When you’ve had one baby, you think you know all of the apparently top-secret things that happen after a new little person comes into your life. I say “top-secret” because everybody talks about the lack of sleep and around-the-clock feedings, but they fail to mention a few things. For example, I found out about the sexy mesh underwear after Alexis was born. I had no idea up until then.

So when Mila was born, I thought I knew what came next.

Go ahead. Laugh at me. I KNOW.

It took me a while to figure out that this time was different. I should have seen it, but I was busy figuring out how to survive in this fantastic new world of two kids, so I didn't. Months went by and I didn't catch on that pregnancy gives you great hair. After, though? OH.

I didn’t notice it with Alexis. While I did know people who had talked about their hair not seeming as great after pregnancy, it just didn’t occur to me that I could experience the same thing. But it wasn’t just a “post-pregnancy” thing, I was compounding the issue because of my lack of… well… I wasn’t exactly being a healthy human being at the time.

After Mila was born, I had 70 pounds to lose. I had lots of chaos with trying to figure out how to balance two kids who were in dramatically different places in life. And, on top of it all, I had lots of stuff happening at work. It’s possible that I was basically living off of caffeine.

Whoops.

I’m still working to establish a more balanced lifestyle. I’m doing better with eating balanced and juggling time. Another thing I have done to sort of build the foundation for getting it together is to start taking vitafusion™ Hair, Skin & Nails Supplement.  

It’s easier to have shiny, happy, healthy hair if you’re getting the vitamins and minerals necessary to support healthy hair.* I’ve tried this route before but this time I might actually be able to keep it up because vitafusion™ products taste good and don’t require water. Convenience is my best friend. And so are these two crazy little people.
