- Hi Beautiful! In this new series, I'll be sharing my journey to getting back to myself after giving birth! Becoming a first-time mom 2 years ago shifted my perspective on what self-care really means. From mental/emotional to physical changes, motherhood has pushed me to want to pour into myself more than ever before. So whether you are a parent or not, it doesn't matter...I pray that this vlog series will light a fire under you to treat yourself better. Self-care isn't selfish, it should be the standard.

Shay! I said this to you before, at 43, you are helping me rediscover myself.
I truly mean it. I am rediscovering myself for the first time and I am so thankful for you and your content.
I didn’t have any postpartum hair loss with my son and the weight fell off after having him, but my second pregnancy was a totally different story. After having my daughter my hair shedding was awful & Im just now really getting my weight on track after I enrolled her in daycare! She is 2. I can remember when I was growing up the elders would say little girls steal your beauty. 🤦🏽♀️
Yesss I always heard that saying as well growing up lol But I think it's just an urban legend. And that's a great point about your experiences with two children, because every pregnancy will be different! But just know that it's never too late to get on your glow up journey. You are way stronger than you know. Make your checklist today, of all the things you want to change about yourself. A year from now you will be so glad you got started!
Girl, you're right about the elders' quote. I didn't think of that, but it makes my experience accurate. My first born with my son, easy peezy, 2nd pregnancy with my daughter, high risk, and the weight stayed, and I experienced ppd.
@@user-yd2mp7wp3k Yesssss girl!!!!! The things our bodies go through to carry these babies!👶🏽 I have found the weight will come off just not as rapidly as before. My friend found her lack of weight loss was due to a hormonal imbalance when she couldn’t get her baby weight off. Have a great day!🤍
1:28:04 would definitely love a skincare video. I love that you do your research
A series of the post partum glow up would be even better
What a beautiful community and space you continue to create for women! Thank you! 🤍
Today is the day I'm finally leaving a comment. Sending a lot of love from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Dealing with postpartum has been tough for me, and I'm still coping with it in ways that I don't completely understand.
I've had two kids within two years of being married, with my youngest turning 16 months in a few days. I've gained a lot of weight despite barely eating, and I think it might be due to the family planning option I chose a few months ago.
I used to be a size 8, but now I think I'm closer to a size 12 or 14. Your words about quick get slim challenges have resonated with me, especially since I was planning to start a new programme next month. I'm committed to going through this glow-up journey with you this year.
As a suggestion, I'd love for you to do a wardrobe-rebuilding video in this series, specifically focusing on essential items for moms. Many of us have outgrown our old clothes, and we want to look and feel good too! 😊😊
Hey beautiful! Thank you so much for taking the time to not only watch, but share a glimpse of your journey with us. This community is meant to provide a space for women to be vulnerable, while also holding each other accountable. I definitely want you to make a checklist starting TODAY! What are the things you would like to change and we will get on this journey together❤ Sending you lots of love in the meantime. Always remember that you carried and birthed two whole humans, so you are stronger than you'll ever know! You can do thisssss
@@shaynicolexo thank you so much 😊😊😊 I have got this.
Cmon glowing skin!!! Such great information! Thank you so much!
Them cornrows 😍😍😍😍 you look amazing! ♥️♥️
Thank you babe!❤
Thank you. My priorities have definitely shifted and GIRL........! The shift is so real and noticeable.
It's never too late to get back on track sis! You can do this!
I breastfed my daughter for 2 years and lost my edges. This was back in 2021. I’m on my second baby girl and 6 months pp and lost my hair and edges again 4 months in and it’s still shedding in clumps. Worse than before. My hair was just full and gorgeous. I lost my hair 4 months pp with my first as well. Hormones drop drastically at that time, so that’s around the time ppl lose it. I was just saying I need to get myself back. This is right on time!
I love the whole mommy self care trend
Hey girlie! Although I’m not a mom, I’m watching this while doing my own manicure. I totally agree. There’s so many layers and identities that women wear. I’m 33 singke and back in school. I’m realizing that I have to start back making time for me while I balance everythin. So, this morning I made a list on my laptop about things I can start back doing for myself. I’m saving as much as possible because I do plan to go to law school. While that will be on about 3 years, I’m trying to take the time to turn things into habits. Like self care is a requirement. I think it’s great yo do this. We deserve to carve out time for ourselves. It’s needed no matter where we are in life. Thanks for sharing your journey Sis! I like your authentic content✨
The way that you didn't have to share of the details but you did! I appreciate you so very much!
