s! They have everything your baby needs!

Hello Pilates Cardio!

These past few months have taught me the importance of being kind to my body and mind. I’ve been exploring different workouts that I truly enjoy, and Pilates has become one of my favorites. After giving birth, my doctor advised me to take it easy and make Pilates my primary exercise. I’ve been experimenting with ways to make it more exciting, and adding the jump board has made me feel like I’m flying (I’m a runner, so you know what I mean). Trust me, this is a challenging and enjoyable workout!

This year, I want to share some ways to be gentle and kind to our bodies by doing workouts that are easy on them. Here are six reasons why I love practicing Pilates and why I decided to invest in a home reformer!

1: Pilates is a full and challenging workout, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

2: It Prevents Injury. I practice before, during and after my pregnancy and it was perfect for my body.

3: Enhances Your Mind and Body Awareness.

4: Creates a Balance of Strength and Flexibility.

5: Relieves Stress.

6: It Builds Up Your Energy! What I need all day long with Zoë 🤣

Also, don’t forget to take care of you today!

Glass skin is a popular trend that many people love, although not everyone has the time for an 11-step skincare routine( I don’t hahaha) However, it is still possible to achieve a super dewy, smooth, and hydrated look using fewer products. Here are my favorite products for achieving a glass skin look that’s safe for both mama and oily skin.

Products used:
-@milkmakeup Cooling Water Eye Patches
-@keyssoulcare Reviving Aura Mist
-@caudalieus Instant Firming Serum
-@glossier Full Orbit Eye Cream
-@youthtothepeople Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream

I’m still in disbelief that companies like @roadwaymoving exist to provide such great assistance.Taking care of a baby is not an easy job, and packing up an entire house and moving in a short amount of time added to my stress for sure. However, @roadwaymoving and the entire team completely changed my perspective on moving!

I am incredibly grateful for their fast, efficient, and painless service, as well as their kindness! I wholeheartedly recommend @roadwaymoving and their team, and if you use my code ‘deddehhoward10 they will be at your door in no time!

We are now official homeowners!🏡🌴

It has been a long and winding journey to get here, and I am still in disbelief as I write this. Michal and I moved to Los Angeles 15 years ago from different parts of the world with nothing- no family or friends, and found each other on a dating app( Thank you, Hinge). From the moment we met, we knew that we were meant to be together! To love like crazy, to change each other’s lives, to move mountains, and make dreams come true. Today, it’s just the beginning!

I hope you’re ready for a lot of house renovations! Sorry, Michal, I’ll go easy on the changes 😂🔑

This picture of me represents the Growth, the New Me, 2023, and the many new things that happened to me this year. It's the year I grew the most in such a short time. Both mentally and physically. It was one of the happiest years but also so intense and hard on both me and my family. Honestly, I’m so proud of this version of me, the very grown-up Me, the mom, wife, lover, daughter, friend, and more. She is stronger, still a crazy dreamer, and still knows how to have fun, but most importantly, she's deep into her feelings and more in touch with her mind, body, and the world around her. I’m so ready and looking forward to 2024! Thank you, guys, for all the love and support you have shown me and my family!

So many of you have watched me grow into the woman I AM today, and I’m so grateful for this community! Thanks for allowing me to grow and share my life with you! Wishing you all the best in 2024! We got this!💪🏾

Love Deddeh 💚

Let’s GET REAL for a second. Motherhood is such a beautiful journey; it’s honestly all the feels, but it is not easy at all. I sometimes find myself trying to be perfect at everything, from caring for my little girl to caring for my mind and body, but the truth is, we don't have to be perfect at it all! We must embrace 100% realness in our lives and do our best!

 I partnered with @gotmilk to share how I stay my authentic self while being a new mom and caring for my mind and body, which is finding my inner strength through the practice of yoga, staying active, and the nourishment of real milk. Each pose, each sip, is a reminder of the power of authenticity. Real milk not only supports my immune system, helping me stay strong for my baby and me, but its proteins aid my recovery, allowing me to push my limits and embrace life to the fullest, and I don't have to be perfect at it! Join me on this journey of self-discovery and genuine living. Let's toast to realness, resilience, and the beauty of being true to ourselves. 🌟🥛

Dear Parents,

In the whirlwind of parenthood, @masimo_stork helps make those moments better. Our Stork Boot, delicately cradling our baby’s foot, dives deep into her well-being, tracking pulse rate, oxygen saturation, and skin temperature. It’s more than just technology; it’s a touch of reassurance and gives me confidence while I transition Zoë to sleeping in her crib.

And when you yearn for a glimpse into their nursery, our Stork Camera reveals every detail with clarity, day or night. It lets me speak to my baby and stay on top of her comfort with room temperature and humidity tracking and alerts no matter where I am. I love playing music for her from the app! 

It’s not just about knowledge; it’s about connection. It’s about feeling close, even when you’re apart. @masimo_stork helps savor every precious moment of this incredible journey, and I wanted to share! 

A fellow parent 💕

3 Months Postpartum Abs! 💪🏾

C-section recovery is no joke but I’m feeling stronger and better each day!

I took a little break but I’m back to slowly training/helping my body to heal from the inside out. These are some of my favorite Abs exercises I have been doing to help heal and tighten my abs, and the full body benefits from it!

Also, you can do this workout anytime and you don’t have to be postpartum. I used to do it a lot before my pregnancy and I loved the results!

All the reps and sets are in the video but let me know if you have any questions.

Parenthood is so many things. It’s a journey unlike anything else, full of precious moments and lots of hard work. As a new parent, having a baby monitor system that helps me stay on top of my baby’s comfort and get to know her better is so important. That’s why I love our new @masimo_stork, a baby monitoring system that uses the same SET® technology trusted by 9 out of the top 10 US hospitals. As ranked by the 2022-2023 U.S. News and World Report.

Honestly, using the @masimo_stork system has made life so much better and easier for me, as I can see what’s going on with Zoë when she’s in her room or when am out by tracking and accessing her date on the app, live QHD-capable high-resolution video, talking and singing to her and staying on top of her comfort from anywhere.

We currently have the Vitals+ bundle, which comes with the Boot, Camera, and App. You can also get the Hub, which is easy to travel with and lets you listen to your baby anytime, from anywhere. Like when your baby sleeps over at grandma’s, or you head out for vacation.

We’re in love with our Stork and wanted to share. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Our skin during and after pregnancy is different and goes through more than we can imagine! Because the body has been through the mill, and the fact that we moms are not sleeping very much doesn’t help at all. In many cases, your skin issues will resolve with the passage of time and some TLC! But having a skincare routine helps a lot and also, it’s mommy time!! So here are Safe Postpartum Skin Care Products to nourish, nurture, and protect your skin while nursing.
