Tik Tok’s famous “that girl” aesthetic but mom edition! “That Mom” sort of has her shit together, at least enough to throw on a matching set daily and brush her hair. She loves a good trend but also embraces functionality more than ever, is health-conscious but also a sucker for occasional junk food, and a run through the Mcdonald’s drive-through for a diet coke (iykyk).
Here’s what is in her Amazon cart.
Olaplex No. 3
Bye bye to the days when you slicked your hair back into a bun simply because it hadn’t been washed in a week. Now we slick our hair back not only because it hasn’t been washed in a week, but also because we now know from the Tik Tok girlies that if we drench it in Olaplex No. 3 before we brush it into said bun our hair will look flawless come wash day (I attest that this is true).
And before you say it, yes, yes we know Olaplex has been under some heat lately due to an ingredient linked to infertility. But they’ve already removed the ingredient and reformulated so as far as I am concerned it is perfectly okay for the Olaplex bun to live on.
Lulu Lemon Belt Bag
Never did I ever think I’d see the day that I would own something from Lulu Lemon. I am just not that girl, I can’t justify hundred-something dollar leggings in my tax bracket. But ever since gen-x made belt bags trendy I have seen the Lulu Lemon Belt Bag everywhere. It’s now been dubbed the bag for hot mom walks, perfect for keeping your phone, a snack for the kids, your keys, and your wallet on you at all times. I tried to find some dupes on Amazon, which were okay but honestly, the bag was not super expensive at all so I just went for it.
Bala Bangles
I will say I do not personally own these, but I have to fight the urge not to buy them every single time I see them in the store. I see them at my TjMaxx all the time and they’re so freaking cute but I have a pair of ankle weights that I bought and my husband was like you’re never going to use those (I am notorious for buying workout equipment and never using it, including a $500 bike, oops) and they’ve been sitting in a closet untouched because the straps annoy me. However, whether I own them or not they are the hot mom walk accessory we all need. Even Tinx says so.
Five Minute Journal
Mental health has to be a priority as a stay-at-home mom. You’re overwhelmed, overworked, lacking sleep, and so much more. As much as we would all love to have time to sip a hot beverage in peace and quiet, do a 10-minute stretch or yoga flow, meditate, journal and have a hot shower that is just not reality 364 days of the year. Instead, we settle for a literal five minutes of journaling in our five-minute journal because five minutes of gratitude is better than none.
Square Wine Glasses
In the name of health, Kombucha is the that mom drink of choice. And because that mom needs to romanticize the smallest parts of her life, she elevates a simple glass of kombucha by pouring it into a fancy wine glass.