This is seriously so good! Also, the first time I’ve watched a whole UA-cam vlog and kept my attention 😅 I never considered body sculpting for myself but I’m def adding to my checklist now! Thanks for all the gems ❤
This was such a good vlog! It was informative and inspirational! Thank you!
Thank you for the support love!
Girl how you healed your skin my postpartum acne is tearing me up Shay
I think I'll have to do a full video dedicated to skin😩 So much to discuss!
New subscriber here! I’m 10 months pp and like you, struggled with losing hair/edges! It grew back thank God! My biggest struggle is finding myself again. I do not feel like me. I have two boys (12 and 10 months) and my second pp journey did a number on me! My mental health has ne in a constant state of fear dealing with ppa and now some ppd here and there! I’m wayyy better than before just over the intrusive thoughts. Your page has motivated me to pour into myself. I need a change! A whole new look! Thank you♥️
Sis this is AMAZING....you are so right.....fast food is never consistent one minute the taste is great the next time way too salty😫...yes series please for us glowing grandma's out there..hi Princess GIgi💜💜💜💜
I'm so happy I broke up with fast food😂 And thank you for watching🫶🏽🥹🎥
@@shaynicolexo me too 😂😂
Glow up series, yes, please ❤
This a great video. I would love to see a video on the mental, spiritual, and financial aspect of your postpartum glow up.
Post partum with my third child. Thank you for posting. Each post partum is different, and every expects you to just have it all together the third time but reality is each time is hard , each time is different. This post partum was the hardest for me this video motivates so much ❤!
Sending you lots of love! Bringing 3 little humans into the world is such a blessing. You are going to get back to yourself....better yet, you'll evolve into a better version you never knew you could be!💓
YES!!!! I’m 4 weeks postpartum with my 3rd and this video is a great reminder as I go through this journey again ❤
Thank you Shay 🥰 #SagittariusGang 😉
Yes ♐️TeamSag! &!Awww congratulationssss❤ 3 is a blessing! Meanwhile I think I'm one and done 😭
Hello... I didn't know you were in Houston too. Your skin is so flawless! Praying all is well - we just received power! *back to the vlog*
Hey Soror!!! I knew there was a reason I loved your content. ❤ 🐘
You dropped some knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support 🫶🏽❤️
My dermatologist says braids are not a protective style. The tension on the hair can be damaging. Ladies who have worn braids, what has been your experience with them? Damaging or not?
The braids I have are a protective style for a few reasons, but mainly because I never keep them in long and my edges are not braided up.
I’ve been getting braids my whole life and still have my edges. I think it’s about the hair care professional more than anything. I definitely say that braids are a protective style.
Depends how long you leave them in for. I have never gone more than 3/4 weeks depending on the style bc yes they can be damaging
Can I just say I’m not even through the vid and I’m just so happy this is a topic. I had my twin sons in 2020 and I can say I’m fully feeling like me! A new me but ME! Ahhhh I had no idea it would take me that long but I’m so happy it’s finally here 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 happy for us 🫶🏾. Def lost my hair at month 4 and and them edges wasn’t not back til year 1 fr. 😩. I did research about it, the influx of hormones stop then a deflux starts! I read that continuing your prenatal vitamins up until year 1 helps. Chy ain’t nobody told me nothing 😂
The postpartum hair loss varies. I've had five children and only experienced it with my second child when he was four months old. So there is hope lol thanks for these tips because God knows I could use it ✨
12/16…my b-day twinnnnn 🎉we’re exactly 10yrs apart..I’m turning 45 this year!!! So excited 🎉🎉 ..now I really know why I fell in love with your content..we’re Sagittarius sisters!!!!
6 days postpartum of baby #5. I’m excited to watch.
This video/vlog is such a confirmation! Thank you so much for being transparent and encouraging ❤. I truly enjoy your long form content
This was well thought out and presented. The advice you gave was good for all of us, especially the reminder/encouragement around overall self care and self love. You should consider writing a book!
2 words. Thank you 💓 needed that rant at 8 mins.
This video was just what I needed…your delivery had so much empathy and compassion. I appreciate it all!!! Would you tag you braided I would love to have her braid my hair? Thank you!
