"Motherhood is beautiful but can also be messy and demanding," she said before recommending a special OLAY gift set that contains her go-to products. "Now that I am a mom, the best gift I could imagine is something that allows me to treat myself. I have realized self-care is more important than ever, and I think most moms will agree!"
