Caruso’s Natural Health – Mummy To Twins Plus One

Lately I’ve felt frazzled.

I’ve not been able to pinpoint why this is, but feel that it might be due to having too much to do, and little time to do everything.

I suppose three kids don’t help with this feeling of frazzledness. It could also be that I have motherhood stress or otherwise known as being constantly overwhelmed.

Mothers never get breaks, mums do everything and also seem to be the last on any list. Sad but true.

Some things I am doing to overcome feeling stressed out:

Make sure I keep up with my vitamins. Caruso’s Natural Health have wonderful products to help you look and feel amazing. If you are feeling down it could be as simple as you need more vitamin D or B. Even though we live in a country that gets a lot of sunshine many don’t get enough of vitamin D. Or you could need an herbal supplement like Caruso’s Anxiety Aid or Caruso’s Rhodiola to help you reduce nervous tension and stress.
Get some exercise – I really want to do more but at the moment a walk is just what I need.
Meditate – Calm down and just have some time alone. Sitting in silence is great when you have a crazy house full with three kids.
Watch a favourite tv show when kids are at school and care. This way I can finally hear the show and not pause it a million times due to being interrupted.
Get more sleep – I am always feeling tired and exhausted. More rest is ideal and sleep is one thing that is high on my to do list. You cannot function properly if you don’t get enough sleep, you end up grumpy, frustrated and annoyed.
Make a date with friends – A simple catch up with some mates always makes you feel better. You can have a chat, feel better and have some much needed adult conversation. It is hard as a busy mum, but try and book in these times and you will thank yourself for it.

Taking my vitamins for the day - they are helping me feel better. — Taking my vitamins for the day – they are helping me feel better.

When I am stressed my body hurts.

I suffer from severe tension headaches, I end up with a sore jaw, head, neck and more.

The pain is intense and during these periods I don’t get a lot done.

The housework suffers, my work suffers and all I really want to do is to sleep and be left alone.

I struggle to keep my eyes open due to the intense headaches and feel so exhausted.

The supplements that I received from Caruso’s Natural Health have made me feel calmer very quickly. I was not sure how long it would take for me to feel any difference, but I believe it was noticeable after about a week.

I recently attended The Bloggers Brunch and had the opportunity to listen to Frank Caruso speak about his journey and how he has built such a successful business.

If you don’t know who Frank is, he is the man behind Caruso’s Natural Health

Frank explained how he had teachers that thought he was not bright and would not amount to much. He had doubters but he never kept on giving things a go. Frank Caruso’s talk was very motivational and made me think about my journey so far.

I had very similar things happen to me as a child. I was told that I was stupid. I would not be able to do this or that and I should just get an office job and forget about it.

Thank goodness, I was stubborn and did not listen to the doubters. I kept on plodding along and worked towards my goals.

Slowly but surely, I managed to get into the university I was drooling over. I managed to get in as a mature aged student. According to the universities mature age is from 20 years and older. I started my undergraduate degree at UTS (University of Technology, Sydney) when I was 23 years of age.

Frank invested in his health journey and was so passionate about it, it became a hugely successful family business.

Learning about Frank Caruso's tips for success. In grade 3 one of his teachers told him he would never succeed at anything. I was always told that I was never smart enough to finish high school or go to university. I decided they were wrong, I put my head down and bum up and just kept on going. I persisted, I ignored the negatives and kept going. Frank did the same. He ignored the negativity and the people that were not helpful. I finished high school but didn't do well, but this did not stop me. I ended up going to university as a mature age student (this was when I was 23, so not that old really). I have since completed an undergraduate and masters degree. I have created a blog and structured an online space for me and other like minded people. Don't let other people's view of you dictate what you will become! This is one of the key points from Frank's tips. #tipsforsuccess @carusosnaturalhealth #business #bloggers_brunch @kids_business — Learning about Frank Caruso’s tips for success. In grade 3 one of his teachers told him he would never succeed at anything. Don’t let other people’s view of you dictate what you will become! This is one of the key points from Frank’s tips.

Hearing Frank talk at The Bloggers Brunch was inspiring and made me think of things I wish to achieve for my business and my family. Frank is contagious regarding motivating people about their dreams and passions.

It got me thinking about my health and wellness after I got home.

Since having kids, I want to make sure I look after myself. I want to be healthy and active for them, oh and myself as well.

I make sure to have good food, some exercise, rest, relaxation (although sometimes hard with a busy family), and time with the family to just be.

Part of looking after myself means that I make sure to get enough vitamins and minerals that my body will need to lead an active life.

Being a mum is tough job. You cannot afford to get sick (no sick leave, no sick pay, or nanny to come help) so being as healthy as you can is very important.

It is even tougher when kids get sick and you are the one that cares for them, dodging coughs, and snotty noses is next to impossible and therefore mum is the next one on the list to get ill.

Since having my last child, Alexander, I have noticed that my hair has been very dry and brittle. I don’t remember this happening after the twins. Maybe it did and I was so tired I never realised.

I mentioned this to the team at Caruso’s Natural Health and they recommended I try Super Collagen Builder for Hair, Skin and Nails.

Super Collagen Builder for Hair, Skin and Nails from Caruso’s Natural Health.

I’ve been using the Super Collagen Builder for the last month and it seems to have made a difference to my hair. It appears softer, and not as dry. I will be continuing using this product to see what it does over a longer period.

I do eat quite well but like to ensure I’m getting the right vitamins and minerals with a multivitamin. I’ve been taking Women’s Super Multi. This is a multivitamin tailored for women on the go.

I take one multivitamin a day. I’m sure this has helped me feel better and allowed me to keep going when the kids have been unwell. This multivitamin helps you for all round health, heart, immune support, bone health, energy, stress and loads more.

Meeting Frank has made me see that I too can achieve what I set out to do. I already knew that health was extremely important and as a mum looking after myself is a top priority.

Not only will being healthy in my older years ensure that I am here for my kids but will allow me to lead a happier, and better life.
