If you didn’t know it yet, moms also need to hear words of affirmation. The more often, the better. Here are a few things she’d love to hear:
1. You only need to be yourself. She must be following one or two mom figures on social media, and she probably silently wishes to be like her, or worse, asking herself, “Why can’t I be like her?” To borrow a line from Dr. Seuss, “there is no one alive who is you-er than you!” Remind her that comparison is the thief of joy, and she can take on motherhood just as she is.
2. You are making a lasting impact. Moms often doubt if they’re ever doing enough or if their work amounts to something. Motherhood serves a beautiful purpose: raising kind, good humans who will later do the same to others.
3. You can take a break. A mom with a thousand hats would sooner check something off her list than take a nap to recover from her exhausting day. Take a load off her chores by helping out, and let her know it’s her right to rest.
4. You are beautiful. Most mothers don’t feel as confident about their looks after giving birth or feel a little less than themselves, as the years add. Remind her she’s gorgeous in whatever shape and whatever age.
5. There’s nothing wrong with dressing up. Most moms think they have more important things to take care of than attending to themselves. To be honest, sometimes what’s holding them back is the fear of being called vain (it is not, moms!). While her style can accommodate comfort and needs to serve a current role (i.e., breastfeeding clothes), it’s not wrong to like dressing up and wear make-up. Any woman who feels good about her looks tends to feel better and work better.
Bonus: Sixth, and this goes without saying–assure her that she is loved.

How to apply the Kali:
- Clean and prime your eyelids for easier and better application. The lashes hold better when there’s no oil on the eyelids. You can use a primer or a good dusting of powder or eye shadow works too.
- Shake your Luxx Liner, and swipe them near your lash line. About 2-3 swipes should do it!
- Let the liner dry for a few seconds, and gently press the lashes on top of the liner with soft to medium pressure.
- To remove them, gently peel off the lashes and (important!) put them back in the case just as they came. Make sure they are still following the curve designed to keep them in shape.
- Clean your eyelids with micellar water.
