I remember my mother telling me that 'life will never be the same,' when I was pregnant with B. Anyone who has ever uttered those words in context to having children, is totally right. You suddenly have a sweet little person in your life, and as their parent, you're making all sorts of sacrifices to meet their needs- out of love for them. I had no idea what a drastic change it would be from pre-baby days to motherhood. Things like long showers and taking time for a morning hair and make-up routine have flown the coupe! Thankfully, I was recently introduced to Aquis, who has some fabulous products which make life a bit easier for moms! Aquis knows a thing or two about pampering moms- right at home. Aquis has been revolutionizing at home hair care since 1990, through Britanne Corporation, by introducing a high-performance fabric in a spa-quality product, thus totally changing the way customers think about towels. Founder Britta Cox immediately set out to create a new kind of towel, after discovering the awesome advantages of microfiber.

Britta partnered with the world's leading microfiber company, perfected the formula, and created the world's first luxury microfiber spa towel. breville 800blxl blenderOver the years, Aquis has acquired quite a loyal fan base of customers who love their products. costco canada vitamix roadshow priceToday, Aquis offers everything from microfiber hair towels to washcloths, and luxurious spa robes!oster beehive blender glass jar replacement I was so excited to receive these spa products from Aquis, and couldn't decide which one to try first! breville elderberry blenderI decided that it would be best to just sort of try them in the order that I would normally use them, so I started with the Exfoliating Wash Cloth.

I used to exfoliate my skin on a regular basis, but after I became a mom, I was lucky to be able to take a two minute shower to get my hair and body washed. Exfoliating was an extra step that I had cut out of my routine, because I was trying to get showered and ready for my day in as little time as possible (I know the rest of you moms can relate to this). By having a special wash cloth for exfoliating purposes, I had high hopes that I could quickly and easily exfoliate right in the shower, so I wouldn't have to take extra time out to complete an extra step. The Exfoliating Wash Cloth by Aquis The Exfoliating Wash Cloth is a two-sided material in washcloth size, and is ideal for facial cleansing and gentle exfoliation. I have been using this wash cloth on my face 2-3 times a week for gentle exfoliation. I have stayed away from using specialty facial cleansers, because I have seriously sensitive skin. My skin is usually overly-oily (thank you Italian heritage), so I don't know what it's like to have dry skin on my face.

However, I know that exfoliation is important for removing dirt and oil from my larger than life pores. Just by simply using the Aquis Exfoliating Wash Cloth a few times a week, I have noticed a healthy improvement in my skin. Our skin is our body's largest organ (I think we tend to forget this sometimes), and taking care of it properly should be of utmost importance. Keeping our skin hydrated (by drinking enough water), moisturized, and exfoliated are three simple steps we can take to promote healthy skin, which will keep it looking fresh, and youthful. I also received the Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel, which I couldn't wait to try. My hair is one of the things I dislike most about myself. It's thin, fine, naturally curly, and unmanageable most of the time. I don't have the face for short hair... I tried it once, and it was the worst look I have ever had! Curly hair can be really tough to deal with. I ignored the fact that I have curly hair for a long, long time. It wasn't until after I had B, that I began wearing my hair curly most of the time, because I didn't have time to blow-dry and straighten my hair every day.

I do like wearing my hair straight, though, and when it's not super humid outside, I do take the time to straighten it. Anyone who straightens their hair knows that it's a process, and most of us don't have time to spend 30-45 minutes on our hair every morning. Little did I know that the Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel was about to change how I felt about taking the time to straighten my hair. I have to admit that I wasn't sure about the hair turban. I have not been a fan of hair turbans in the past. Remember- I don't have a lot of hair, and things like towels, headbands, etc, normally just slide right off of my head. Sometimes I get distracted in the mornings after I am showered and dressed, and before I have had a chance to fix my hair, so it winds up soaking wet, combed through and put up on top of my head, held up there by a hair clip. If I get to my hair, I get to it- but sometimes, I don't get to it, and at the end of the day, it's still in that clip, and still wet! I decided to give the Aquis Microfiber Hair Turban a try for two reasons:

When I was ready to fix my hair, I removed the turban and noticed right off that it was already mostly dry, and remained smooth and frizz-free! I followed some of the Pro Hair Care Tips from the Aquis website, which really helped me achieve the look I wanted, and helped me seal that look in for the rest of the day. Any of these Aquis products would make amazing gifts! If you're headed to a baby shower and really want to give a gift that is specifically for 'mom,' the hair towel and hair turban, and spa robe would absolutely be appreciated!