Thank you, so happy to help! & Yes, my bad, I've tagged her in the past vlogs of me gettin braids, I forgot to do it in this one. Here's her page: instagram.com/muminah_sha_r/
@@shaynicolexo thanks
I lost an ENTIRE loc on the front side of my hair and it has never been the same 😓but I will say I'm exactly a year out since I stopped breastfeeding and my hair is thriving again. I didn't replace the loc along my hairline, it's just lost hair... but yea pregnancy changed everything!
this how I'm feeling with getting my microlocs. I needed to be freed from the shackles of "what hairstyle is next?"
I loved your haircut! I didn't realize you had cut so much! It's beautiful on you!
For skin im back to doing chemical peels to remove pigmentation from pregnancy and just past breakouts. Im striving to "perfection" as close as i can to it at least lol
I lost my edges mainly in my tempmes with my son, and it barely came back. But my daughter made it thin and weak. I 6 take care of it either, so I took the plung and went bald because I thought, why not. It grew back thicker and healthier, and the edges I lost with my son came back. Im happier, and so is my hair ❤❤❤
So glad you touched on body sculpting! I’ve breezed by it but I def need to find someone to go to in VA
Sharp sharp done gave us some gems 👏🏾🙌🏽
Thank God I watched this just before I a was about to do this juice cleanse for the holiday. Nobody’s trying to lose collagen btw you look amazing !
I feel better about the hair loss. My baby is four months old. I went through the same. Now I'm trying to find products that encourage strength and hair growth.
I used ancient nutrition for my postpartum shedding. I drink it everyday in my vlogs on my channel. My hair grew back in 2 months! Changed my life!
I had hair loss in both of my pregnancies. After about the 3 to 4th month of having my babies. Im still breatfeeding now and hes 8 months tomorrow so its def not, not breastfeeding. I sheded for some months but my hair grew back thence
Thankfully and its actually better. I put it on myself to educate myself about haircare during my second pregnancy, so now my hair looks and feels better 😌
Yes a skin care video. Yes a series
Yes for the skincare videos
Can you do a little video about marriage ? I look up to you guys ! ❤❤ I’d love to hear more about your marriage and tips
I barely lost any hair with my son but with my girl I lost a lot of hair. Guess what ? IT'S GROWING BACK. Baby girl is only 18m now. I cried and went to every doctor they all said it was hormones to. The curls changed too.
Yes it will come back sis! I know it's hard, but take it a day at a time❤
Love the video, great tips and very informative. I 💜 You, girl!
Would you send a recommendation of your esthetician
Love this whole vlog! Please give the deets on your gorgeous teeth on the next!😍
I’m 5 yrs post partum and I fell tf off😢 but I’m working on bouncing back though.
It's neverrrrr too late Mama! Create that list and start working towards checking things off little by little ❤
Love your videos, can you share information about your hair stylist 🥰
I think whether you’re breast feeding for a while or not you lose that hair regardless. I’m still breastfeeding my 18 month old and I nursed my first to 21 months and both times lost all my edges from around the whole perimeter of my head. People said bc I didn’t continue the prenatal vitamins but that’s not true, my second child I took them up to 6 months pp and still lost all my hair. This time around with my second, my edges are growing slowly, they’re coming back but VERY SLOWLY compared to the first time
I needed this!!! Thank you and more of these should be highlighted and shared because it serves as a reminder and also helps mommies realize that we are more than just mommies! ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this!!
My Girl Mu’Minah!!!
Btw you can see the ingredients that are in Chick Fil A foods on their website too. I looked them up and almost cried lol
@@kiarataylor8380 Chiiillleeee I don't even wanna know 😭
Hi there I still viewing the video loving it. During dinner, what was the name of the song .playing?
Bless You! Yes that’s so good you betta Preach & Speak the Truth! You are right where you’re suppose to be right now. But the inspiration is gonna help us keep it pushing in Jesus Name! ❤
Thank yoouuu!🫶🏽🙏🏽❤️
Great video! Thank you for sharing....I'm gonna share this with my mommy friends....I feel they don't make enough time for themselves ❤
Thank you, and yes! I hope this will motivate them❤
No girl, 3-4 months post partum is when everyone starts losing their hair , regardless of breastfeeding- your was just a coincidence. Mine dropped out around that time with both my kids and I breastfed over a year with both kids. But there is definitely a change to a woman’s weight when she stops breastfeeding, and also her vagina only fully heals after she stops breastfeeding
❤❤❤
Chile that MSG in chick fil A will put you in a chokehold 😅, they use fake chicken now tho … ISSA NO FA ME
I don’t understand why people want kids. But congrats on being awesome and dealing with all that .
😂
Sometimes the grass is greener because it’s fake. A bar 🤌🏽
