Motherhood is a beautiful journey filled with love, joy, and cherished moments. However, it’s also a role that demands immense dedication, selflessness, and round-the-clock care. Most moms often find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities, leaving little time for self-care.
That’s where Lazada, one of the leading e-commerce platforms in the Philippines, steps in as a beacon of support through LazMom. With LazMom, moms have access to not only fantastic deals on trusted mom and baby products but also to the LazMom Club, a community that fully understands the unique joys and challenges faced by mothers. Self-care is important for moms for many reasons, and let’s see how LazMom plays a pivotal role in helping you achieve balance in your lives.
The Essence of Self-Care for LazMoms
Moms, the unsung heroes of every family, deserve a moment to prioritize their own well-being. The demands of motherhood can be overwhelming, often leading to burnout and stress. Self-care is not a luxury but a necessity for mothers, as it enables them to recharge, regain perspective, and continue giving their best to their families.
Self-care encompasses various aspects of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It involves finding moments of relaxation and indulgence amidst the daily hustle. While the concept might sound idyllic, the reality for most moms is quite different. Time constraints, budget considerations, and the sheer exhaustion of motherhood often lead self-care to take a back seat.

Lazada has recognized the needs of all moms out there and introduced LazMom during the exclusive LazMom Me Time event. This unique and rewarding event held last August 18 offered LazMoms a multitude of benefits to support their self-care journey.
Kit Malvar Llamas, a mother, self-love advocate, and esteemed speaker at LazMom Me Time gathering, offered invaluable insights and tips on the art of self-care.
Self-Love = Invest in Yourself
Being a supermom is an incredible journey filled with love, joy, and the occasional chaos. Amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood, it’s easy to forget about the most crucial person in the equation—you. Self-love isn’t selfish; it’s an investment in your well-being.
Self-Love is Compassion
At the core of self-love is compassion. It’s about treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you offer to others. LazMom believes in embracing self-compassion through mindfulness, kindness, and recognizing our connection to humanity.
Empassion and Empathy
Moms are known for their empathetic hearts. But it’s essential to extend that empathy towards yourself.
Ask yourself these questions:
-
Did I Respect My Own Boundaries?
Moms are notorious for putting everyone else’s needs before their own. It’s essential to set clear boundaries and communicate what’s acceptable and what’s not. It’s about understanding that respecting her own boundaries is a form of self-care.
-
Was I Reliable?
Moms are reliable superheroes for their families, but it’s equally important to be reliable to yourself. Did you follow through on the promises you made to yourself, just as you would for others?
-
Did I Hold Myself Accountable?
Accountability is a trait that should be valued highly. Being accountable to yourself means taking responsibility for your actions, choices, and goals. Did you hold yourself accountable for your well-being and happiness today?
-
Did I Respect the Vault and Share Accordingly?
In the spirit of empathy, a supermom believes in respecting the “vault” – the space where you hold your innermost thoughts and feelings. Did you share your thoughts, fears, and desires with yourself, treating them with the same care you would when sharing with a friend?
-
Did I Act from My Integrity?
Integrity is a superpower that every supermom possesses. It’s about aligning your actions with your values. Did you act in a way that resonates with your core beliefs and principles?
-
Did I Ask for What I Needed?
Moms often take pride in their self-sufficiency, but it’s okay to ask for help. Do you know that asking for what you need is an act of self-love. Were you non-judgmental about seeking assistance when necessary?
-
Was I Generous Towards Myself?
The final piece of wisdom is about generosity, not just towards others, but towards yourself. Were you generous in offering yourself forgiveness, love, and understanding, just as you would to your loved ones?
In the whirlwind of motherhood, it’s easy to overlook the importance of self-love and self-care. However, as this list reminds us, self-love is the foundation upon which we build our ability to care for others. By embracing self-compassion, empathy, and self-accountability, Moms can continue to be the incredible heroes they are, all while taking care of the most important person in their lives—themselves.
Remember, self-love and self-care aren’t indulgences; they’re necessities.
