Olivia Green took to her social media to share her self-care hair day, thanks to a friend’s thoughtful surprise, which left her feeling “a bit less postpartum.” Nine weeks into motherhood, Olivia keeps it candid with her followers about her journey as a new mom. She welcomed her son, Leo, with her partner, Mark, in November, and has been openly chronicling the challenges and joys of new parenthood.
Recently, Olivia’s social media spotlighted a lovely surprise from her friend, celebrity stylist Kelsey Smith, who came over to help the new mom enjoy a much-deserved self-care experience. In a mirror selfie, Olivia showcased the blowout process while gently holding a snoozing Leo, snug in a beanie and pacifier, on her lap. “When your friend surprises you with a blowout while you’re in your robe and not going anywhere,” she captioned the post. “Thanks, @bykelsey for making today feel a little less postpartum. Love you lots!”
Other moms quickly chimed in the comments, resonating with how relatable Olivia’s experience was. Finding time for oneself can be a challenge for new mothers, yet self-care remains crucial, particularly during those exhausting early weeks.
Olivia’s journey hasn’t been without its hurdles. Just last week, she shared her struggles with breastfeeding Leo, posting a photo of various supplements and asking, “Anyone else taking all these vitamins and teas and barely making milk?” She followed up with another selfie, looking a bit overwhelmed, stating, “8 weeks in and I’ve tried a million vitamins, countless teas, lozenges, tinctures, and worked with two lactation consultants. Breastfeeding. Is. Tough.” Hang in there, Olivia.
